Playin catch up

I just want to apologize to all of you who like to look at my blog. I have honestly been trying to put new pictures on here for a very long time, but everytime I tried my internet would kick me off and then I would forget to try again. I'm sorry, so I decided to play catch up and put some fun and cute pictures up. Enjoy!!

Our Sleeping Beauty

A couple of weekends ago we went to Logan, Utah to one of my greatest friends wedding (Congrats Jodi!!) Anyway, the whole way down there Sydnee did not sleep and she got to bed late everynight there. On the way back on Sunday she slept maybe an hour. When we got back we went to some friend's house to have dinner. We knew she was exhausted, because as soon as we got into the car to go home at 7:00 she fell asleep for the whole 15 minute trip home. Can someone explain to me why she can't falls asleep for a 3 hour drive, but she does for a 15 minute drive? She does look cute when she's sleeping though!!

I love how her lips are in these pictures.

Instead of using a regular baby spoon, Brandon decided to switch things up a little and use a HUGE PLASTIC SPOON!! Yeah I know my husband thinks he is so funny, what a dork! :o) Just kidding I love him no matter how crazy he is!
This is the very big and very cute bow that Aunt Bekah made. I know it is a little big for Sydnee now, but she sure made a cute model. Bekah you are amazing!! I am so glad to have you so close by so I can use all you awesome ideas and cute stuff!! Thanks!!
I just thought Sydnee's face in this picture was funny. I promise we do not drug her.....too much anyway. :o)

Sydnee absolutly loves the little boy that I babysit. She gets more excited when he walks in the room then when Brandon or I do. He will be 3 in August so he is almost exactly 2 years older then Syd is. So watch out Landon, she's comin after you when you 18 years! Yikes!! :o)

Daddy tickling Sydnee and then showing her some loves.

I was just a phase!!

It was just a phase!!! So I'm really sorry for not posting anything so such a long time, but life has been crazy. Our internet hasn't been working as well as we would like it to either, but that is the fact of life, right? Well a couple of posts ago I vented about how Sydnee wouldn't sit up anymore and how she would just throw herself back everytime we sat her down on the ground. (It was not fun at all) Well, I am proud to say that phase is over, for now. She is happily sitting up on her own again for close to a month now. YAH YAH YAH!!!! She has also cut her first tooth!!! Well kind of. I see it and I can feel it now. She woke up last night around 11:00 just screaming, so I went to go get her thinking that she was hungry. After I fed her I took her to her bed like always, put her down and she started to scream again. That is not like her. I picked her up and cuddled with her a little and then put her down again. She started to scream again. I picked her up and then felt her gums because her teeth have been teases her and us for months now. As soon as I felt it she calmed right down and went to sleep. Yes, I felt a hard tooth!! I was so excited that I crawled back into bed and woke Brandon up to tell him that I think Sydnee's tooth finally broke through. He of course just moaned and mumbled something that sounded like "goob" but I'm pretty sure he meant "good". It was kind of cute. I just hope that the whole teething process gets easier from here on out.

Please say it's just a phase!!

So Sydnee still hasn't quite got the crawling thing down. She does however have the backward crawling thing down very well. She's been going through this phase of "I want mommy and I want her to hold me all the time." YAAAAAA!!! This started to happen ever since I watched this cute little 4 month old girl for a couple of days. I thought to myself "Hey Syd can get used to having another child around so she doesn't think she is the only baby alive." Yeah right. She got so jealous and Bella, the cute little 4 month old, can only lay down and roll, she can't sit up, so Sydnee thought "if she gets attention from laying down and not doing anything then I'm going to throw myself back everytime mom or dad try and sit me down." That is not like Sydnee because she has been able to sit on her own since she was 4 months old. So, to have her all of a sudden throw herself back anywhere and everywhere you try and sit her down is not what a call pleasant. So now when she does that when we sit her down on the carpet then we let her do it and cry a little so she knows that is hurts. Don't worry we don't let her do it all the time because that's just mean, but she needs to know that it's not fun for her or mom and dad. She used to scoot around the house on her butt like a dog would if it had an itch and that is how she got around and get into everything. Now we almost always put her on her belly so she can start to really try and crawl. It is so funny watching her try and crawl. She sticks up her butt, straightens her legs and pushes with her arms (Hence the scooting back instead of going forward) It's pretty funny and cute. Oh by the way she still sits up, but only when she is against the couch, in her stroller, and high chair. When those things are behind her she sits up just fine, but she doesn't even use them. Yeah don't ask me why. (I think she gets it from her father :o)

The wonders of TV

When I exercise in the mornings I turn on the "Your Baby Can Read" DVD and Sydnee will just stare at it. She loves it. I think that is where she has learned how to clap and click her tongue. Now lets just see if she'll learn how to crawl from this DVD also. :o)

Flash Card Babies!!

I ordered some flash cards from Usbourne Books from my mom and I wanted to see was Sydnee would do with them. SHE LOVES THEM!!! She sat there for an hour looking at them, showing them to me, throwing them , then picking them up to look at them again!!! It was so entertaining and very relaxing because I didn't have to do anything. When she would show them to me I would read to her what the baby was doing and she would start to laugh. I loved it!!! During all this we were listening to the stories on CD from the Farmyard Tales Book and she loved all the sounds that the animals make. That was a great afternoon!!!

First boo boo

A couple of Sundays ago Sydnee was sitting right in front of her wood toy crate just laughing, talking, squealing, and have a good ole' time. Then comes daddy. He kissed her. He kissed her on the forehead then ran up the stairs and didn't look back. (sounds like your typical male huh? :o) Anyway, I was in the kitchen so when she started to squeal I thought she was doing her happy squeal. Oh boy was I wrong. When the squeal kept going and finally broke into a blood curdlying scream I knew something was wrong. She face planted it right into the toy crate and she was in so much pain that she couldn't figure out how to move off the crate. I honestly wished I got a picture of it, but instead I ran to her, picked her up and told her how mean her daddy was. Just kidding :o)!! I ran to her, picked her up and then handed her to her daddy so she knew that her daddy loved her and didn't mean to give her such a forceful kiss on the forehead, which then made her sling shot forward, face first into the crate. Looking back it was actually kind of funny, but during it she did not stop crying for 10 minutes straight and it was so sad. But she is over it and the battle wound is long gone!!! Great times!!
