My heart is exploding with happiness, so I couldn’t wait to share the news with you that Alex and Mauricio’s baby girl, Sofia, was born early this morning! My daughter just had a daughter. I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head (and heart) around it all.
Alex did great, and so did Mauricio. We arrived in Dallas and got to see them in the hospital just as Alex was transitioning from latent to active labor, and it was so wonderful to see how much they love and support each other. Mauricio attended to Alex’s every need, to the point that the rest of us questioned if we even needed to be there. 😂 What a gift to Ladd and me, for Alex to have a partner in life who demonstrates his love through such clear action.
Sofia was born around 2:30 in the morning, and she is perfect. I’m saying that with as much objectivity as I can. But I’m not kidding…she is perfect. Like, if you looked up “perfect” in Miriam Webster, it would reference Sofia Scott, and maybe even show a photo of her. Although that would probably technically be an encyclopedia. Anyway, here are some early photos—and there will be many more to come. I want Alex’s internet aunts and uncles, who have watched her grow up on my blog and cooking show, to be able to celebrate the best day of her life…and certainly my and Ladd’s life…
