Dogwood Festival

We had another fun weekend enjoying this beautiful spring weather.  It could've been a little warmer but it was still nice enough to get outside and we took advantage by heading to Piedmont Park Saturday to check out the Dogwood Festival.  I've always wanted to go but somehow never made it in the past.  It was the perfect day to take a stroll with Sophia, check out the art vendors, taste some yummy treats and see the sights.

There were so many people there that I felt slight anxiety at times to bring Sophia out before her shots (I pray she doesn't sick!).  We did keep her away from crowds as much as we could and pretty much kept her covered the whole time.  She was such a trooper and slept almost the entire time we were there.

Can't wait for this warm weather to stay and we're looking forward to all the fun festivals around Atlanta this summer.

One Month Shoot

Today Sophia and I had some fun with a little mini photo shoot.  I've been seeing these pictures all over Facebook for months with friends' babies and what seemed like little stickers marking each month.  I'd been curious where to get those stickers and I looked them up online.  Turns out they're all over Etsy for a mere 8 -10 dollars.  I thought it might be fun to make some of my own and finally got around to it today.

Trey and I actually took a one month shoot a week ago on Easter Sunday (which was more accurately her one month) and it's crazy to see how different she looks in even one week!  The last shot cracks me up because she really does look peeved.  But one second before she was smiling.  The look totally comes from her slipping in the chair but it's still funny.

TODAY

One Month Check Up

I know I've already said it but I can't believe Sophia is already a month old!  This past month has just flown by and today we went to the pediatrician for her one month check up.  She was supposed to go tomorrow but has been spitting up more than usual so the doctor had us come in a day early.  I just called to check because she didn't spit up AT ALL for the first month but then started to these past few days - and sometimes quite a lot for hours after a feed.  Turns out the doctor thinks she's just an efficient eater and has been getting a little too much - little chunker.

And chunker she is - in a good way. She's gained 2 lbs 1 ounce since her birth!  She weighed in today at 8 lbs 3 ounces.  That puts her at 19th percentile for her weight.  She's 21 inches (grown 2 since birth) and 41st percentile there - whatever those mean.  To us - and the doctor - she's perfect! ;)

She had to have her second Hep B shot today and it broke my heart to see her turn from her usual happy go lucky self to a teary little pumpkin.  She didn't like that one bit.  Poor thing!

But when she got home she was all cute and cuddly and ready for a nap.  I took the opportunity to snag a few shots of her cute little self.
