Just a couple more pictures

Here is Sydney smiling - once again!

Here is Sydney's "just hanging out" face.

Rolling Over

She is about half way to rolling over. She gets on her side well but needs that extra "oomph" to get all the way over. I'm sure she'll have in down in a few weeks. She does move around well on her side, when I put her in the crib to sleep within a few minutes she has turned herself 180°. It's very funny to watch.

She's almost driving!

Here is Sydney playing in a car/excersaucer type thing - I know this isn't the greatest picture but it works for the blog. She can basically touch the floor (on level 1). She is very good at pushing herself back in it - until she hits a wall anyway! I do add the towel for a little extra stability. She puts her hands on the red steering wheel and she actually looks like she's driving - scary I know!

Smiling Sydney

Sydney smiles so much these days. Even when she fussing she'll break out into a smile - she really loses all her creditability when she pulls that one. She is also becoming so tall. Matt and I are pretty average people so I don't know where she is getting it from. I am anxious to see her height & weight at her 4 month appt in a couple weeks. By the way this picture really doesn't do her justice - because when she does smile, it'll melt your heart just like it does mine. I think I'll keep her! : )

Pals

Here is Dixie & Sydney. This is as close as Dixie will get- that is until Sydney starts eating solid food then Dixie will want to be her best friend.

Does she look like me?

Here is a set of pictures - you can judge for yourselves. Does she look like me? The picture in the upper left corner is of me and my brother. I was 3 months in that picture. Sydney just turned 3 months yesterday. I tried to get pictures of her with the same facial expression as me in the picture! Let me know what you think!

Some New Pictures!

I finally caught Sydney smiling in a picture. I swear it is so hard to get her to smile when she can see the camera!

This was taken right after her evening bath given by the goofy guy in the picture!! She's wearing a hooded towel that is a pig. It's even got a curly tail on the backside.

Here is a picture of Sydney in her new pjs.

Finally, here is a picture of us. She definitely isn't liking the camera at this moment!

Off to prepare for our first storm of the season - Ernesto. And no worries - we'll be just fine.

Look at this cute baby!!

Here's a picture we took this past weekend. The outfit is a denim with the pink flowers at the top - one of my favorites (so I'm sure you will see more pics of her in it)!! Girls clothes are so cute and irresistible - you should see her closet these days! We all have been doing great. She has had some trouble taking good naps during the past couple days but she still is sleeping absolutely great at night - so I'll take it. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for all the nice comments in the posts and emails.

Just the Two of Us

Here's the two of us. Just playing together. Sydney is doing really well. She is consistently sleeping for longer periods at night (anywhere from 5-6 hrs). Last night she went for 6 1/2 hours - which is great - even though I have to admit she has never had a night where she has kept us up crying or anything - we have been so blessed with that!

Funny Face

Here is one of many funny faces that Sydney makes. She doesn't like the camera. As soon as I point the camera at her all the smiles go away and the funny faces begin. Which is very problematic for me as a scrapbooker and problematic for her too since I try to take pictures of her at least twice a day.

I hopefully just made it so that anyone can post comments without signing up to be a member. Some other changes will be coming too.

Who's the sucker here?

I can't even tell you how many pictures I have just like this. I don't know who enjoys it more - Matt or Sydney? Matt likes it because he gets to take a nap and 'watch' the baby at the same time. Now Sydney - well, let's just say she is one smart baby. Sure she sleeps just fine in her bed but I think she likes to pull this stunt because she butters up her dad. She's making investments for the future (asking for $, a car, etc). She is already starting to wrap him around her tiny little fingers - oops did I type "already starting"? Yeah, that should be she HAS him wrapped...

Sydney is 2 months!

Sydney went to the doctor today. It was her 2 month appt. She weighed 12 lbs 6 oz and was exactly 2 feet long. I can't believe how fast she is growing. My biceps are getting a workout everytime I pick her up!

Our Family

I finally succumbed to peer pressure. All my friends were doing it!. A blog is probably the easiest to share the ongoing happenings of us along with pictures of Sydney. So let's begin with just a quick picture of our first family portrait (taken when Sydney was just 3 weeks old).
