Here she is!!











Just a quick post for now...excuse the typos!! We received Sophia after a long, hot wait at civil affairs. She is doing great and is fast asleep. She has shown us to be both very happy and also very sad. She is a real show boat and blows kisses, makes faces and loves to tease! However when she is upset, WOW!! She is very strong willed!! She is very small, smaller than most of the other babies and is a little older. There are a few like her who will be petite I believe like Miss Mahoney!! She too is cute and very small but both girls, like them all are healthy!! Sophia will not drink yet and has eaten very little but hopefully this will pass. She is just trying to exert a little control! Jenna better watch out because she is going to get a run for her money, lol!! The pictures are of the before, during and after...Enjoy!! Will post later Internet is very slow so I posted what I could and didn't arrange them well!

Hey there!

It's me again! Mom wanted me to write a little note from her and Dad. They are so happy for you guys. And Mom wanted to say that she loved the little "yellow" outfit on her. Mom is really excited and just wanted you to know they are thinking about you!
