youo can see the side of Mt Rainier behind us. 

We went up to the mountain today to enjoy the sunshine. We snowshoed around and took some small hikes by the river. It was really fun. She did great in the backpack 

Sydney had her six month check up and continues to be off the charts. She is weighing in at 22 lbs and 27 inches long. A healthy baby!

We have been having lots of fun in the sun. Sydney is enjoying pulling on the grass, playing with hands full of dirt and just being outside.

Sydney at Capitola Beach 

We just got back from a GREAT vacation in Santa Cruz, CA. OH how we miss it there. We had great times with friends, great surfing and a lot of sunshine. It will always feel like home to us there.  

we have one CRRRRAZZZY baby 

Sydney has found her toes!! They are the best toy for her. They don't get away, they don't hit her in the head (most of the time), and they are always there. She really loves them. 

Gotta love those cheeks! 

We went to Portland this weekend and went downtown to see all the Cherry blossoms along the waterfront. It was beautiful. 

hello 

Sydney is getting used to the camera now. I almost think she smiles when she sees it. 

Sydney is getting over a bad cold. The Doctor heard some noise in her lungs so they have her breathe in this machine 3 times a day for 3 days. She looks so sad with the little mask on. but she does so well. 

4 Months

I can't believe it has been 4 months! Time has gone by so fast. Sydney every day is such a joy. She has a pretty good cold right now, bad cough and runny nose, and she still smiles and is joyful.
At her 4 month check up she is 18 lbs and 26 inches long. She is a workout to carry around. Just as plump as she can be. But the Dr said she looked good and is growing in proportion. Just a chunky baby. She is wearing 6 month clothing because she is so long. I think she has my body. A long torso and short legs.
Be praying her cold gets better. It is no fun to hear here cough and have her not be able to blow her nose or spit up a luggie. She is getting better though, so that is good.

She starting to take longer naps during the day, which is great. It is still hard to get stuff done around the house when she is so darn cute to watch sleep 

Sydney has keys that she loves to jingle and put in her mouth, but sometimes it seems like there is nothing better than her hand. 

Not sure if you can see it, but her hair is in a real mohawk.  

lots of drool on the shirt.  

Sydney is really playfull and FULL of smiles.
