Sophie had a stellar Day 2 at babycamp! She took the bottle, enjoyed the other babies, and generally made us all look very good. Way to go, Soph!
RECENTLY OVERHEARD
GEORGIA: I'm the Mommy! Eat this eat this eat this!
No, stop that! Quiet quiet, you sleeping. You not supposed to do THAT. You sleeping!

More from Sophie's First Day
From Victoria's report:
Sophie was happy, active, social, independent and busy.
"Sophia took her first nap, when she awoke she sat in the bouncer seat looking all around. She wasn't fussy when I decided to feed her because it was almost four hours after the last time she ate. I offered her the bottle, she moved the nipple around for about a minute, then she started to suck on it. I think I was more excited that she was taking the bottle than Sophia :)"

Day 1
Today was Sophie's first "full-day" at babycamp. G was happy to bring her in and show her off. I planned to come pick them both up early, expecting the worst because of Sophie's recent anti-bottle campaign. This is what I saw when I peered through her door.
I was so shocked, I took two pictures. This is Victoria, feeding Sophie her SECOND bottle of the day. I know I'm tempting fate by even mentioning it, particularly since Sophie will have a longer day at babycamp tomorrow. But still, I am so incredibly proud of this little munchkin.

A Little Bragging
This is Sophie, just this morning, around 7am as we were about to see Georgia and Daddy off to school. Sophie's not usually up at this hour. She usually sleeps in a bit, but did not because I had to wake her up at 6am BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN SLEEPING SINCE 10PM!
This kid officially SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT! And so did I! I didn't even wake to make sure she was breathing.
I only had to wake her at 6am because I was worried she had passed out from lack of food all night. Wow, kiddo, you are a superstar! (NOTE: Yes, I am aware that this practically guarantees she will be up every 45 minutes tonight, the night before I return to work tomorrow. I'm just focusing on the positive right now).

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?

Sophie Finds Her Thumb
It didn't last too long, but it was pretty cute when it happened.
She seemed about as excited as we were.
Later, she and I fell asleep and Daddy practiced using the new phone camera.
Sleepy angel baby.
