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?

Sophia Noelle Semsh
WELCOME
Sophia Noelle Semsch
BORN JULY 13th 11:04 am 8lbs 14oz 21 inches
Our baby girl entered the world and our lives are forever changed.
We are so blessed to have her with us. She is so beautiful and we are in love.
Mom and Dad are doing well and everyone is settling in to our new life together.
She was born at St Vincents hospital in Portland. The nurses and care that we received were excellent. She is nursing and sleeping effortlessly.
When she was born we were so surprised and delighted by her full head of dark hair and the dimple on her left upper cheek. She is wide eyed and very alert, from early on she had had strength in her arms and neck.
She loves sleeping in her basket, basinett and sometimes her crib. But, her favorite is her swing. She loves her swing! We don't know what we'd do without it.
We have been busy going on walks and rides and a few shopping and dining experiences too.
We have also stayed busy visiting the Doctors. She is wearing a brace/harness to help her hips settle into the joints. She has hip displasia, more common in breech and first time babies. This is something that can be corrected and we are staying positive that she will get the results from wearing the brace.
Every day there is something new that we see her do for the first time. Her smile is so precious and she smiles when shes sleeping. Hiccups are quite frequent and pretty adorable, her sneezes are so soft and gentle. We have watched as she has discovered her thumb, that was on her 8th day. When she was 10 days old she was holding her hands together. She loves having her scalp and ears massaged. So we make sure to get some massage time in each day. We know that each day holds a new discovery and we look forward to showing our little girl all the wonderful things that life has to offer.
