mothers day

Happy Mothers Day! I guess you could say this is my first offical mothers day...not counting the beagle boys! I am so happy to be a mom and i dont know if i can find the right words to describe it. Sydney is such a joy in my life it makes me smile when i see her. I dont think you really understand until you are a mommy! Craig and i are enjoying every minute.

To my mom: thank you for being a wonderful mom. You are a great example of a caring and loving mom. Now that you are a grandma...thank you for helping us take care and love our little sydney. I sometimes stop and think how nice it would be if someone just took care of you and loved you all day long like a baby...and then i think that my mom did the same for me when i was little...thank you mom!

 

To my mother in law: first of all thank you for my criag! you have raised him to be a honest and hardworking man and i am thankful to you for that. You have also been a wonderful mother in law for me! i could not have asked for more. Thank you for helping watch our sydney. It is fun to share all of her first with you. you are a wonderful grandma.

update

more pictures of my baby girl. She now has 2 more teeth coming in the bottom. at the rate she is going she might have a full mouth by the time she is one! she jabbers all the time but only she know what she is saying. in the morning she will wake up a chat with herself for a while in her crib. it is so cute to listen to her.

sydney loves her daddy...always a big smile when she sees him, maybe it is because she has been with mommy all day and she is excited to see a new face. she also loves to feel his wiskers. i also heard her saying dada dada today...dont think she knows what she is saying yet or maybe craig is teaching her :)

 

syd is learning to get her binky in herself. sometimes she puts in it upside down. i had to snap a quick picture this time.

 

all smiles in the morning

 

we were trying out the umbrella stroller one morning in our jamies. she seemed to really like it. i was worried about not having a shoulder strap on her but the belt went pretty much up to her arm pits anyway. we went to the mail box and back and around the house. she loves it.

 

bumbo

sydney loves to sit in her bumbo chair. what a great idea the bumbo chair is. i just love her little expressions...cant get enough of my sweet girl.

 

 

 

 

easter

easter sunday. my parents came over to dye some easter eggs. sydney liked to watch us.

 

 

 

 

cereal!

so sydney is now 4 months and we are attempting to get her to sleep through the night (haha) the doc said we could try a little cereal if we wanted to so we gave it a shot. well i think that she actually liked the cereal and eating out of a spoon. whenever craig and i sit down to eat she watches us like a hawk. she is very interested in what we are doing. well despite our best efforts to get her little belly full she is STILL not sleeping through the night. ugg! how much longer i say?? i know it could be worse..she does about 6-7 hours at a time, which i guess i can live with for a few more months.

 

 

 

copper & sydney

the other morning i was taking some photographs for work and walked into the living room to find this! aren't they so cute together! i could not help but take pictures of the two of them. copper just love sydney and always wants to be with her. i always knew that copper would be really really good with kids. he has always loved kids. those bigs floppy ears...who could resist!

 

 

 

 

finally

finally a free minute to post a blog or two! my baby is sleeping, craig is at dinner with the boys and i dont have to work tomorrow!!! yeppee!!

Okay so where did i leave off...oh yeah syd was 3 months old when she got her first TEETH! yikes! way early i know...tell me about it i am still breastfeeding her. I thought i had her figured out and then whabam! it is so sad to see her hurting! Next came her 4 month shots...she did pretty good. i must say i have a very healthy babe(cross your fingers) she has not had one sickness to date even through the winter. what a sweet baby we have...we are very blessed!
