We all hope that those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful time and fulle expect that you ate and drank too much! :o) Now Chritmas can come!!!

Too small!











So her clothes are becoming too small! This outfit was her "coming home" outfit from the hospital and although we don't have a picture of her in it when she came home, believe me when I say it was quite big! And just look at her in it now!!!








Tak uz jej oblecenie zacina byt male! Tento komplet bolo jej oblecenie "na cestu domov" z nemocnice a hoci sme ju neodfotili ked prisla domov, verte mi ked vam poviem ze jej bolo to oblecenie velke! A teraz? Sa pozrite!

First real bath!

Hello everyone! Now that Sofia's belly button is all finished, we started taking real baths!!! She does enjoy warm water, only cries when it's time to wash her hair! we are very happy that she likes water and can't wait to take the baby swimming lessons - if they have them here...

Ahojte vsetci! Tak kedze uz Sofinkin pupok je zahojeny, zacali sme ju kupat! Tepla voda sa jej paci, place len ked je cas na umyvanie vlasov! sme strasne radi ze ma rada vodu a uz sa nevieme dockat ked bju budeme ucit plavat v bazene - ak tu maju tie kurzy...

Finally managed the sling!







Well, I finally figured it out! I just wasn't able to put her in until today! Sofia was super cranky and cried quite a bit and after everything else failed Itried the sling! She calmed down immediately (like magic!) and now is peacefully sleeping in it! Too bad I will have to wake her up for dinner and bath pretty soon!
Tak sa mi konecne podarilo vyzistit "sling" - batoh pre babo. Nedarilo sa mi ju tam poriadne dat az do dnes! Sofia bola umrncana a nespokojna a nic ju nemohlo uspokojit. Tak som to skusila so sling ! Okamzite sa upokojila (ako zazrakom!) a teraz v nej pohodlne spinka! Len skoda ze ju budem musiet coskoro zobudit na veceru a okupanie!!

Topping off at over 9 pounds!
















Sofia is happily gaining weight, eating more and staying up longer! She was over 9 pounds yesterday, will weigh her again tomorrow before her bath (ger belly button is all finished so here comes thereal bath)! Our friend Alice was so kind and lent us her baby scale so I can weigh her as often as I want! She is posing in the pictures after a good meal and also sleeping in a hat and blanket from Judi and Greg - looking fantastic, of course!


Sofia rychlo pribera, papa viacej a aj dlhsie vydrzi hore! Vcear sme ju vazili, uz je vyse 4 kg, zajtra ju zase odvazime pred kupanim (pupok uz ma dokonceny tak ju mozeme naozaj okupat)! Nasa kamaratka Alice bola taka dobra a pozicala nam jej vahu pre babatka tak ju teraz mozem vazit kolko sa mi ziada! Mala je na obrazkoch so mnou po dobrej veceri a taktiez spinka v ciapke a prikryvke od Judi a Grega - a vyzera uzasne!

Cute as a button!

Yet again, she looks different! At least to me! She is growing, will have her weight checked tomorrow (the paranoid mama inside of me needs FREQUENT check ups) :o)
It keeps hitting me how our life has changed and never will be the same as before... it is scary and great at the same time! The fears I have now and the joys, too. She smiles more and more (still only in her sleep but hopefully soon will smile "for real") and makes really funny sounds when sleeping. She also does that baby thing when she stops breathing for a moment (and I do too) and then continues like nothing has happened! very scary and supposedly normal!


Mam pocit ze mala zase vyzera inac! Aspon podla mna! Rastie, zajtra ju ideme zvazit (ja ju casto musim vazit). Stale sa mi vracia myslienka ze nase zivoty sa uplne zmenili a uz nikdy nebudu take ako predtym... je to uzasne a strasne naraz! Tolko novych starosti a radosti! Stale viac sa usmieva (hoci stale len v spanku, hadam coskoro aj "naozaj") a vydava srandovne zvuky ked spi. Taktiez zasto v spanku prestane na chvilku dychat (a ja prestanem tiez) a po chvilke zacne ako by sa nicnedialo! To ma vzdy vystrasi hoci je to podla lekarov uplne normalne !

More photos..

Sofia is changing every day. She is growing fast despite the fact that I feel like she isn't eating enough. She is a gourmet eater, takes her time and eats very slowly. I guess she is getting what she needs since she is packing on the ounces! Her face looks different in the mornings, her litle body is getting plump and chubby! Those skinny long fingers I liked so much? Gone! her hands are now quite chubby! And her feet are geting there too! We love it, of course. She is also getting a lot more vocal, there is definitely more crying! I am really tired these days, she is a handful at night, feeding frequently and then having trouble falling asleep again... Hopefully that will sort itself out in the next few weeks. We will also start bottled breast milk in about 2 weeks so Bobby will be able to take over at least one night feeding and I might get more sleep. Hopefully. :o) Anyway, she is a pleasure and we are having a lot of fun!


Sofia sa meni zo dna na den. Rychlo rastie aj napriek tomu, ze ja mam pocit ze este stale dost neje. Ona si jedlo vychutnava, je pomaly a dava si na cas. Ale hadam dostava dot mlieka, ved pribera jednu uncu za druhou! Kazde rano sa jej tvaricka meni, a jej telicko pribera, ma faldiky na rukach a na nohach! A tie stihle dlhe prsteky? Uz nie su! Teraz su jej ruky celkom pribrate! A uz aj nozicky priberaju! Nam sa to samozrejme velmi paci! Uz sa aj viacej vyjadruje placom, toho je definitivne viacej! Ja som dost unavena, v noci casto krmime a mala ma potom problem znova zaspat... hadam sa to zmeni v priebehu par tyzdnov. Zacneme aj davat mlieko do flasi asi o 2 tyzdne a Bobby bude moct prebrat aspon jedno nocne krmenie a mne sa hadam podari spat viacej. Hadam... :o)

A little angel




She is growing!







Hello everyone!
Sofia is growing like weeds! She topped 8 pounds yesterday and today she was 8 lb 4oz already! She also got 2 more inches on her - 21! She is starting to eat a lot better and occasionally stays up for Mom and Dad to interact with her a little. I am told those episodes will get longer and more frequent in the next couple of weeks and I don't need to tell you that we can't wait! We also can't wait for her to start sleeping for longer stretches at night, Mommy is getting a bit zombie-like at this point.. :o) She is also getting a bit more vocal, the quiet baby is slowly dissapearing, she can definitely excercise those lungs!
Ahojte! Sofia rastie ako z vody! Len vcera dosiahla 8 libier a dnes pribrala dalsie 4 unce (3742 gramov dohromady)! Aj podrastla o dva palce (asi 5cm) a meria vysepol metra! Uz papa lepsie a dokonca aj vydrzi byt hore dost dlho na to aby sme sa s nou mohli trosku pohrat, rozpravame jej a spievame. Uz v naskledovnych dvoch tyzdnoch vraj bude hore dlhsie a castejsie a my sa nevieme dockat! Ja sa tiez neviem dockat ked budespinkat dlhsie v noci, vstavame asi tak kazde 2 hodiny a zo mna sa pomaly stava zombie! :o) Uz zacina aj viacejplakat, nie je taka tichucka a obcas si precvicuje pluca poriadne!

We can't stop taking pictures!

She is starting to smile a little and is absolutely adorable! We call her our sleeping beauty because she just LOVES to sleep! Happy to report that feeding is going better but still, if anybody has any tips for breastfeeding, please let me know! Oh, and some of you might recognize the orange dot outfit from our childhood! That's right,my sisters and I used to wear it!

Mala sa zacina usmievat a vyzera to strasne chutne! Volame ju sipkova ruzenka lebo stale spi! Kojenie uz ide lepsie ale ak mate nejaky tip alebo radu, dajte mi vediet! A niektori z vas asi poznaju tie dupacky s oranzovymi bodkami....

Check out the hair!











After her second bath we dried her hair and it got quite fluffy. We just had to snap pictures!








Po jej druhom okupani sme jej vysusili vlasy uterakom a zostali jej stat! To sme museli odfotit!
