3 Years Ago, Today

Love you Nick, Always and Forever!

1 Year Old!

I seriously cannot believe that Sophia is already 1!!! This year has gone by so fast as Mom's out there know. And this time around I think it has gone by exponentially fast (2 kids = 2x's as fast). When I think about all of the things that we have done this past year it seems like a lot of stuff and that certain things (trips to the beach, zoo, NJ, snow storms, etc.) do seem like awhile ago, but when I see pictures from the hospital it seems like yesterday that she was born.
At one year Sophia is walking, talking, playing, and just being busy all the time. She is a happy, smiley baby who we can't get enough of! She has 6 teeth is wearing size 3 diapers and sleeps through the night, about 12 hours, (mostly!!) with one wake up around 5am (for a drink of course!) She takes 2 pretty predictable naps during the day that are anywhere from 1 to 2 hours long and can still wear most of her size 12 month clothes. (although now that it is getting warmer and all her summer clothes are 12-18 months she is moving to that size!) She can be found most times turning pages of books (preferably ones with babies in them, her favorite) saying Baby, starting to drink from sippy cups, eating all table food, and dancing to music!
She has actually started to slow down (growing wise) at the Dr we found out she was
21 lbs 13 oz (55%) only a gain of 1 lb 11 oz in three months
30 3/4 in (90%) only a growth of 3/4 in in three months
18 in head circumference ~70% (I haven't really kept track of this but I don't think her head is exceptionally large)
This year she has had 4 ear infections (including a trip to the ENT, one bout of bronchitis, and is headed to the allergist (we think). And who can forget her hospital stay at 4 weeks for her unknown virus!

We love our baby girl and what she has added to our family!!
