Monday: Jake, the chef, loves to help Mommy in the kitchen. Today we made a meatloaf for dinner. He really wanted to get his hands into the meat but we left that for Mom. He did get to crack the egg into the bowl, though, so we had a bit of shell clean-up! He enjoyed eating his masterpiece that evening.
I always post photos of Sophie calm, happy, and relaxed. This is our Sophie most evenings. She sure has classic colic but, knock on wood, she seems to be turning a bit of a corner. She has had several quiet and happy evenings since Saturday. We continue to cross our fingers that the trend continues. We have tried special hypoallergenic formula that costs a fortune, Zantac twice a day, probiotic powder daily, Mylicon by the gallon, and Gripe Water by the half gallon.......seems that the old theory that no one knows what causes colic and that it will start to improve after about 3 months of age holds true....or so we hope!
Friday 4/30: Sophie's first time touching the grass! She was just amazed and the texture seemed to thrill her. She is beginning to grasp many things, reach out for toys, and has definately discovered that she has hands. It is truly amazing to watch that hand-eye coordination develop and improve every day. It's just one of the many things that I don't remember being as amazed by the first time around with Jake.
I love this photo of Dave with his kiddos! We had a nice hour hanging outside in the nice weather last Friday evening. Jake was riding his bike, blowing bubbles, and worm hunting while Sophie discovered the lawn. We just had fun watching!
