We’ve moved into the new house, and though things are a bit chaotic, Sophia’s doing well…
…except for being sick for the first time in her short little life. She’s got some kind of virus, causing fevers, runny nose, and lots of #2s in the diaper. On the plus side, she’s also getting a decent amount of sleep for the first time in her short little life.
Sophia now spends three days a week with cousins Carter and Natalie, Mom, Elizabeth, and myself taking turns watching them. It’s getting a little easier to watch all three at once (the first time I did it, I called it the hardest work of my life). Sophia and Carter play very well together. They even know each other’s names. Carter calls Sophie “Soapy,” or sometimes “So-he.” He also thinks she’s very funny, so I frequently hear, “Soapy funny!”
Carter, of course, is “Car-Car,” and Sophia picked that up about a week ago. Though sometimes it’s, “carcarcarcarcarcarcarcarcar” until she feels like stopping. She’s also learned “baby” and can point babies out now. Elizabeth called two days ago to inform us that Sophia learned the sign for “more.”
I think it’s a really good thing that all three are getting to grow up spending so much time together. It’s too bad cousin Joel doesn’t live just a little closer! We’ll need to arrange more times to hang with Joel so he doesn’t end up the weird cousin or something. (Or maybe the only normal one).
We’re getting the ducts cleaned here tomorrow, just to make sure Sophia doesn’t get sick because of bad air. Her nursery was the first thing we set up when we moved in, and it’s great. I’ll try to get some pictures of the new house up as soon as we’re semi-organized.
Sophia is being baptized this weekend (along with Carter and Natalie). I know that’s a bit of a shock for our Baptist friends and family, and if someday you have about 7 and a half hours to just sit and listen to me ramble, I’d be glad to explain the 2 year study that led me to the conclusion that infant baptism is biblical. Actually, I did blog through the issue during part of the study, so you could read my many reasons in the following posts:

Pondering Paedobaptism: What Did the Apostles Learn from Jesus?

We’re celebrating the baptisms with friends and family afterwards. I’ll post pictures of the baptism and the after-event.
