Ryan just loves Sydney. The first thing he does when he comes home is look for Mommy and Sydney. He hugs her, tries to help her if she is crying, and sits with Mommy when she is feeding, changing a diaper, or bathing her. 
Thank youn to Alexis for your great nursery design! We love Sydney's room, and without Alexis, it would still be gray and plain!
The biggest thing that happened is that we can finally get rid of Ryan's Diaper Genie. Ryan is so proud of himself, and we are so proud of him!
At two months, Sydney has accomplished a lot! She sleeps 11 hours a night, which makes mommy very happy! She is beginning to smile, especially when we smile at her. She can hold her head up pretty well, and she seems to be trying to find her thumb! We also FINALLY got Sydney to take a bottle...so...this means Mommy and Daddy can go out!
Sydney is one month old! Not much to report at one month, except that she is a very "easy" baby. She rarely cries, which is really nice! Last night, Sydney slept in her crib for the first time. She did pretty well, and Ryan liked helping me put her to bed.
Auntie Micki and Uncle Ed came to meet baby Sydney on their way from Baltimore to Florida. They came way out of their way to see us! We had a great visit!
Ryan can't get over how tiny Sydney is!
He was a big helper for Sydney's first bath!
Between all the chaos, we still had Chanukah to remember, and Ryan wouldn't let us forget it!!!
It's a girl! Sydney Harper was born on December 4, 2010. She weighed 8lbs 1 oz, and was 20 inches long. 
Ryan was more interested in the I.V. drip than his new little sister! He came and brought her a pink teddy bear. Sydney bought him an airport play set. Sydney was born on the 4th day of Chanukah!
Look what we did!
Ryan and Henry were so excited to go to North Georgia for apple picking.
It's been a long time since we last posted...so we'll just pick up here rather than update you on the last several months...
I am not sure what happened here, and I have no computer skill...so this is a sideways shot of Ryan sleeping in his stroller. He refuses to admit he needs a nap but he sometimes falls alseep during the day.
Ryan was not happy with the hole he dug himself, so he found someone else's play area and took over. His obsession this summer is life guards, diving boards and swimming pools. Ryan jumps off anything he can find and calls it a diving board. Then he blows a pretend whistle and yells "adult swim." The holes he dug in the sand were "swimming pools."
In case you were wondering what we've been up to...
