“We’re gonna rock this town…”

So it’s only a matter of time and our girl will have to be gated in! haha Sydney is getting up on to “all fours” with ease! Let me tell you, diaper changes are becoming a challenge! As soon as you lay her down she instantly flips over on to “all fours” and then rocks. The good news is she can’t do much than rock, but I don’t think it will be long before she figures out what to do. She has the strength, just doesn’t know the steps yet. While we were wrestling to get her dressed last night after her bath, at one point she was in push up position. It was too funny. So we know she has the strength! The picture in her yellow towel was from last night. She rolled over and I couldn’t resist I had to get the camera. After about the fifth snap of the camera, Jeremy says, you better watch it, your soon gonna have a puddle! I agreed and sure enough when I flipped her over to put her diaper on, we had a nice pee stain! If you look closely you can see it on the picture!

Priceless...

I have a few older pictures I wanted to share with you all that I just love to look at. It’s sad, I miss Sydney so much when I’m at work I look at these pictures I have saved on my computer at least once a day. It helps me get through the day. I knew it would be hard to come back to work, but never thought it would be this bad! She just growing so fast I can’t get the pictures developed quick enough! Thank God for modern technology, no need to developing. All we need in life is a blog site! haha

Happy Birthday to Sydney’s Prom Date!

Today is Joshua’s 1st birthday. I’ll never forget when we heard the news we were having a girl, I called Megan and Jason almost right after and asked if Joshua had a date yet for the prom yet. It so nice to have such good friends in the same town, I remember when Megan told me the good news they were buying a house in Milton, I think my response was, Oh great! We can be soccer moms together when we start having babies! Haha And here were are, with babies and a mini van for practices! We are set! Haha We are very lucky to have a couple of good friends in town, Anastacia, Lucas, Joshua, Remmy, and Joshua! Look out Milton! Here they come! Haha Time is just flying by! Sydney’s already 7 months old and her birthday’s coming quick! It’s amazing what all we have experienced, how quickly she has grown and her personality is coming through more and more everyday! She’s such a joy! Even when she’s teething! Yeah that’s right, tooth number 3 is almost out. Her fruits and veggies are going down so well, we’ll soon be on to finger foods! Let me tell you that kid loves to eat! Sydney right now is eating cereal and a fruit for breakfast and a veggie and fruit for dinner! We got to get her crawling so she can burn some calories! Haha We getting there, last week we were still “setting her in position” to crawl and we had fun rocking back and forth and then falling on her face. This week, as soon as she gets a chance to get on her belly, she right up and rockin! It’s too cute!

Sydney’s cousins

Just wanted to post some recent pictures of Sydney and her cousins. Unfortunately, I don’t have one with her and Joseph so we will have to make it a priority to take some pictures of them together next time. I love the one of Sydney and Brett, they we so cute together, Brett would have let her do anything to her. On the one picture Sydney was grabbing his ear and he just sat there and watched TV and kept saying it’s okay Aunt Darla, I’m use to it. Now the last picture was a cute shot I cought of Sydney playing in her pack in paly hugging her lion, she was too cute, I had to snap a picture. As you can see from the "bed head" she had just woken up from a nap.

Not enough time in the day!

I’ve been trying all week when I get a chance to post some recent pictures and every time, I get an error and I haven’t had time to figure it out. Apparently it’s still working because I always find new and cute pictures of my man Joshua and his blog page, but I’m not having much luck. So here are some pictures I promised a while ago of Aunt Jennie’s shower.

Aunt Jennie’s Baby Shower

Yay! Sydney’s going to have a new cousin in November. At least this one she might be able to maule instead of being mauled all the time by her older cousins! Haha Her cousin Chloe and Emma love her so much they can’t keep her hands off of her! Literally! Haha It so cute to hear little Emma with her lips puckered out saying “Sydney’s so cute!” On Saturday we had a small shower for Jennie to help prepare for the Blue team invasion! Finally Mike will have some extra testosterone to help balance the girly girls out! Haha It was so nice to have a relaxed small “get together” instead of the 60 people Shin Digs we are used to! Of course I still went over board on food. I got at least one comment of “Boy Darla, how many people are coming?”. Aleast I didn’t order another batch of 200 pieces of chicken like I did for a party of 50 people. Yeah, that’s 4 pieces of chicken per person. I still haven’t lived that one down. It was a nice time and hopefully it helped Jennie and Mike be more prepared for Baby Boy. I will post some pictures of the shower when I get a chance. Hope everyone is doing well!

The words all mothers are waiting to hear…

Last night Sydney was laying in her pack n’ play and rolling around and talking, and I finally heard it…yep that’s right the moment I’ve been waiting for…”ma ma ma ma” it was brief, and…I haven’t heard it since. I’m trying not to get too excited, especially for the fact that I was no where to be seen, I was sitting on the recliner across the room from her. So it wasn’t like she saw me and then said ma ma. But the fact that we finally are getting some sounds other than “AAAAAA” is awesome! We even got a “ra ra ra ra ra” this morning. So we are getting there… Slowly but surely!
