TIS THE SEASON

Snug as a bug.

Wow! I can pull a whole handful of Santas beard out. hee hee!

High- 5 for Santa! Morgan giving away her candy cane. She loves to share. Morgan takes dress-up day literally.

She pick-pocketed a fellow pilot's hat.

What do you think Dad-dee? Maybe I will grow up to be a pilot too.

Morgan was not too sure about Santa this year.

On our way out to the field to cut down our Christmas tree. We got a real pretty one this year.

Dad-dee, it's Rudolph!! Where is his red nose?

What is that Dad-dee? A llama?

I got to pet & feed baby goats too.

Where did Morgan go?? Ahhhh!

There she is! Whew!

SYDNEY SUE-HOO IS 6 MONTHS OLD

Oh No! She is going to kiss me...AGAIN!!! The humility of it all!

I love Tad! Thank you Gran for getting this for Morgan when she was my age. He is so much fun!

Dad-dee & his girls. This is one of Dad-dees favorite things to do- have both girls to cuddle & read to.

Gosh, where does the time go? 6 months already!! My baby girl is growing up too fast. Can't they stay squishy little cuddle bugs forever? Miss Sydney weighs 16.8 lbs & is 25 3/4" long. Proving to inherit her Dad-dees height (yeah). She has the chubbiest thighs. They are so darn cute. I was looking back at Morgan's stats at this age & Sydney outweighs her by more than 2 lbs...uh oh! I think she may catch up to Morgan in weight fairly quickly if she continues at this rate. Morgan has always been tall & skinny (usually 50th percentile or higher for height & 25 th percentile for weight). Tall & skinny just the way her doc likes kids to be.

Everyone says Sydney looks like Gregg but she sure looks a lot like Mommy when she was this age. I think she has my eyes (although I see a little of Gregg's eye shape too) & my legs. Hmmmm.... One thing is for sure...she is a HUGE cuddle bug! I think we can thank Grammy for that! She NEVER put her down the first 6 weeks after she was born. Grammy says it is payback. I lived on her hip when I was a baby. She said she had to do everything with me hanging onto her. ha ha We enjoy it though. It goes by so fast & before we know it she will be out of our arms & off running.

Sydney Update

Baby push-ups

All fall down!

Hi Tad! My sissy said I could borrow you. I think you are really neat!

Woo hoo! Love the Bumbo!

My kitty-Willow. She always hangs out with me when I am playing.

Ok, enough pictures Mom!

ANOTHER SIGHTING!

There has been another sighting of the Shrieking Bird child of the Great Northwest. We have to be very stealthy to catch a good glimpse.

GET YOUR EARPLUGS!

NEW SPECIES DISCOVERED!

Morgan loves to help give Sydney a bath. I just have to keep reminding her not to pour water on her face. Sydney thinks her big sister is the best thing since...'liquid gold'.Look Mommy! I am such a good little helper.I think someone is growing fond of the camera. Uh oh! hee hee

SISTERS

Here are the girls in Sydney's room. We were all having a little 'tummy time". Well, except Morgan. She gave her sister a hug & kiss & then she was on her way. So much play to do, so little time.

4 MONTH STATS

I am growing like a weed and proving to have my Dad-dee's genes when it comes to growth- long & lean. Mommy says she is pretty happy about it. I think there is Miracle Gro in my liquid gold. Hmmm...Mommy says it is all the vitamins she takes.

Height: 25 1/4"---(90th percentile on the growth chart) (23 3/4" at 2 months)
Weight: 15.3 lbs (50th percentile) (13.1 lbs at 2 months)

I played so hard that I wore myself out. Dad-dee was watching his Cowboys beat the Packers & the next thing he knew I was out like a light.

A SIMPLE MORNING

Here is a typical morning. Sydney sings to us as Morgan digs into her salsa eggs. Yum! It's the simple things in life that are so special.

Singing Sydney

Last of Summer Days

OOPSIE POOPSIE!

I love tummy time. Look how strong I am now. Holding my head up high. I am a happy girl.Mommy said she bought this suit for Morgan. The tag says 2t. I think the size is way off...I am not that big....yet!

Afternoon siestas in Dad-dee's arms are the best. Ahhhhh!
And this is the way I re-pay him.....all over his shirt, shorts & leg. Ooopsie poopsie! Hey, I gotta christen my Dad-dee. Now he belongs to me. I have officially marked him. hee hee!! Mommy & dad-dee were laughing soooo hard. Not sure why...but, oh well. Love you Dad-dee!
