The latest with SJ

The other day I was looking at my baby girl and thinking "What happened to my newborn!? I thought you were supposed to be a helpless little lump wrapped up in a blanket whose biggest daily achievement was opening your eyes for a few moments a day!" then she looks back at me as if to say "Oh mom, that was so 4 months ago."

I went ahead and did an official portrait session last week. I am trying my best to keep up with the pace I set with the first born.
It started with some photos of her sitting up, but that wasn't working too well.

So I laid her down

and she fell asleep,

but when she woke up

she was ready to turn on the charm.

Besides hitting a major growth spurt in the past month she is also laughing now and sleeping for 9 hours straight at night. Her latest quirk is grabbing things to suck on. I already shared about the thumb and if she is wearing a dress or shirt you will most likely find her lifting it up and putting it in her mouth like this-

I know this is an age where they explore a lot with their mouths, but I wouldn't be surprised if she is already teething too. Teeth seem to come early in our family. It's just genetic and Z was the same way.

That's the latest with SJ. She's a keeper.
