I finally had a chance to visit Sofia (and Ingmar & Emily of course) today. She is absolutely adorable. Today marked the first time I have ever held a baby for a long time. Being an only child, I’ve never really had an opportunity to hold a younger sibling. The fact that I did not get to see my cousins that much and that I was too young to hold them didn’t help much either. Prior to today, my most extensive experience with holding a baby (or rather, a doll) was probably from a home care class in elementary school! I’ve always been hesitant to handle a baby for fear of breaking them, but Sofia was irresistible! It amazed me how much I enjoyed holding little Sofia and watched her sleep while I gently rocked her in my arms. I was completely mesmerized by her… I can’t even begin to describe the feeling… The photos are up in the gallery. They make such a sweet and cute family! :-D
