Sydney

So for some reason Sydney loves to be naked. I mean she does have a diaper on but other than that she is naked. I practically have to bribe her to put clothes on. And if she has clothes on and we are at home and she knows we aren't going anywhere then she takes them off herself. And when she gets them off she laughs and dances around like she has made some big accomplishment. This morning when she got up she unzipped her nice warm pjs and took them off and ran around naked in the freezing house. I hope she is not practicing for a future career! Also, she has got some wild hair. God bless her she has been cursed with her mom's hair that has some natural curl in it. Right now it is in that awkard stage trying to grow out. When she wakes up in the morning her hair is so wild. It takes a little work to get it tame. She is such a mess, but so sweet and such a true blessing!

Here are a few Christmas tea towels I have made. They are so cute! what great Christmas gifts!

zoo

So earlier this week we went to the zoo with my friend Susan and her little girl Meredith. Below are some pics of Susan, Meredith, and Sydney (after pitching a major fit) riding the carousel. Which my child of course did not want to

get off of when it was over. Also, like I said I have gotten into this whole sewing and applique thing. Sydney has on an outfit I made her in the zoo pics. So i am going to post some pics of things I have done. Hope you all enjoy! =)

We made it through Mother's Day Out!

We finally made it through a whole day of mother's day out with no poop!!!! As most of you know we have been battling diarrhea with Sydney for over a month now. We have missed a whole week of MDO and have been sent home early other days because of diarrhea. But we actually made it through today with no diarrhea! Poor baby! I know she has got to be tired of this mess because I know I am! I talked to the doctor's office Wed. afternoon and got a little testy with the nurse. She was telling me to give it two more weeks and that Sydney just had a "virus." I mean who has a stomach virus for over a month??? Besides they have already run some tests in the doctor's office and they have all been negative. And no one else has gotten it. So after arguing a bit with the nurse, she got me a GI consult. So Sydney is going Wed. afternoon to a GI doc. I hope they tell me nothing is wrong and that maybe she is just having a hard time getting over a "virus." And if that is the case at least I will have some kind of piece of mind knowing nothing is wrong, but this is not the first time Sydney has had stomach issues. Poor baby she inherited something from her daddy. =( So anyway we will see what they have to say about things. I will keep you guys posted.

My first entry

Hello! Ok so this is our first entry. It seems like everyone we know these days has a blog so we are finally joining the crowd. So we are the Smith family. Rusty works for Verizon Wireless selling cell phones. What would we do without those these days?? I am a RN that has taken an extended maternity leave taking care of my two precious daughters. I am currently debating on going back to work but don't know what i want to do. I really just want to stay home with my girls. I have picked up a new hobby of sewing/monogramming/appliqueing. Sydney is 2 and a half and started mother's day out for the first time this year. So far she loves it. Mary Kate is 4 and a half months old. She is changing so much everyday and getting so big. I wish they could just stay little. Bo is our 25 pound Maine coon cat. He is my buddy. He was my graduation present from college from my parents. I mean I know some people want a new car or money or whatever but yes, I wanted a $600 cat. And yes, he is worth every penny!

Well we hope you enjoy visiting our site and getting to know our family. Thanks for visiting!!!
