Sydney

I've been meaning to do a short post on my niece-Sydney. She was the first baby in our family in a long time. Before her, I had 6 nephews and one niece, but they were 10-23 yrs old when she was born. Sydney is now two and is so much fun. She is very smart (almost too smart sometimes) and she always makes us laugh. Here are some pics. She and Ashlyn are at the same daycare, and Sydney is a good cousin and checks on her "Baby Ash" everyday.

More Firsts

Ashlyn giggled for the first time Friday night. We haven't been able to get her to do it again since then, but we did get it on tape that night. So, we have proof!! If I can figure out how to get the clip loaded on the computer, I'll put it out there.

Ashlyn also got to play in her jumper for the first time. She doesn't know what to do with it yet. Sydney loved it, but my sister-n-law said that it was around 6 months before she'll really get into it. Hope that is true. Danny loved playing with Sydney in the jumper, so he's been waiting to put Ashlyn in it.

Day at the Park

We took Ashlyn for her first trip to the park on Sunday. She enjoyed the swing. We can't wait to take her to the pool and play in the kiddie water area. Here are some pics.

Update

Nothing too exciting has happened this week. It's quarter end at work, so I had to work all day Saturday, which was a big bummer. The biggest thing was I had a doc. appt. on Monday and waited an hour and a half and the doctor never even made it in. So, I'm trying again on Monday with the assistant. I just don't have much patience for stuff like that.

Ashlyn has been busy rolling over. Of course, she immediately rolls from her back to her belly and then fusses since she doesn't like her tummy. Hopefully she'll get the tummy to back thing soon and solve her own problem.



All that rolling and reading has made her tired. :)



Lastly, I find it amazing how fast Ashlyn's mood can change. We have a burst function on our camera and the pics below were taken within secs of each other.

Kissing Spot

I don't like referring to Ashlyn's spot in the back of her head as her bald spot since that is for old men. So, I've coined the term "Kissing Spot" since it is just right for me to plant lots of kisses on while I hold her looking out (which is the only way she likes it).

NKOTB!!!

We got false new a few months ago about this, but it was just posted on MSNBC and sounds more ligit!!!

New Kids on the Block are Reuniting for a new tour and album!!

I am so Excited. Yes, I was an avid fan during middle school and early high school. I went their concert when they came here (and yes, I am sad to admit that I actually ensured that my dentist put pink bands around my braces so that they would match the outfit I was wearing).

So, make all the fun you want, but I will be going to their concert if they come here. My friend Brianna allready confirmed she was going with me when the news popped up earlier.
