Enjoying the ride

Connor(& Sydney) received the most AWESOME red wagon for Christmas from Grandma and Papa. Connor lights up whenever he sees it in the garage. I can't wait till the weather gets really nice (& Syd can sit up) so we can take this baby all over the place.

2 months!

Technically Syd is 2 months, 1 week and 4 days old...there just never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything done!

So cute!

Stay tuned two month pictures coming soon....

Christmas 2010

Better late than never. We had a great Christmas...Connor & Sydney both made out like bandits. We are so blessed to have such a great family that showered the kids with gifts. I'd also like to thank my in laws for sending $50 in Starbucks gift cards...that is like gold to a Mom of an infant! :) Connor really got into opening gifts and I can't wait till next year when Sydney is into it too. Since having kids I've really realized what the holidays are about.

 

I'm pooped!

MMM Cinnamon rolls for breakfast!

Um Mom is this safe?

Mom he's choking me!

Choo Choo...

Connor will tell you that is the sound a train makes. This year we went on the Santa Train in North Bend. I had high hopes for this experience but instead I was left thinking I will never do that again! First it was cold & wet and the lines were LONG. The train itself was pretty cool but that's about it. Maybe we will do it again in a few years when the kids are bigger and believe in Santa.

Clearly this was not taken in 2007...Papa needs to fix his camera

1 month

Sydney is a month old!  She weighed in at 8lbs 15.5oz and was a little over 22 inches long...I still can't get over how tiny she is!

Really I can hardly believe it's been 1 month already. We are finally starting to fall into a nice routine after having some rough nights(and days!). Thankfully Connor is an awesome sleeper and seems to know the mornings that I need a little extra sleep and is content being in his crib till 9am.  Everyone is adjusting well and Connor really does love his baby sister. He likes to give her kisses and touch her hands. Whenever she cries he goes right over to her to check her out...sometimes this makes her stop crying so I call him my baby whisperer. Besides the lack of sleep probably the hardest part for me is not being able to give Connor all the attention he needs and wants.  We've had a few tantrums here and there...which is probably part age and part jealousy. But I know this too shall pass!

My recovery has gone rather smooth too...I'd say even better than my 1st c-section. I'm in shock I was up and running (not literally) so soon after major surgery although there were (and still are) days were I over do it. Hard not to when you are a Mom! The good thing about getting moving is I've lost ALL my baby weight...now I just have to lose the rest my weight.
