August Highlights

My oh My have we been busy. August was a super fun month we started the month with a visit from Nana and Pop (John & Becky). This was a very fun time for all of us because we really started to get out and go places. We ate out at some really good restaurants and did a little shopping. Having lots of hands really helped the new parents get acclimated. Then Sophia's Nana & Pop (Dan & Judy) visited from Montana. We had a really fun time all being together and sharing the love that a little of brings into this world. We love having grandparents around, they bring so much love to complete this beautiful circle of life.
Then we ventured out for our first family camping trip. We went to lost lake with our new kayak, the dogs and the pop up camper. One night proved to be just right for our first trip out in the woods. More camping trips to come.

At one month old she continues to be so alert. She loves her new rattle and her toy moose and owl. Her hand and eye coordination seems super impressive and really entertaining. She is really into her dance parties with mom and dad and loves her listening to music. Baths have been super fun because she gets to be out of her harness and she gets to kick around and swim. Good news with her little hips!!! Her Doctor says the sockets are deepening and they are being corrected by the harness. So, with this great news we are told she will be out of her harness Sept 26th and only wear it at night. We are so pleased with the progress that she has made and a few more weeks seems like a breeze. She is cooing and really responsive to the sounds we make with her. We swear her first word will be Hi, it already sounds like she is saying it. I have to mention her hair because everyone we meet comments on it. She has crazy hair and Lots of it! It gives her so much character and its her. I admit to putting product in her hair to try and tame it, it kind of works for a minute. And then it just pops right back up.

The end of the month wrapped up with a fun night out to a beer festival, a fun house party with some live music, lots of hikes in the woods and parks. Some visits with her pals Sullivan (9 days younger) and Vivian (born on the same day). Our lives have changed and we couldn't be happier. What did we do before Sophie was here?
