Big Girl! (2 month update...alittle late)

I promise I am working on getting a bunch of updates, but I had to post this video with alittle update of Sophia! She had her 2 month check up at the end of May. She was 10lbs 13oz and still just about 21 1/2 inches long. They said everything looked great and she is in the 25% for everything. At the time she was smiling but not nearly as much as she is now! And I would barely get the smiles! She would be so serious for me! We did get an appointment with the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) clinic to get her tongue looked at. She is tongue tied. If you don't know what that is, here is a quick explanation, the flap of skin under your tongue that you use to move it is connected in the middle on a normal person, but hers is connected all the way at the tip which makes it harder for her to stick her tongue out and we have noticed a lot more lately it is hard for her to suck, it can also cause speech problems later on. Going to the ENT will let us snip it a little so it is easier for her. Keegan had this same problem, but his was thin enough and when he was about 1 1/2 months, he cried and it snapped on it's own. Other than her tongue she is GREAT!!! She is talking more and more each day and we are getting so many big smiles!! Her little personality is coming out everyday. She seems very strong willed and definately will let us know when things aren't going her way!!!

What a cutie! Just thinking of getting my tongue snipped makes me cringe! Hope it doesn't hurt!

She is beautiful! I love hearing Keegan try to make her laugh. Isn't it so funny how hard the big brothers try:) I hope everything with her tongue goes smoothly. I can't wait to see more smiles!
