Sophia's Baptism
Sophia was baptized last Saturday. Mom, Dad, my sister Rochelle and her daughter Jasmine drove down from the Northeast to visit and be in attendance. Rochelle sponsored Sophia as her godmother, while my dad stood in for my cousin Jeff (who could not attend) as godfather. Upon seeing the priest prior to the service, Sophia cried. But she quickly got over it and did very well throughout the ceremony! Click the image above for the photo set.

20 to 22 weeks
Click the image above for the latest photos of Sophia. Pretty girl saw the doctor this past week, measured at 25.75 inches long, weighed in at 17 lbs 8.5 oz, and had her second round of shots. I know I said this before, but I hope to have some overdue video clips sometime soon.
17 to 19 weeks
Hello all! Hope life is treating you well (despite the cluster that currently exists in the real world). Here’s something that I’m sure will bring a smile to your face … the latest photos of our little girl Sophia. She is doing well, “talking” and responding and giggling a little more every day. Click on the photo to see the latest set; if you’ve missed any of the previous sets, you can check out her collection.
13 to 16 weeks
I’ve uploaded photos from the last 3 weeks to Flickr. You can click on the image to view the photo set there, or you can click here to view the same photo set directly on my blog.
10 to 13 weeks

7 to 9 weeks
Again, I’m sorry for the lack of updates. Sophia’s 10 and a half weeks old now, and she weighs 14 lbs 2 oz and is 23.5 in long. At her 2 month checkup this week, she received her first set of shots. Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy cried along with Sophia as the nurse stuck our little girl. Sophia’s doing fine and sleeping better at night. She looks at everything with interest, recognizes voices, and is smiling more often now. She coos and tells us wonderful stories. With Christine going back to work in less than 2 weeks, Sophia will be going to day care soon. Click the photo above for the latest of Sophia. I reorganized her pics on Flickr into various photo sets so people won’t have to sift through the ones they’ve already seen. But if you want to see all her pictures again, you can certainly do so by checking out her entire collection on Flickr.
Sophia – 5 to 6 weeks
Sorry for the lack of updates. Just been very busy taking care of Lil Bit. Click on the photo above for some recent pictures of Sophia. I’ll try to update more in the coming weeks.

update 062708
Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’m sure you all understand. Sophia’s 25 days old, and she’s running the show. She develops a pattern, then she breaks it. As any baby can be, she’s completely unpredictable. Being a new dad, I’m adjusting to all of this as best I can. I’m used to routines and schedules. There really is no such thing as a routine with a baby. I knew all this going in, having read the books and hearing the stories from people who’ve “been there, done that”. However, it’s easier knowing it than actually doing it.
Per the doctor’s office, we switched formulas last Saturday to help ease Sophia’s tummy aches. She’s doing much better, not needing to burp as much, but she has been spitting up more. Not that it all comes back up; it just stinks and it’s messy. For Christine, every day is “pajama day”. That makes a lot of sense as I have changed shirts multiple times this week.
She has somewhat improved in the “sleeping at night” department. The trick is getting her to finish a bottle in a timely manner. Doesn’t always happen. And when she falls asleep in your arms after feeding, she usually wakes up after you put her in bed. We’re still trying to figure this out, but we’ll get there (at least, I hope we do).
I’ve uploaded a batch of photos to Sophia’s Flickr set. Click on the photo above, or just go to my Flickr page.

Sophia update 061608
My baby’s two weeks old today 
10 days old
Sophia is doing well. She had her first doctor visit yesterday afternoon. Her official weight is 8 lbs, 2 oz (although her mother and I don’t agree with it since her follow-up at the hospital 2 days prior weighed her at 7 lbs, 9 oz). She eats roughly every 2 to 3 hours (I now refer to it as “feeding-on-demand”). Sophia does not like it when we lay her down on the changing table to change her diaper, change her clothes, or put lotion on; it seems baby doesn’t like to be naked, and she lets everyone know it. Christine gets up with her roughly 2 to 3 times each night; some nights are better than others. I initially started out staying up with her, but after this week’s work in the yard with my folks, I’ve been dog-tired. Christine tries to get her naps when she can. All in all, mom and baby are doing fine.
more pics of Sophia
If you don’t happen to follow my Twitter feed (located in the right hand column under the heading “what am I doing?”), and you’re looking for newer photos of Sophia, keep an eye on her photoset on Flickr. I’ll be adding pics daily as time allows. Also, don’t forget to check out her pictures taken by the professional here at the hospital!

Sophia Rose
At 1204 on June 2, 2008, Sophia Rose was born. Weight at 7 lbs, 13 oz, and 20 inches long. She’s so precious and beautiful. I couldn’t tell you all the wonderful emotions that hit me throughout the day. Both Christine and Sophia are doing fine. Of course, I had great difficulty uploading pictures to Flickr (since my department blocks this site for our employees), not to mention my camera is malfunctioning. So in the 9 o’clock hour, as tired as I am, I finally have them posted. Click on Sophia’s picture above to see the set. I’ll post more when I can.
