2 months old!!

Today our little Sophi turns 2 months old!! I can't believe it. The past month has been so much fun as Sophia begins discovering her world and we continue discovering her little personality (she has a big one!!).At Sophi's two month check up the doctor said she was doing excellent!! She weighed in at 10 pounds 1.5 ounces. She is still 21 and 3/4 inches long but moving up on the height chart and staying in the 75% category. She is still a great sleeper which the doctor said was truly a blessing. She's such a cuddle bug when she's sleepy!

Sophi has discovered her hands over the past month and constantly is putting her fists in her mouth! She has also discovered her feet in the last week and likes to stare at them as they move, realizing she is doing the moving. It is soooo cute!

Sophi loves to sit up and hold her head up. She also loves to stand and often takes steps while being helped to stand. I think she is going to skip the crawling and go straight to walking. She is holding her head up more during tummy time and working really hard on rolling over. Not quite there yet but close!!One of the cutest things that has changed in the last month is Sophi's ability to talk. She LOVES to talk to you and also loves to sing (my kinda girl!). She will sit and smile at you and just babel away or just simply talk to her herself, no need for mom or dad to be present to discuss the goings on in her world!

Sophi has a contagious smile and loves to laugh. We think God has filled this little one's heart with joy!(I think she looks a lot like my dad in this picture, as Josh says, "That's a David Scobey face!)

Sophi will be taking her first plan ride in a little over a week as we travel to
Atlanta for Thanksgiving. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel across the country with our little one. If you have any advice for plane travel with a two month old please let me know!!

We pray that everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your time with family and friends.

she is precious! here's my travel advice:
* put her in a front carrier/sling while at the airport so that your hands can be free to carry bags, tickets, misc. things
* both of our boys had major blowouts every time they flew. so we learned to put them in diapers that were one size up so that there was extra room for poo...it's better to be safe than have yellow poop spray on your neighbor (yes, it really happened!)
* the people on the plane are going to love her!

Hi Lauren, Caleb was a great sleeper when he was that age so we would put a blanket on the floor under the seat in front of me and let him sleep on the floor. It was wonderful since it freed up my hands to enjoy the flight. I realize some might think it is not safe so do what you feel is best but it worked like a charm for us ... he slept for 2 hours straight on most flights :) Sophi sounds like she'll do great no matter what!
