Sophie Smiles

The smiling is by far our favorite new development. Things with Sophie have been going really well in the last two weeks and her smile is such a great reward after getting through the first two months.

Today Sophie is 10.5 weeks old and probably weighs near 13lbs. She's sleeping in nice long stretches at night - once even almost 8 hours! Her eyes still look blue and despite her pediatrician's pronouncement that they are turning brown, I don't really see it yet. She absolutely loves eye contact. If you look into her eyes and say hello, she is more likely to smile than anything else. It's a lot of fun.

She does share one definite trait with her sister, in that Sophia also stopped taking a bottle about a month ago. I haven't written about it because I really didn't want it to be true. Unfortunately we are about to deposit her with Victoria this week as a child who will not eat while we are apart from each other. I guess bottle striking is hereditary? Is stubbornness hereditary, too?
