We are back!

It's been too long since my last post. So much has happened, and Sophia is pretty much grown! I have deleted my facebook, and will blog on a regular basis now. My goal is to post on here at least once a week. I hope to keep up with it so that one day Sophia can go back and read all about her growth and milestones and how much we love her.

Sophia turned 4 months on September 12th. She actually rolled over for the first time two days ago. She rolled from her belly to her back during the night. I happened to be awake so I was able to witness the adorable experience. She is making all kinds of noises (talking all the time), and smiling non-stop. She hasn't quite giggled yet, but she is so close! I cannot wait for that sweet sound.

She went through a colicky spell that started about a month ago, but is getting over that. She has still been spitting up a lot which causes her to be fussy and not be able to sleep very well at times...so she is on her fourth kind of formula, which she just started last night. We will give it about 2 weeks to see if it makes a difference. She was on the most expensive kind, for colic, but it wasn't helping with spitting up at all, so we switched her to Similac Sensitive Tummy for Spit-Up. We pray that this new brand/kind makes a difference. On a positive note, Sophia did start sleeping through the night at 4 months. She has been sleeping from 10pm-7am on average. She may wake up once during the night and get a little fussy because her tummy bothers her, but normally giving her the pacifier puts her back to sleep.

In other news Tim, Sophia, and I have been in Texas since September 9th. Tim was sent to ALC (military training) in San Angelo, TX. This training will last for 7 weeks so we figured we should all travel to Texas so that Sophia and I could spend time with family. I actually left Texarkana yesterday and drove to San Angelo to surprise Tim. He was totally shocked! I will stay for about a week. Sophia is with her Nana Dee (Tim's mom), and i know they are having fun. I miss her so much, but I try not to worry too much because I know she is in great hands. It's tough being away. I'm torn between Sophia and Tim, so i'm trying to do my best at being a good mom and wife. It's hard when they are in two different places, but we are making it.

It's getting late here in San Angelo, so I will leave you all with a few recent pictures of our angel.
