Sophie's first photoshoot

Sorry I am so behind on the blogging!! As many of you know, I have been a little under the weather for the past few weeks. I want to thank everyone for your prayers, phone calls, meals and everything else. We are so blessed with such wonderful families and freinds to help in this time of need. I honestly could not have made it through without you. These pictures are from several weeks ago obviously. Sophie is growing like a little weed. We call her our chunky monkey since she now has 2 chins!! Enjoy!

Sophie and her Hippo, she wasn't quite sure what to think about it.



















Bath time for Parker














Sleeping Beauty, this is what she does best. We are so fortunate!! We actually have to wake her to feed her.














Parker, Baby Sophie and "Matensie"







Wow, how time flies. It is hard to beleive that little Sophie is already 3 weeks old. She is such a good baby! Parker is starting to understand that she is here to stay, and that he is not the center of attention anymore. This has been hard for him and he does all that he can to take away from her whenever he can. Feeding and bedtime are the hardest. We pray that it will get better with time. He is a good big brother though. He loves to help clean bottles, as he is obsessed with water. He also loves to help feed her, although it doesn't last very long!! We are so blessed to have two beautiful, healthy children and look forward to watching them grow.

Day 6--Settling In!

Today, little Sophie is 6 days old. She is such a good baby; and Parker is such a good big brother. His favorite part about it is helping clean the bottles and pumping supplies, remember he is obsessed with water! I will take all of the help that I can get though. He is still not real comfortable holding her, that usually only lasts a few seconds. He cannot wait until she can take a bath with him. He doesn't quite understand why she can't yet. I have included some pictures of Sophie's room for those who haven't seen it yet. Andrew did such a good job on it!!
