Sophie's Second Leap

Good morning (?) from our household. I've been up for so long it feels as though it should be late afternoon already. Sophie is in "leap 2" of development which means that she's more fussy, less sleepy and hungrier than usual. So pretty excited for this to be behind us soon. 

I'm feeling a little better and more confident about being a mom and taking care of her and taking her on short small outings, which is nice, because previously I would sit home in fear when I was left alone with her, even for the smallest event. Progress!

Previous to all this though, we'd had such a happy baby, including when she turned 2 months on January 8!

You can't really see it in the photo, 
but this onesie really brought out her
dark blue eyes!

Sorry in advance for the
nightmares you'll get from
this face swap!

I mean we never doubted she was AJ's child but
sometimes it shows through a lot!

Then the leap came and the fussiness grew and our days looked more like this LOL

If you're thinking, why does she look
so upset? There's a 99.9% chance that
I was reading through Twitter at the 
devastation ravaging our country in
the form of an insurrection that some
clowns still don't want to impeach for.
Sorry baby girl, mama's trying to make
it a better world for you despite this
nonsense...

We had to make an outing to South Coast Plaza, which we did quickly and safely, and realized it was her first time in public and where is she other than Tiffany's!

And then there was a pretty devastating Steeler's playoff game to close up their season. Papa was upset but at least Sophie looked cute! 

Khaleesi enjoys the baby toys too...

It's not all bad tidings though, Sophie is growing and achieving more! Like discovering her hands and holding her neck up...

And that's all I have time for now!
