Sydnee at 2 months old

I can't believe that Sydnee is already 2 months old.  It seems like time has flown by.  I am glad to say that she is an easy and sweet baby.  The only time she cries is when she is hungry, tired, or has a little belly ache.  She is starting to get a personality and is getting to be really fun.  This is what she is doing:
  • She recognizes our voices
  • She likes to stare at objects we put in front of her
  • She will hold a toy for a few seconds
  • She gives lots of smiles
  • She is starting to jabber, which sounds like an owl.  We do alot of whoo's around the house!
  • She doesn't really like being on her stomach
  • She loves to be held
We just went to her 2 month check up and she is right on track.  She weighed 10 lbs 12 oz. and was 60% on her weight and she was 80% on her heighth.  She got her 3 shots which she didn't enjoy at all but as soon as I picked her up and held her she quit crying. She loves her mommy :)  After her doctor visit we drove up the street to Grandma Herrick's work for a little visit.  Grandma loved taking her around showing everyone one of her little grandbabies.

Logan- Basketball 2012

Another season of basketball has come to an end.  The team this year was undefeated until the last game and they ended up losing.  It was one of those games where every shot they took ended up missing or they would accidentally through the ball away.  They just had an off game and a few of the boys were upset and crying that they had lost.  It was a good opportunity to talk with Logan about sportsmanship as well as things not always going your way in life.   He was a good sport about it and said that it was fun to have dad be one of the coaches.  They still got a trophy and celebrated with a team party at get air.  The boys had a blast! 


I didn't even realize when I took the picture but there is Grandma Stewart in the background.

Bath time

Today was just another day of diaper blowouts, so what better than to just have a nice bath.  With my great little helper (Kennady) wanting to do everything I was able to finally get a picture of  her bathing. 



Sydnee's Blessing

This past Sunday (March 4th) was a day of blessings for our family.  Not only did we have Sydnee's blessing but we also were able to go to my sisters baby blessing as well.  So we got to enjoy two of life's precious joys. It is kind of fun that these little cousins were blessed on the same day.
I hadn't been back to church since we had Sydnee and I was overwhelmed with many emotions.  I instantly felt the spirit and I have missed that.  Being able to feel the spirit makes me realize that I do have a testimony of the gospel and need it in my life to help guide and strengthen me throughout everyday life. 
I am truly grateful for relying on the spirit and following my heart.  Because of that I truly know that my family is complete. 
Baby blessings are such a great time to reflect on what is truly important and that is the gospel and family!!!  I have been very blessed with not only my own family but my intermediate families as well.  I always know that I am supported and loved! 
It was a great day and we are so blessed to have Sydnee in our family. She is such a joy and has brought our family even closer together.  Here are the pictures of the day and of those who I love dearly....my family. :)

You feel so skinny after being so pregnant then I see a picture of me and want to cry.  All worth it though :)  Weight Watchers here I come!

                            Well we know who the trouble maker is going to be :)
