Giggles, Wiggles, Pinches, and Squeals


Sophia is eleven weeks old today.  This morning after changing her diaper, I talked and she answered with her normal smile and coos.  Then, she giggled.  An honest-to-goodness giggle.  Not one or two little noises, but a full-out giggle.  Can't wait to hear it again! 
In other exciting developmental news, Sophia now pinches at things -- fun but painful if you're not ready for it.  My watch has been the prime target lately.  She's also squealing and "talking" much more regularly.  She still loves going outside -- we spend a lot of time playing in the shade and hanging out laundry.  
And the final sign that Sophia is growing up: she now hates being swaddled.  She used to sleep so contentedly while looking like our little burrito.  Some days she would manage to unswaddle herself, but then one morning I awoke to this:   
Not only had she un-swaddled herself, she'd turned 90 degrees in the process.  Must have been hard work to get out of that swaddle!  And ever since then, the swaddle has guaranteed a scream. Now she sleeps like this:

(Cloth diapers = kooshy butt.  Love it.)  

And a Father's Day photo, because we love Daddy.
