Cuddles, Chaos and Christmas all in week 1!

So sorry no crazy posts lately - life here is somewhat crazy as miss sophia still has her days and nights mixed up - we are on day 7 of up from 11:30 ish to 5:00ish each night - I truly thought we'd be on a routine already - how naive - what there is not a magic mommy wand that you just wave and voila a routine - ahhhhhh us first time moms really do have messed up view of reality huh? Oh yesand the days of shopping for christmas and sophia and I would go out everyday and get a little done - - yeah right huh? LOL

Really things are great - sophia is doing wonderfully and she has truly bonded to us. Me the most but is really coming along to Daddy - especiallysince daddy has had to be up with her a few nights to give mommy a break :) SHe laughs, cries, screams VERY LOUD, says momma/dadda, sings and talks in her own little language, waves, gives high fives, crazwls all over and took her walked 5 steps unassisted yesterday!!!!! I think by christmas we will have a walker - watch out!

She has discovered the pug - oh yes poor mr winston already has his world rocked as this little lady is not going away like the others ususally do and he cannot get all of his sleep in :) Gotta say I'm with the pug on this one - we are allll sleep deprived.

Those who know me - I'm never up early - well Showers have become such a luxury that I woke upat 5:30 this AM showered, took the dog out, packed the diaper bag for our first outing to themall today, fed the dog, had a cup of tea, did a load of laundry, a pot of coffee and it's only 7:40, Amazing - Whew time for nap and miss sophia will be up any minute!!! And then the day really starts! LOL

We have the most wonderful friends and family who have taken care of us - gone grocery shopping, made us meals, brought us dinners, came to visit, cards, flowers, calls - we love you all so much and could not have survived this first week without you!

Well we're doing great and hoping to get a in a routine soon, we are all so very sleep deprvied - although sophia ia 1 she is like a newborn in the respect that she is experiencing all of these things for the first time - she has new foods, cars, car seats, new stroller, new toys, new crib - new clothes (that actually fit), barrettes, a dog, crazy parents, people smoothering her with kisses, visitors,m gifts, decorations, chrsitmas tree, you name it. It's all so very cool to see her discover everything, it has been great to waatch her take it all in!!!

Here are some pics for all of you :) fI'm so sorry to all my blogger and email friends - I totally promise next week I'll be back in full force to keep up with all of your jouney's in the meantime - email me privately and I'll send you my phone number if you want to chat :)

Love to all - -
