Holy smokes! The month of October is almost up and I haven’t blogged a thing.  Our cycle of out-of-town visitors is almost complete.  We started with Antonella’s parents for three plus weeks, followed by my parents for four days (with a 2-week respite between).  Then Amanda for a week-and-a-half and then Steve will be here for a couple days.

I started my new job (virtually the same as my old one) this past Monday.  Everything is going well.

Sophia is doing fabulous.  She has been smiling and giggling a bunch lately.  She is really a happy baby, and is a lot of fun.  Last weigh-in, almost a month ago, she was just shy of 8 pounds.  Her next weigh-in is next week, and I’ll be sure to post it.  I also added six new photos to the photos page.
