Sophie is 3 Months old!

Sophie turned 3 months old today. She does a great job of holding her head up and this week she started grabbing for toys. She is a happy baby now that we have figured out her acid reflux. She loves to watch ceiling fans and the lights and music on her bouncer seat.

Quack, Quack, Quack

There is a park two blocks from our apartment and it has canadian geese and ducks. On Sunday, we went to the park to feed them. The geese and ducks are not aggresive, but you do have to watch out for their droppings. :)

Lillie wrote her name today!

Today, at playgroup Lillie wrote her name without any help. I was talking to the other Moms when Lillie said "I wrote my name." I turned around and saw her accomplishment. I have been trying to help her with a smaller pencil, but today she wrote her name with a thick piece of chalk.

Giraffes

Tuesday, we went to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, MI. The highlight of the day was feeding the Giraffes leaf lettuce and biscuits. There is a video of Lillie feeding the Giraffes on the "Lillie and Sophie" page. We have settled into temporary housing until we close on our house in June. We found a house in Galesburg, Michigan, which is halfway between Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. The house is on a large lot with a lot of trees.

Prior to moving into our tempory housing, we stayed at a Holiday Inn. Lillie loved to stay there, because they had a pool. During our stays Brian taught Lillie how to swim. She can doggie paddle (with her arm floaties) from the stairs to Brian 6 feet away.

Sophie has outgrown all of her 0-3 month clothes. She is growing a lot faster than Lillie. She is also a better sleeper than Lillie, especially when she has very little acid reflux.
