Expressions

Sophia has so many different facial expressions, but this one is my favorite... I call it her Zoolander look. She held this expression for so long I was able to go grab my camera and take several pictures before she stopped. It gets a good chuckle out of me every time!

Sophia Jo Sorenson

She's here! Finally. :) She was born on July 1st at 10:16. She weighed 8lbs 5oz and was 21.5 inches long. She was much bigger than I expected, but I should have known because I was almost 9 pounds and Rich was 11 pounds when he was born! Anyway, I was in labor for a little over 10 hours.

She was very alert when she was born. She had her eyes open and was looking around at everything. It was such a special time! The feeling of responsibility I had when they handed her to me was incredible and scary, but mostly really special.


Rich was there holding my hand through the whole event. My mom was there too, and was a huge help. I'm sad we didn't get any pictures with her. :(


I don't think I've ever been so happy to be finished with something in my life! It was exhausting and my doctor told me "now you know why they call it labor"! Boy, is that true!


After Sophia was born, I just wanted to have everyone come and see her! We were really happy to have family and friends come visit. I only got a few pictures, but this is Rich's brother, Pete, holding her.
Here she is with her oldest cousin, Emily.

When we took her home, the real adventure started. She has so many funny facial expressions. I spend a lot of time just watching her and laughing at the little things she does.

This is what our nights consist of now. We just stare at her. :)

These pictures make me happy.

HAHA!
She's been in our lives for a little over 2 weeks but it feels like much longer! She had her 2 week appointment Friday and she's now in the 69% for height, 66% for weight, and 75% for head circumference.
