Sidney-1 month

Daddy has the midas touch to get her to sleep on this night.

I carry Sidney around in a Moby wrap. I imagine being all cuddled up in it is just like being carried around by a mama kangaroo. She loves it. These pictures were taken while she is in it.

Christmas 2008. All about Alli

It was all about Alli this year. She LOVED Christmas.

Santa brought her a pink cowgirl hat.

She certainly did not get those amazing lashes from Mommy. I will take credit for the curls though.

Getting spoiled by Grandma

Random events

Sidney's unhappy face!

But she was happy with a bath.

This is as close as Alli would get to Santa.
Mama and her two little monkeys.

A few things I almost forgot about teeny-tiny babies.

1. The squeaks & squeals they make while eating.

2. Diaper blowouts, the number and severity of them.

3. They molt a week or so after being born.

4. They don't just burp themselves.

5. How sharp and poky those fingernails can be.

6. What a pain it is to file them.

7. Cord care. Yuck!

8. They don't respond to the "legs up" command like a 2 year old does during a diaper change.

9. How her Daddy dotes over her.

10. How good it feels to NOT be pregnant.

Busy Growing

Bringing little Sidney home has instantly made Alli into a big kid. Literally, she grew overnight. I swear she is taller, her hands and feet are bigger, her hair is longer. What is up with this phenomenon?

The things they say...

While I was coaxing Sidney to nurse this morning, Alli cheers her on by saying " Go baby! Go Baby! Go!"
