Three's a Charm!

Our sweet girl!

Tummy time on Tony, the Tiger.

I couldn't resist...

Sophia is now three months old and Raph and I keep asking ourselves "where has the time gone?" These past few months of parenthood have proved to be the most wonderful, challenging, rewarding, and truly amazing time of our lives. Everyday Sophia surprises us with a new "trick" and we can't wait for more! At three months, Sophia's personality is really starting to come out. She is so playful and she smiles all the time. She is now able to grasp and hold onto her toys and yes, put them into her mouth! She chews on her hands and drools constantly! Her favorite thing to do lately is to pull up to a sitting position by holding onto our fingers. Tummy time is starting to be a fun thing and Sophia also loves looking all around when we go for walks. And, Sophia is sleeping (almost) all the way through the night!

A few weeks ago I returned to teaching part-time and it is working out great. Allie Clatterbuck comes to our home Mondays and Tuesdays to watch Sophia and we feel so lucky to have found someone as kind and gentle as Allie. At first, it was so hard to leave in the mornings but it is getting a little easier. I enjoy my flexible schedule and being able to get out of the house a bit. Tracey Stakem and I are also busy preparing for the musical, Guys and Dolls, at St. Luke's.

Mom and Dad (Grammy and Pop) have a standing babysitting gig on Thursdays when I teach dance at the studio. It is so wonderful seeing Mom and Dad with Sophia - they are the epitome of what grandparents should be. We feel so lucky to have them so close by.
