Major Bedhead

Here's Abbie with a new "do" that Nana invented. She gave Abbie a bath on Tuesday night and gave her the look of a punk rocker, a rooster, Tweety Bird or as Matt dubbed her "Major Bedhead" who is a character on one of the T.V. shows that Sophie occasionally watches. Well, anyway, Abbie's still a cutie and her hairstyle has been cracking me up! You think she might could make it on American Idol one day with this look (in a different outfit)?

Abbie is 6 weeks old now and this past Friday she turned over for the 1st time from her stomach to her back. Sophie & I cheered her on. We did kind of prop her up on her forearms to help her out a little bit.

We haven't really taken many pictures this week or done anything too exciting but I thought I'd give an update on some of Sophie's latest feats. Each day, Sophie is coming out with more and more new words and it's really exciting. This past week she said "special" and repeated Paula and said "bless you" which was just too adorable. Sophie also got her hair trimmed a few days ago. For the first time, she sat up in the special seat independently. Paula could not believe how well Sophie did because every other time, she's had to sit in her Mommy's lap. What a big girl! Of course, Paula didn't have the camera this time.

We are also trying to get rid of Sophie's pacifier and it is not fun! So far, we are all surviving (after 1 day without the pacifier). (Actually, we cut the tip off of a couple of her pacifiers because we had heard that the child will not want it anymore and that's definitely true! ) We hid all of the "normal" pacifiers.

We'll try to take some pictures soon and post them on here.
