Our Little Bundle of Joy

It has been a very very long time since I last blogged, but life keeps our family busy and I barely have time to download pictures to the computer! And of course it's time consuming posting pictures on facebook and on the blog. But so much has happened since I last wrote and many friends that read our blog have been wanting to see pictures of little Sophia, so here goes!!

I was induced on my due date the 10th of February and Sophia finally graced us with her presence at 4:16pm. We all had a really early start to the day considering we had to be at the hospital by 6am. All attempts to keep the kids in bed until their regular time to get up failed so by the time they came to the hospital that evening to meet their sister, they were exhausted.
Chloe had been waiting 9 months for this day, so she was over the moon to finally hold her baby sister. she kept saying "She likes me, she likes me."

Grandma and Daddy were there to welcome her!
The only way I will ever be able to tell this picture of Sophia and a very similar shot of Chloe at birth apart is that Chloe's hospital hat got tied in a bow at the front, other than that they look identical, but only in this picture.

Her full name is Sophia Mary and she weighed 8lbs and 3oz and was 20 inches long. The biggest of her two siblings! Not only is she the biggest but she has a thick mop of dark hair with the most perfect blonde highlights. Unfortunately the photos don't show how fun her hair colour looks!


You can kinda see the highlights here!
Here she is two weeks old and of course is getting lots of loves from Chloe!
Sophia at one week old.
She loves to sleep on her boppy!
