New Pictures & Update

This is definitely her mad face!

After her outburst!

Dane wanted to snuggle with Sydni - I just love the sweet look on his face.

This little rascal works and works to get turned over on her tummy to sleep. I lay her on her back most of the time, and this is how I find her every time!

We've had a good last couple of weeks, and Sydni continues to grow bigger and get sweeter. Our sweet girl did have a very rough weekend, though, and she really gave us a scare. Early Sunday morning, she starting having blood in her diapers, and we spent most of the day on Sunday going to the ER and Pediatrician to find out what was wrong and how to make it better. She is doing better now - the poor thing had a little tear in her bottom, and it is cleared up now, for the most part. We are still waiting on test results to make sure there is no infection. It was so hard seeing her in so much pain, though. She just cried and cried most of the day Saturday and Sunday. I felt so badly for her.While we were at the Dr.'s office Sunday afternoon, we did find out how much she weighed, though. At 5 weeks and 3 days old, she weighed 9 lbs. 13 oz., so she had gained over 2 lbs. since her 2 week appointment.

Yesterday, Dane and I decided to make some homemade peanut butter cookies, my favorite! I wasn't quite sure how we were going to manage it, though, since Sydni decided she wanted to be awake and held most of yesterday. I remembered my Snugli pouch thing that I had with Dane, and I thought that I would give it a try to see if she would tolerate it for any length of time. She fussed for just a few minutes, but once she got used to the feel of it, she leaned back and fell right to sleep. So, it was nice to be able to hold her and use both of my hands to make cookies, too!





Then, last night, we met some of our friends and their kids over at the Splash Park in White Oak to eat supper and let the kids play. I thought it was the opportune time to let Sydni wear her tankini for the first time. I forgot to take her picture while we were there, but I did remember right before I changed her out of it. I think that she is super-cute in it!

Our bathing beauty!

Lately, I have seen several blogs that show how much kids favor their parents, so I thought that it would be fun to do that, too. I think that it is very apparent that Dane looks so much like his Daddy as a little boy, so it will be neat to see if he continues to favor Lane as he gets older.

I also thought it would be fun to compare how much Sydni looks like Dane as a baby. When Sydni was born, I didn't think they looked that much alike. Actually, though, if it weren't for the bow on Sydni's head and the girly clothes, it would be pretty hard to tell them apart in pictures, I think. Anyway, I just thought this would be fun to see on the blog. I added one of me around 2 or 3 years old, too, just for fun. I'm clearly the odd man out in our family!
