Baby Sophia Tyne

I can't believe that I've fallen so far behind with this blog. So much has happened since I last posted that I don't even know where to start. We had Thanksgiving at my parents house in Idaho, which was a total blast, then we had Christmas here in Washington, my first away from home, and then the biggest event has been the birth of our sweet little girl Sophia Tyne. Sophers, as Olivia calls her, was born January 10th and weighed 8 lbs 1 oz. The entire birth went off without a hitch, in fact the whole day was pretty relaxing. Let's just say I'm a big fan of the epidural...when it's done right (I had a terrible experience with it when I had Olivia). My parents came for a month to help with the baby and Olivia and it really was the greatest blessing. They did so much to make our lives easier, like getting up in the night with the baby and cooking all our meals, I'm still going through withdrawals since they left. It's been a big adjustment going from one to two, but we are getting there. We are still trying to teach Olivia what being gentle really means, she's like a bull in a china closet, but she's working on it and she absolutely loves Sophia. We truly are so blessed to have two beautiful daughters and even though being a Mom isn't the easiest thing I am really thankful for the experience. I promised my Mom a bunch of pictures of the baby so here it goes.
