Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Just Because

I love little fit hats! They are so cute! I can't wait for Sydney to actually wear them! I couldn't resist this moment! How cute is my baby in her bumbo???


Sydney rocking her boots!
PS - Jeff picked this outfit out - I was impressed!

Nothing better than a sleeping baby! I could stare at her all day! As you can see we swaddle her really good at bedtime and by morning she is out! Sometimes if she can't work her way out of it she will cry and then I will come and unwrap her and she will sleep 2 more hours.
I love this little girl!

3 Months

Sydney is 3 months and is so much fun to be around! Here are a couple of things she is doing at 3 months:

• Sucks on her fist - I always tell people she is working on her party trick! She really can almost get her whole fist in her mouth
• She likes to try to grab and hold on to her tongue
• She gives the most wet drooly open mouth kisses
• She has the cutest giggle that almost starts out as a grunt and then turns to laughter. Hearing her giggle and laugh brings me complete delight!
• She wakes up happy! I will be working on my computer with the monitor by me and I will just hear sighs and talking. When I walk into her room she is just laying in her crib looking around. And of course gives me the biggest cutest grin in the whole world! Best part of the day!
• She is an incredible sleeper! This is not a typo - she sleeps 9-11 hours at night! I just wish I was able to go to bed the same time and wake up at the same time! I love her!
• She LOVES bath time! She will kick and splash like crazy! I think bath time makes her so tired at night which is why we do every night around 9!
• She loves being naked! If she starts to cry and I can't figure out why I just start to undress her! She loves being free from those clothes! Summer time will be fun!
• She loves being outside! She is very aware when her environment has changed and loves the wind in her face! We will go for walks and she loves looking at the trees. I know she can't see the ocean waves yet, but I know that is her favorite thing! She loves being down at the beach!
  
  
  

Bath Time Fun!

One of my favorite nighttime routines is bath time with Sydney! She absolutely loves the water and is so stinking cute in the bath! I am a little sad that she is quickly outgrowing her whale bathtub! She is so fun and plays so good in the bath that I swear it makes her tired and gets her ready for a good nights sleep!

HAPPY 2010 NEW YEAR!

For new years I partied it up just me and Sydney! Jeff was super sick and I was doing everything I could to keep Sydney away from her sick daddy! Syd and I went and got some Pei Wei together and then we came home and did bath time and hung out. My back is starting to hurt from playing with this cute big baby! But Sydney went to bed about 10 pm and so did I!

I hope that 2010 brings everyone good health and happiness!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sydney went and saw the real Santa at Fashion Island! My family has been going since we were kids so it's only right that Sydney see him too! She slept on his lap and was such a good girl!

Sydney gave us the gift of sleep for Christmas! She slept 9 hours and so did we! It was amazing! Once she woke up we all got in bed together and opened presents! Her grandma Jensen made her the cute doll she is holding. It really was the best morning ever. I will never forget our first Christmas with Sydney!

On Christmas Eve Santa came to the house! We dressed little Sydney as Santa's Reindeer! She was so stinking cute! We went for a walk around the neighborhood and she stayed nice and warm. I really can't get enough of this little face!

Sydney and her cousin Stella got matching jammies and were so cute!

Christmas time really is the most wonderful time of the year. I love everything about it. It was so fun having Sydney this year and the new excitement it brought to our lives. Every morning we got up and read a Christmas story and scripture together. Although I know she will never remember those moments it brought joy to my heart in ways I didn't know possible!

The Grinch!

We got away for the night with some friends before the holidays to see The Grinch at the Pantages in Hollywood. It was so much and the play was really good! And it's always so fun to go out with our fun friends. Afterwards Ruben introduced us to King Taco in LA. You know you are not in a good area of LA when the security guards at the taco stand actually carry guns! :) It was so fun!
