Christmas Eve

So both Stephen and I have now been told off by several friends and members of our families for not having posted on here for a while... Life has just been so hectic!

My parents have now gone home; it was lovely to have them here. They just about got caught in the fog that descended upon us trapping many would-be voyagers in England, but decided at the last moment that the flights looked less crowded Tuesday... what fortune as they might not have got out if they had waited another day! Sophie really enjoyed having her grandparents here and bestowed many smiles and coos upon them. They also brought many gifts with them from family and friends in Canada; Sophie was spoiled rotten and will be the best-dressed baby around!

The health visitor came Thursday to weigh Sophie... She was 9lb 4oz! She had put on 11oz since last Friday (she then weighed 8lb 9oz - an improvement of 8oz over the week before, and measured 52 1/2 cm - having grown 1 1/2 cm from the week before!). The health visitor is obviously pleased with her growth as babies typically put on between 4-7 oz a week... I think our Sophie takes after her mother in her love of eating!

Here are some pictures of Sophie taken in the last week... We will take more tomorrow and attempt to get them posted much faster this time!
