new things

every time my dad, my mom, john's mom or dad, or anyone close to us that goes about 4 or 5 days without seeing sophia says 'wow! she has changed so much!'

i tend to not see the little changes that happen every day as sophia grows

i can tell she is growing as she grows out of diapers and clothes, but not the little inches

but i do notice when she does new things

for instance, earlier this week i was folding laundry on the couch with her next to me on her activity mat

well i looked at her at one point to interact with her and she was on her side...crazy

then she has decided that it is fun to grab anything and everything that her little hands get near

she grabs any toy that is within her line of vision

she grabs my shirt every time she nurses and stretches it as far as she can and lets go (as if it will snap me :) )

she grabs her toys when i change her diaper

she grabs her pacifier every time it goes in her mouth...which can be problematic when she then pulls it out

she grabs hair and john's beard (which he tells me does not feel very good)

it is a lot of fun to see these things happen, especially as she becomes more interactive...which is SOOO much fun

needless to say, with each new thing she does, i fall deeper in love with her
