Nanny: That sure is a lot of candy for a baby.
Henry: That’s ok. It’s soft.

How did 3 months pass already? Sofie is becoming more and more aware of her surroundings and toys each day. She’s talking so much more these days too. It’s absolutely adorable. Even when she clenches her fists, widens her eyes, furrows her brows and grunts like she’s frustrated and mad. I’m sure that won’t be as cute when she’s older, but for now it makes Steve and I crack up.
Sofie loves to stand up and show off how strong her legs are. We think she might just skip right over that whole crawling thing. We’ll see about that soon enough. She also is gripping and hanging on to so many of her toys lately. It makes for great hand holding time, or finger holding time in Sofie’s case.
Sofie has had some new tricks up her sleeve that I wanted to get down on “paper”. On my birthday she started holding on to her left foot for the first time. This was when she started holding on to her toys more too. Then on the 31st she giggled for the first time in response to me jiggling her arms and making her shake a little before kissing her face. Right after that Steve gave her a big smile and she giggled at him too while she buried her face in my chest. It was like a little game between them. Made my heart swoon! Next came a biggie: On Jan 2nd, our little Sofie rolled from her front to her back!! She did it once, no problem. I got my camera and we set her up to do it again. She fussed and cried through the whole thing, but she did it again for the camera! Even grandma and grandpa got to see her roll over for the first time. It was pretty amazing.
Around the same time as all these firsts Sofie started taking a pacifier pretty regularly. It’s opened up a whole new avenue for her comfort. She still chews her hands, my hands, Steve’s hands, blankets and pretty much anything that feels like a blanket, but she keeps the pacifier in her mouth the longest and can actually fall asleep with it like a real baby.
