A few firsts...

Sophie's first big outing...a day trip to Roseville with the family.

Sophie is a month old! She already has her first cold...so sad. And had her first breakout. I hate baby acne. She's still adorable though!

Nana and Papa got a hot tub! The girls have been having fun it it...especially in the morning!

Ella lost her first tooth! She pulled it herself when she was laying in bed trying to go to sleep. Kinda made mommy sad...she's getting so big!

Avery took her very first real ballet class! She did so good and loved it!

Sophie drank her first bottle! Daddy can feed her a bottle at night now! And mommy and daddy can go on a date.

First smile from Sophie on Camera. She is smiling often now! Such a good baby...and such a little chunk! Wow, we've had an eventful week!!!

3 weeks today...

Maybe a little cross eyed in this picture.
Her favorite place...and mine too. And this swaddling blanket from the hospital is the best for swaddling, which she loves to be. Her cheeks are looking much fuller these days. I took her to the Dr. last week for her two week appointment and she was already 9 lbs 5 oz. Which means she is probably already 10 lbs!!! This girl likes to eat! She is still a super easy baby but has definitely found her voice. She lets me know when she doesn't like something. Adjusting to having three kids has been pretty easy so far. A lot easier than I thought it was going to be. It seems that Avery decided to become an angel child the second Sophie was born. Both her and Ella are such big helpers and have adjusted so great! Now we are waiting for our house. We were supposed to move in to it in two weeks but found out yesterday that it won't be ready for us to move into until the second week of December. I was so bummed. I am itching to get all moved in and settled and decorating for the holidays. In the meantime my parents have been so great and gracious and I know my girls will have the best memories of living with their Nana and Papa! Plus my mom is a huge help!!! Maybe that's why its been an easy adjustment with three kids!

HALLOWEEN....

I had to post these pictures of Sophie in the onesie and the blanket that Beth Feigner made for her. Beth is so talented...Sophie looks so cute in it and we love them!



I just love the ruffles on the bum.

One week old tomorrow...

It's been almost a week that Sophie came into our lives and it feels like she has been apart of our life forever. She is a happy and content little baby. We are already getting good sleep...she is just a dream angel baby.

INTRODUCING.....Sophie Marie!!!!

We love her so much! She is perfect in every way!

She weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 inches long.

My labor was wonderful! I went from a 4 to a 10 in 45 min. And pushed four times and out she came!

Proud sisters!

She was born on Darlin's Birthday!

Going Home!!!

So peaceful!

First smile on camera!

Pumpkin Farm...

We had fun at the pumkin farm last week just the four of us! We wanted to do a family outing before the baby came and I thought for sure she would be here by now. I am still only dialated to a 1 1/2 but I do have a date to be induced on Thursday if I don't go into labor on my own. I am very anxious to have her...I just know she is going to be atleast 10 lbs! Gabe and I can't wait to meet her and neither can the girls.

Anyway, love the pumkin farm here. I'm sure we will be going a few more times after the baby comes. The treats are to die for and I can't believe all that they have done to the place since the last time I've been. It had been years.

on the train.

The sunflower maze! We took home four huge sunflowers for Nana for her birthday!

Avery loved to brush the goats hair! She stayed in there forever.
