Huge Changes

Well in the Nelson family we are proud to announce two new huge changes to our family. Most you already know them but for those of you who don't here you go, and for those that do here is more information.

1. We will be moving to Bremerton, Washington on May 26, that is when we are scheduled to leave Lemoore. (YES!!!!no more nasty cows)


2. We are pregnant AGAIN. Trust me this was a total shock when I found out in December and today seeing the baby was a shock again that this was really happening. It was not planned and I am not allowed to say it was a mistake. So our Surprise baby is due August 11; it has a great heart beat, everything looks perfect thus far, and we are 13 weeks along. Yes, Sydney and baby #2 will be 11 months apart, I don't know how I am going to handle this and I have had very mixed feeling about this pregnancy. I still can't say that I am out right excited, but we know this is happening for a reason.


Oh and another fun little thing. Paul got his Associates degree this week. I am so proud of him for accomplishing that and we are now halfway done with his bachelors. Good job babe!!

Packing

Well its official; Paul, Sydney and I are finally reunited as a family and back at home in California. But the night before we came back home while I was packing I couldn't help but take a fun photo opportunity with Sydney. I stuck her in a suitcase and watched her play for a few minutes and then decided that I need a few pictures, but these pictures are the end results.

Inauguration Day

Well I know it is a few days late, but on Tuesday I was interested to see the Presidential inauguration to see what Pres. Obama had to say. So I didn't want to miss his speech and I didn't know what time it was coming on so I delayed getting myself and Sydney ready for the day. So when Sydney started getting restless and wanting a change I put her on her belly. I just had to take a snap shot when she stopped and looked up at the TV and started watch the inauguration. I know it isn't the best picture in the whole word since I took it on my phone, but know when she is older I can tell her that she watched the first Black President be sworn into office. I just thought it was a fun idea.

Holidays

So now that the holidays are over, it doesn't feel like things have calmed down. Our holidays were spent in Utah with family. We had the fortunate opportunity to bless Sydney while we were in town with the whole family. We spent the week we had running back and forth between the Nelson's and the Van Wagoner Family's. It was so good to see everyone and have Sydney celebrate her first Christmas with everyone.

After a week of being in Utah Paul headed back to California for a week of being by himself, which leaves us in our current situation. I am still in Utah for about another week and loving every moment of it. Paul however is separated from us in Key West Florida. He is missing everyone but is loving the warmer weather and taking the opportunity to go play with sharks and fish in his spare time snorkeling.Sydney has been rolling over more, chatting a ton, and loves spending time with her uncles and grandparents. However we do have to admit that men scare her. Every time my dad or brothers hold her she just starts screaming, but she is starting to do better.

We hope that everyone had a great holiday and is enjoying 2009. Hopefully next time there will be so funner updates.

Milestones

Well folks its official Sydney finally rolled over. SWEET!! She went from her belly to her back. Since last Sunday she has been rolling back and forth and finally got it today. Also maybe from a little help from mom. I set her down for tummy time and didn't get one of her arms completely straight. So I admit she might have an advantage, but I don't care she rolled over. I was lucky to catch it, I was preparing some bottle because I was going out for a few hours and turned a way a few minutes and when I turned back to look at her she flipped over. It went way to fast. So excited, too bad Paul wasn't here to see it.

Also this is our new way of sitting, she does very well in her bumbo and it has saved my life more than once with Paul being gone. I have been able to set her on the counter and do my make up or set her in it to make a bottle or even eat. It a blessing that she loves to sit in it and does so well, especially since she like to be up to look at the world so much these days.

Dressing time

Well if any of you read a post that I posted back in October I think you would know that Paul has been trying to learn how to dress Sydney. I posted about an incident in dressing her, well he has been caught being an offend of dress standards again. The pictures tell the story clearly. But I can't give him to much of a hard time, he is try and helping greatly. I guess he will have to dress her more on the weekends and our Christmas vacation.

2 Months

Today we had Sydney's two month check up. We got a good report from the doctor and Sydney is looking and doing wonderful. She is definitely a growing baby, she was 13lb 7 oz and is 23 in at 2 months; I can't believe it. She even had a few shots and by the time she realized what was going on they were over. So now we wait till the end of January for her 4 month appointment. Happy Shopping everyone!!
