Many Updates

We've had a lot going on in the past month. Back to work means fewer blog posts, although I try hard to keep up. Lots of cute pictures, so keep looking as there are several new posts below.

Sister Pictures

Happy four months, Jenna! She is laughing and "talking" a lot, and she just loves to watch Sydney do anything.

I love this one- it looks like Sydney is telling Jenna a secret, and she is laughing.

Outtake!

Happy Halloween

We made it home just in time to trick or treat around our neighborhood a bit. Sydney looked so cute in her bumblebee costume. Jenna wasn't too happy to be a ladybug, and she fell asleep during trick or treating.

Having fun trick or treating with neighborhood friends- but only Sydney was looking at BJ's phone for the picture.

The aftermath the next day... CAAANNNDY!!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Sydney!

It's hard to believe Sydney is two years old. She is so adorable and fun that we just wish we could freeze her right now! She is a total chatterbox from the time she wakes up, and we can have conversations with her. She has a really good memory, and she remembers people and events from months ago. She is so sweet with Jenna.

We spent the weekend in San Angelo with family to celebrate her birthday. Sydney can push the pedals on this tricycle by herself now.

Counting the candles

We keep trying to get a good picture of Beth and Sydney together. Not this time- neither was interested in focusing on a picture at this point. I think Sydney was actually hammering on her head with that toy hammer!

One of Sydney's favorite activities at Neeme and Papa's is to ride in the golf cart.

The geese and duck chased them around, which the kids thought was hilarious.

Cousin hugs!

The Bumblebee and Other Fun

Last month we got out the Bumbo for Jenna. Sydney called it the "Bumblebee" for about a week! She still fits in it.

She did give Jenna a turn sometimes though!

Action shot! Jenna is just starting to grab for things, but she will hold onto something if you put it in her hand.

Sydney made bread. She didn't enjoy kneading the dough one bit ("Dirty, Mommy") but she had fun playing with the flour.

Jenna loves her little play gym mat thing. She can almost roll over from her back to front but still gets stuck on her arm.

Sydney loves it when BJ brings home a trailer, whether it's empty or has something on it.

Busy, Busy

We've been busy, trying to make the most of our last weeks before I go back to work this Wednesday. Not too many pictures of our outings though because it's hard to get pics when out and about with the kids.

Sydney rode the carousel at the mall

Sydney wanted to show Daddy her wearing Mr. Potato Head's glasses when he was out of town, so I took this pic with my cell phone.

Sydney at the San Antonio Zoo with our friend Will

Happy 3 months, Jenna! She has turned into a pretty easy going baby. She sleeps all night now! She smiles a lot and loves to watch Sydney.

Dress up fun

Date night to celebrate our 3rd anniversary and BJ's birthday (a little belated). Thanks to my mom for babysitting on our first date night post Jenna!

Jenna has Sydney's hand me down clothes, of course. Here are some comparison pics of the two of them- they don't look very much alike at all anymore. Same outfit, same chair, different house, different baby!

We tried out a new brownie recipe- Sydney is a good helper

Sleepy little Longhorn

Many times when Jenna is laying on a blanket or in her play gym thing, Sydney has to join her.

Lately Sydney has been hiding in the toy cabinet a lot

Jenna looks so big when Sydney holds her!
