We have a roller!

Ahh! I definitely feel like a proud parent right now. After weeks WEEKS of watching Sophie try so hard to roll over, she has finally done it! She is able to roll from her back to her tummy and has been doing it for the last 2 days now. The only blunder is that Sophie despises playing on her tummy so it is a continuous cycle of her rolling over and me flipping her back over before she goes to full meltdown mode.

However, when she is on her tummy, it seems like she is now trying to crawl. Her legs make the proper motion, but her arms still need some help. So exciting!

Omar and I were so so proud of our growing girl, we were like cheerleaders at the Super Bowl! Can't imagine what we'll be like when she graduates from college. :p

In other exciting news, Sophie has slept so well the last few days! Going down at around 9, waking at 4:30 to nurse, and back to sleep til 8:30. My goodness does it feel good to sleep! Now if only I would go to bed when she does...need to do that. ANNNND she took a 3 hour nap yesterday! WHOA it's amazing how much I can get done with a cup of coffee and a napping babe. For the 1st time in 4 1/2 months, I actually completed my to-do list. This is progress, people!

Sophie's 4 month checkup

My big girl turned 4 months on December 27th so yesterday we went to see Dr. Matsumoto at TLC Pediatrics. LOVE this doctor, by the way. She is super sweet, very relaxed and was a 'Top Doc' in Phoenix Magazine. She congratulates me at each appointment for continuing to nurse Sophie, tells us we are doing a great job with our little babe, and always explains what she's checking for and why. Love it!

Anyways, Sophie weighed in at 14.5 oz (50-75 percentile) and a whopping 26" (95 + percentile!). We were in awe at her length...no wonder she's wearing 9 month pants now! Dr. M agreed that my girl is definitely teething and her lower two teeth are starting to move up.

Soph also had to get 2 shots :( I know that immunizations are important and all, but it is so darn hard to watch my baby get so upset. I felt like she was giving me the evil eye all day because of it. She'll thank me if Diphtheria decides to make a comeback though :p


Mommy loves you, sweet angel!

Hello Blog World!

So i'm really doing it...entering the cyber world and starting a blog! Yippee! I've decided that with the start of 2012, this is the perfect time to start documenting all of the memories i'm creating with my wonderful husband Omar, beautiful daughter Sophie, and cuddly pup Bella. I can't promise perfection, especially grammatically (despite those journalism and teaching degrees *gasp!), but I can promise a little bit of fun and laughs along the way. So welcome friends! I hope you enjoy my life as a twenty something mommy:)
