Growing Baby

Here are some new pictures of Sydney. She is growing like a weed and becoming all sorts of fun. She has found her tongue and loves to stick it out and also put her hands in her mouth as well as my fingers. She is developing her sounds more everyday and loves her musical toys. She likes to try and sit and stand with our help of course. And fortunately for us, she sleep through the night all last week, but we haven't been lucky this week. I can't believe she is two months old. She goes to the Docs. Dec 1st for her two month check up so I will let you all know then how big she has gotten. But enjoy the photos, I took her outside for some pictures with leaves and she loves being outside. To bad it is getting cold and rainy these days. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Movie Time

Well we made our first outing to the movies since Sydney was born. Its crazy to think that we haven't been to a movie in almost 7 weeks, but between all the traveling we have done, Paul's school, Church calling, and a new baby there hasn't been much time for the movies. Needless to say it was good to see a movie again and good thing it was a free movie on base. Both Paul and Sydney slept through the movie. I guess everything is catching up to Paul, it was a funny thing to look down and see Sydney sleeping on my shoulder and look over to see Paul sleeping in the chair next to me. It made for a fun afternoon.

Veteran's Day Weekend

Well after Paul was taken of the list for a det for an air show down in Vegas. We canceled our plans of going to Vegas for a week. Last minute late Saturday night we got a call from Paul's parents saying the family was going down to St. George and would love for us to come. We rushed around doing laundry, homework, and packing and left early Sunday morning.

We had such a blast and even though it was a ton of driving for being there for a few days it was worth every minute. Paul and I had a break from parenting between Grandma Jan and Sydney's Aunts. They take turn telling her which one is her favorite. Paul and I had the opportunity to play with our nephew's and run a few errands with out Sydney making it the first time we both left Sydney; man that moment was packed with anxitey. On Tuesday morning before we headed out for our eight hour drive we went to the St. George Temple and got a few family pictures. It was such a great weekend we wouldn't have been able to make it with out the help of family which we are so thankful for and owe them big time. It was good to also celebrate the service of Paul and his Grandpa for Veterans day.

What a great holiday weekend. Thanks for all of the service our military buddies do and for all those who service. We love you all!!

Halloween

On Friday Paul's Squadron opened up to the families so that the kids could come trick or treat. I dressed Sydney up in a little ghost outfit to show her off to the guys and to take them their candy to hand out. Paul and I walked around the different shops trick or treating with her. It was so fun, we took no candy and she slept through the entire thing, but it was fun to do it with her and to see the cute kids. These are the few guys who were in the shop when we were ready to leave. They are a bunch of characters.

First Sunday

So today was Sydney's first day at church. She did very well and I only spent Sunday school nursing and changing her.

I just had to get some pictures of her. The dress that she is wearing is one that my grandmother crocheted for me when I was a baby. My mom preserved it very well and now I have the luxury of letting my little girl wear the same dress I wore.

Early morning casuality

Well Paul had the morning shift last night and unfortunately for him Sydney had a major blow out. So to my surprise this morning while I was feeding and holding her I was looking at her new outfit and was thinking something didn't look right. This is originally what I saw.

So when I went to go change her diaper I found that Paul had left her socks on with her outfit that had footies, and then the onesise that he had pick wasn't a plain white one. It was one I would put her in to wear for the day. And to make it even funnier, he put it on backwards and only buttoned two of the three buttons. I just died laughing when I finally figured out what was going on. I just couldn't resist the pictures. I thought it was cute that his first time dressing her and this is what we got. But in his defense he says it was dark and he wouldn't turn a light on. I guess we need to practice the daddy dressing Sydney part of life.

Halloween Fun

Friday night a couple of guys from the squadron decided they wanted to carve pumpkins and since we have the new baby in the group our house was the host house. It was so much fun. Sydney and I enjoyed the day dressing her up in her different Halloween outfits and making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. It felt so good to be able to accomplish a task such as making cookies. After work the guys and spouse came over and the pumpkin carving began. So here are the end results.

This is her "Trick or Treat" outfit when we were making cookies. Thankfully she slept through most of the baking so I could get it done.Outfit number two, her ghost onesise. This outfit and the one above are courtesy of her Uncle Curtis; he felt bad for making mommy cry one night and went and bought Sydney a bunch of outfits and other stuff.My little pumpkin!!!The beginning of carving pumpkins: Brett, Brandon, and Cubby are all creating there masterpieces. And below is the final masterpieces!!
