A month?!

Sofia is one month old! It is hard to believe at times that a month has already past. For the most part things are going really well, other than the daily battles with gas and fussiness.

Sofia eats about every 4 hours during the day and has gone up to 7 hours in the night. There are times that I have to wake her up to eat during the day as it has been 5 hours since she last ate! We are going to the doctor next week for her check up and I am going to have to ask what is the minimum number of times she should be eating in a day...probably not a question she gets asked too often.

The Rest of the Story...

Well as Paul Harvey would say, "and now it is time for the rest of the story..." This summer has come to a close, and you may be wondering what else we spent our time doing so here is the recap.

Parky's Farm
We took Linnea to Parky's Farm a few times this summer as she is in love with animals...especially farm animals! Parky's Farm is run by the county park district...they have many animals as you can see...but no cows!

Corn on the Cob!


She has grown up so fast!

Yum - Yum!

Wisconsin Trip

We ventured to Wisconsin to celebrate my Grandpa's 80th birthday in July. It was a great time spent with family and friends. Linnea loved walking all over the place and was always eager to see the cows...she wasn't too sure about facial hair though.

Family Camp

We once again traveled to the far North for a week of fun and relaxation. Linnea was in love with the freedom she was given and walked or ran all over the place...Thanks Mom and Dad for all your chasing! Linnea also loved the sand and water...oh, and I dare not forget Old Jake...well after the first encounter!
We journeyed to Mackinac Island for out day again this year. We knew Linnea would love the horses and there are plenty of places for a pregnant woman to sit and relax. It was a great day with family.

Fun Videos as well!

Gatlinburg Trip

The Last 3.5 Months!

Linnea is almost 16 months.... at her 15 month well check she weighed in at a whooping 19 pounds 10 ounces, so she is under the 10 %ile now. She continues to grow and is now 31 inches, 75-90 %ile. Her doc is not at all concerned with her growth as she continues to eat well and is a very active little girl. She remains sitting backwards in the car; but should be turning around shortly. She is a bundle of fun and excitement.

Baby #2....still deciding on a name, so feel free to give suggestions....is a GIRL! This pregnancy has been as problem free as my last to this point...we pray that continues. Dr. visits are pretty uneventful other than Linnea crying while they get the baby's heart rate. The next visit is the blood glucose test. Hooray for orange pop, just kidding!
