Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband, whom provides for his family in every way possible, and for our family and friends, for all the love they give to our baby, and to us. I'm thankful that we're all healthy, and employed. Thank you, God!

We started our Thanksgiving off at my mom's house. Ate there, then later that evening went to my dad's house, and ate again. Then back to my mom's house to have dessert and visit with Jeremy and Lisa (Robert's son and daughter in-law). We're still full, but we had a great time!

At my dad's...Jesse, Laura's niece, has a baby, Josiah, he's 3.5 weeks older than Sophia. They're looking at each other for the first time. Can you believe how much hair that baby has?! He's such a little man.

Helpers

Steven was out of town for the week...Here are some pictures of all the people that came to help me while he was gone.

Nonnie stayed Monday night with us. Thank you, Nonnie!

Auntie Kelly spent the night. She was a big help.

My friend, and neighbor, Terry, came over several times during the week to help us out. She's so wonderful!

Spa day

Sophia has had several spa days with her grandma. How many babies can say they've been massaged by a professional?

Trivia Question-How many pounds did I put on since Birth? See Below for answers!

Sophia went to the doctor last week and in one month has put on almost 3lbs and 2 inches since birth. Her percentiles for all major stats are in the 75-90. For those of you that know me, I like to eat. I think my daughter got her daddy's gene for that. She is eating 4-5 ounces at each feeding. We have been busy as a family going to lunch a few times, dinner once, which did not work because we did it too close to feeding time, so dinner was in a box to go. She dressed up f0r Halloween as a pumpkin, or at least my baby pumpkin. Sophia and mommy had a special moment where Sophia started to really interact with her with smiles and cooing. That moment of course made mommy feel just wonderful.
