Busy Busy

Sidney Kate is sleeping and I am just reflecting on how blessed Reilly and I are to have such a healthy full of life little girl. The past few days she has had a blooming personality coming through and it has just filled my heart with joy. She has become such a funny little girl and I love watching her, especially while she is playing because she entertains herself so well and totally entertains me with all her different facial expressions. I would give anything to know what is going on in that little girls mind. I am hoping she is laid back and funny like her dad, I am not sure if I could handle both of them under on roof but Reilly sure does make me laugh daily and I am so thankful for the fun he brings into our family.

I am busy planning a baby shower for my good friend Traci which has been so much fun and it has really motivated me to get things done around my house. I am in the middle of making my first very own curtains which I will post when I am finished. I am also having so much fun planning Sidney Kate's 1st birthday!! Can you believe in 2 months she will be 1! I can not believe it but am so excited for her party. The next few months are going to be busy months for us but we are so blessed because all the busy is fun busy, with parties, vacations, lake time, pool time, cookouts, parks and of course the zoo. I am so excited about this summer with Sidney Kate and Reilly and all the lifelong memories we are going to make as a family.

10 Months Old

On Sunday, you were 10 months old, I can't believe in 2 months we will be having your first birthday party! You are walking all over the place and even starting to get a little bit of fast walking going on. You are still into everything but are starting to learn the word no and trying to decide if you would like to obey or do your own thing. Baby food is not your most favorite thing anymore, you would rather have what mommy and daddy are eating. You have become a big eater and now I am just trying to get you to learn to drink out of your sippy cup. You are about 19 pounds and are wearing 6-9 months clothes and still in a size 3 diaper. Over the past couple weeks the weather has been nice and you have loved being outside so we have made it a point to get outside whether it is to walk around in the grass or take a walk through the neighborhood. You are still taking two naps a day, some are better than others, but over the past week your two naps have been about 1 1/2 each and mommy is loving all that she can get done in that time. One of my many favorite things to do is go in your room after you have just woken up, you are standing in your crib with the biggest smile on your face and it melts my heart every time.
