Sydney is 4 (months) already!!

Oh wow - our Princess Peach is 4-months old today. My, how time does fly! We love our little girl and she brings so much joy to our lives.

As Kelley says, "This is classic Sydney!"



These days Sydney:

coos & talks

prefers to stand rather than sit

likes to be held facing outward so she can be social

screams bloody murder when she wants/needs something

grabs things

sleeps in the crib

chews on her fingers

sleeps without being swaddled

loves to watch her sister

Sydney's 4-month stats from her doctor appointment today:

Length: 25-1/4 inches (90th percentile)

Weight: 15 lbs 9 oz (90th percentile)

Head: 16-1/2 inches (75th percentile)

I think she scared Dr Palmer with her screaming!

Our beautiful girl that we love so much! We are so blessed!

Easter Weekend

It is SO much fun to have a kid that participates in holiday events now. Seoul really got into the Easter spirit, but of course didn’t hesitate to remind us that she DOES NOT LIKE THE EASTER BUNNY! You will see the reason in the pictures if you have somehow forgotten last year’s picture. Somehow holidays turn into weekend events instead of a one day affair.

Day #1: Easter Egg hunt at Hope Village [Friday]












Day #2: Picture with the Easter Bunny & coloring Easter eggs [Saturday]












Day #3: Easter – Easter baskets & egg hunt, church, cousin egg hunt, and Easter feast [Sunday]




















Last but not least, family pictures. I made Seoul and Sydney Easter dresses.

Spring is coming!

We love play time at the park!



Seoul loves to say “come on mom!” and wave her arm in a circle to show me where to go.
















Teeter-totters! This one is more of a bouncy thing rather than an old-school up-and-down motion.











Good times with Grandma at the park! It’s always more fun since one can chill with Sydney while the other can play with Seoul.








Seoul loves the slide… and is quick to point out when there is water, dirt, or bugs on it. If that’s the case she won’t go down.













Giddyap! Giddyap!













Of course Sydney naps a bit… she is loving looking around at everything, though. I think she will love sitting forward facing in the stroller when she can sit up a bit better.








We are ready for more consistent warm, sunny weather! Seoul is quick to point out every day if it’s “chilly,” “raining,” or “SUNNY – go to park today?!” Plus we can’t wait to really bust out the stroller and walk around town again.

March Purge

I have a bunch of miscellaneous pictures that I really like that never got posted. I know, we're now in the month of MAY - but oh well. Better late than never... for blogging purposes. Time is flying by at the speed of light it seems! Kelley and I were just talking about how the months are going by so quickly and Sydney is growing like a weed! At least we can't complain that life is boring or slow... we love it... we love our girls... we are at such a happy place right now.

We love this little face so much!

Seoul and her friend, Grace, working on a pinata at play group. One week they made the pinatas, and another week they broke them. Good times (except Seoul refused to hit it... she just wanted the loot)!

Seoul loves to help in the kitchen! We were making St Patrick's Day cookies - yum!

Sydney just chills while Seoul & I do stuff sometimes. She gets funny expressions when Seoul does something extra silly at her.

Seoul loves window clings. It started with a gift of Valentine's Day decorations... from there we moved on to St Patrick's Day and then Easter. So sad they probably don't have anything again until Halloween.

Sydney just chillaxing as usual...

Seoul had her first ice cream sandwich. Silly girl insisted on using a spoon to eat it!

Daddy and Sydney snoozing after a hard day.

Seoul LOVES stickers! They usually end up on her face but this time Kelley discovered this after just a minute... the whole sheet of stickers ended up on her leg, with just the one on her face.

Seoul likes to feed her baby Toot-Toot. She uses the boppy pillow, covers the baby with a burp rag (like I use a nursing cover), and then holds her up on her shoulder and pats her back to burp her.

We love this sisterly love!

Sydney chilling on her tummy. (I will confess that she has rolled over three times in her little life - once on video camera even).

Smiles after eating... we call this the milk-coma :)

PLAY TIME!!

 

Happy times with our family!
