8 weeks.

Sophia is getting more and more active and alert every day. Amanda has been doing a great job with her and I am glad that I am able to work and provide for my family so that she gets to stay home with our daughter. Amanda has mentioned that she is starting to get a little stir crazy though so we need to find more occasions to get out of the house. We have been able to go to my parents a couple of times and snuck off to her parents a couple of times also. Amanda is getting a little more comfortable having Sophia out and about but she still has anxiety about the baby being "passed around like she is a bomb." I understand her dilema and try to heed off what I can when I can.

Amanda brought up to me that I need to hold her more accountable to how she might be interacting with me. Occasionaly she gets upset with me and I just stand there and take what she has to say. Afterwards she reflects on this and feels bad about it. I can't bring myself to argue or raise my voice against her. She has some basis for how she is feeling I need to let her get it out every once in a while.

We are going in for Sophias two month well baby appointment this wednesday and get to hear some more official word about her gains and what we can expect in the upcoming weeks.

Farming has taken a turn for the worse around here. The tobacco crop got blown around from heavy rains and high winds. We haven't been able to get in a crew of amigos yet. Grandpa says he is done after this year and dad seems to be in step with him. We may have a great year for the corn and soybeans but tobacco is what makes our farms down here profitable. I think I may have an in with a school down in florida so I need to pursue teaching and a career there if it is a possibility.
