Sophie had a very big week. She's dealing surprisingly well with Mamma going back to work at the moment. (It's a bit harder for mamma, but I'm slowly getting used to it).
Some good newses this week...
Sophie's a real live American citizen now...for better or for worse! (naw, just kidding - we're really happy for her!) On Thursday we had an exciting excursion into the city. Sophie took the train for the first time, she loved staring at all the people. and by the end of the trip she was singing away loudly to all of them. Made plenty of people smile, which is always fun.
We went into the city to have a very important appointment with the visiting American Embassy people, which lasted about 5 minutes. But they were a very important 5 minutes, which allow to be officially a dual citizen, and the owner of her very own American passport! yay!

The other great news is that Sophie's weight gain is fantastic again. She gained 700 grams in less than 2 weeks. That means she's finally broken the 6 kilo mark (we celebrated with a bottle of bubbly!), and she's back at the 10th percentile - which is where she was at birth, so right where she should be. The Zantac and all the solids she's eating are making a big difference! She's a healthy happy babe.
Oh, the week I had to go back to work, guess who decided she wasn't taking a bottle anymore. yeah. great. now it's just a toy and she won't take anything from it at all - not EBM or formula or water...but she is fascinated with the cup. so we are teaching her to use a cup now. It is unbelievably messy and but she gets at least as much into her tummy as she does all over the rest of her, so it's a good start.
