One of Sophie’s teachers sent me a video from circle time and this text: “We started singing Baby Beluga at circle after rest, but quickly forgot the tune. Sophia saved circle and sang the entire song for us!” Here’s the video that she sent: http://bit.ly/UAtu8m
We’ve also learned that during art, whenever she’s asked by her teacher Patrick “who is that for?” her answer is always “not for you!” This is how one of her pieces was labeled the other day. Apparently we need to work on some manners…
Hard to believe that it’s been a month already! Lauren had her check-up this week and weighs in at 9 lbs, 12.5 ozs, and is 20 inches long. Big sis Sophie weighs in at 36 lbs and is 37 inches tall. Both are doing well and growing growing growing!
We had our first snowfall the other day. It was fast and furious and gone within a few hours, but Dave and Sophie took full advantage building a mini snowman in front of the house.
We are thrilled to introduce Lauren Isabelle, born on December 28th at 5:50am. She weighed 6lbs 15ozs and was 19 inches long. The delivery was such a good experience, and both her and I did so well we got to come home from the hospital a day early! Big sister Sophie has been loving on her all week, just like everyone else who meets her.
This year we spent Christmas Eve at our house with Mom Mom and Pop Pop. Dave made a fabulous dinner (2 fishes, as opposed to 7) and then we opened a few presents. I got a new camera, and so did Sophie! She did a lot of practicing…
We had a Holiday-filled day today. This morning we made some Christmas cookies (some pics below), then went to Sophies very first Nutcracker, which she was very good for, and then watched Frosty the Snowman. We’re ready for Christmas!
Well, we’re in the final stretch. I officially hit 37 weeks, and full-term, on Thursday. I’m feeling good, despite some random contractions over the last few weeks. At my last doctor’s appointment I was 2 cm dilated, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Looking forward to meeting her soon!
Three months into school and Sophie is doing great. She’s one of the big kids in her class this year (which is from ages 18 months-3 years). I think she likes showing the little ones how to do things. We had our parent-teacher conference last week and we found out that her favorite “work” to do is language work and art work. Not a surprise. We also found out that her and her best friend Claire need to be separated during Circle Time and lunch because they are too distracting to each other. Uh oh….
Here are a few pics from her teachers blog:
