SOPHIE: Gooooochie!
DADDY: Wow, Soph! I thought you were cute yesterday...but somehow you got even cuter today! How did you do that?
SOPHIE: Ehhhhh?!
DADDY: How did I get so lucky to have two daughters?

Goofing Around
A few shots of Georgia goofing with daddy...
And Sophie wearing one of G's old hats, which is really really too big, but way cute.
New Phone/Camera
I'm not completely sure why this is so huge...but it suits her.
A Tale of Two Ears
Georgia had her tubes put in over a week ago - she had to have drops for four days. She was very patient.
Then on Friday we went back to the ENT for a checkup. He said her hearing improved from 20 and 25 to 10 and 10! Apparently that means something big. We also fitted her for special earplugs.
She was very patient while the molds dried.
She also likes my new phone, which meant I finally got a smile out of her.
She also loves Dr. Williams' chair. Oh and Dr. Williams. She really loves him, too. So much that she made daddy look up his picture on the computer (which is where all the pictures are, according to her).
Fingers crossed, this means no more ear infections for a long while!

Sophie and Jean
Henry's mom had a birthday party last week and Sophie got to spend some quality time with our friend Jean. She is really smiling this time!
Jean's a natural - she has a lot of grandkids and had no trouble handling little Soph.

Georgia and the Disney Princesses
What can I say? I'm a sucker for advertising. And guilt works really well on me. When I was in the hospital with Sophie, away from Georgia for so many days, we watched a lot of TV and saw commercials for Disney Princesses on Ice. So yes, I bought two tickets. There was a pre-show dress display.
Here is Georgia trying to get Tiana's attention. It was too precious for words.
She held up her princess purse as if to say, "Look! I have you on my purse!"
She chose to dress like Jasmine...which is interesting when you hear what happened later.
So I got really good tickets. I mean really good tickets. Of course this was a complete misread of my situation. I was taking a 3-year-old to a basketball arena to watch a Disney show, from the fourth row: STUPID MISCALCULATION. Here we are before the noise and the smoke machine started.
Then Tinkerbell came out and the music launched, then the set flew up in the air and G totally lost it.
Even an introduction by Mickey and Minnie didn't calm her down.
The first vignette was about Jasmine and we didn't even get to stay long enough actually see Jasmine herself.
Very soon she told me to get her out of there. She pointed to the exit and said, "I NEED GO UPSTAIRS!" Once we were outside and calmed down, she decided maybe she did want one of the shaved ice things inside a character cup. Shockingly she chose the Flounder cup ($10) instead of the Tinkerbell ($16) or Cinderella ($18). She went against type and I love her for that.
When we went back inside we smartly chose a set up high, right by the exit. Georgia enjoyed the Sebastian spoon that came with her cup.

Trying for that smile
We have been working on getting that smile in a photo. Daddy thinks it's so elusive because the flash on the camera ruins the photos...I think Sophie is just judicious with her smiling.
Oh her skin just looks so, so, so new. The comparison is not kind.
Here we are experimenting with camera settings.
A little sleeping video...
They really were sleeping when I took this photo. I woke them up, of course.

Sophia at 8 weeks
She's big! Unfortunately not as big as Georgia would like (she asks me everyday when she gets home, "Is Sophie big?"). But we're celebrating anyway because at today's two month appointment, we learned that Sopharino weighs 12 lbs 4 oz! She's 23 inches long. This makes her in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th for length. Her head is 15 1/8 inches - putting her at the 50th percentile there - proving that while she knows how great she is, she's not getting a big head about it.
Warm Weather
Georgia had no ill-effects from the tubes, so by Friday morning we all were ready to get out of the house. Luckily it was a freakishly warm day, so we gathered up Sophie and went to the park.
Georgia had to wear her belly-dancing scarf on the bike, of course.
Sophie observed from the sidelines.
She has her purse and a radio remote control. Don't ask me why.
Um, can you tell that the three of them are related?
