Our friend Zach, who is starting his own photography business, came by last week and took some pictures of Sophie. Here she is at 6 weeks. 
Sophie Photo Shoot
Time with Dad
Dave and Sophie spent some quality time together this weekend (while Dave spent some quality time with his iPhone)
This picture says it all for Benson. No longer the top dog… he’s been banished to the background. Poor guy! 
Easter 2010
We spent Easter this year at the Sharp’s house. No Easter egg hunt – we’ll have to wait until next year for that. Sophie wore a dress that used to be mine. I’ll have to try and save it for her daughter! 
“Aunt” Carol and “cousin” Shannon enjoyed spending time with little Sophia too. 
Trying for a Smile
Sophie isn’t quite smiling on purpose yet – but we’re working on it. Here she is alert and looking around, which is darn cute even if she’s not smiling.
Happy Birthday Benson!
Today Benson is 4 years old! I can remember the first time we met him at the shelter in North Philly. He was so excited to meet us and was wagging his tail so hard that his whole back end was wagging. He’s still that happy every time we come home. Happy Birthday to the best dog in the world! .JPG)
Almost 4 weeks!
Tomorrow Sophie will be 4 weeks old!
The last few days she’s been a bit of a crankenstein and had some blood in her diaper, so on Friday we went to the pediatrician and found out that she has milk protein colitis, which means that she can’t tolerate dairy. So… that means that as long as I’m nursing I need to cut dairy out of my diet – and just when I thought I didn’t have to worry about what I ate anymore! Happily we’ve already begun to notice a difference in her moods after she eats. And last night we enjoyed a solid 5 1/2 hours of sleep straight! We’re not counting on that being a habit – at least night right now – but it was definitely enjoyable. 
Mom Mom
Mom Mom is here for the week to take care of Sophie – and give some very needed help around the house!
Hiking in Wissahickon
We took Sophie out for her first hike on Sunday. The weather was gorgeous here this weekend and we thought it was about time to take her to one of our favorite spots. She slept through most of it, but I think she enjoyed it all the same… 
Two weeks today!
It’s hard to belive, but Sophie is 2 weeks old today! 
Sophie & Benson
In an effort to make Sophie and Benson great friends Dave tried to bring them closer. Benson isn’t quite there yet… and Sophie doesn’t seem to notice him either way. We’re sure they’ll be friends soon enough…
