The worst game ever

"College sumo wrestlers hold toddlers Rion Yuine, left, and Seira Aoki during a contest known as Crying Sumo on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan.

Babies face each other and are coaxed to cry. The first to bawl is declared the winner. The ritual is a wish for the good health of the children, as crying reputedly is beneficial for babies."
-CNN Online

As a new mom, where the name of the game is 'responding to and stopping the crying,' this seems like the most bizarre thing ever. Encouragement to our friends with colicky children though - your babies are in the best of health! :)

Me Church

This video clip has been bringing chuckles to the staff at church this week. :)

In other news, Sophia went to the pediatrician for her one month check-up. Current weight and height? 8 lb. 2 oz and 20 3/4 in. long! (She was 6lb. 3 oz. at 2 weeks, and this was at 5 weeks. Holy smokes!) Her head circumference is only in the 5th percentile - the doctor smiled and said that was really a hereditary thing. We smiled and looked at Josh's little noggin. Yay for little noggins!

Look how she's growing!

It's hard to believe how much this little sweetpea is changing everyday. These two pictures were taken just a few weeks apart - you can see the difference! We find that our nicknames for her keep changing too- she was 'peanut' and 'little nut' for the first few weeks, but 'sweetpea' and 'little love' seem to be the new ones.

So the blogging has been a little sparse, but what can I say - it's a good day when I'm actually showered and out of my p.j's by the time Josh gets home. :D Keep checking the photo site though - Josh puts new pictures on all the time!
