Week 4

We can hardly believe that Sydney is one month old already!  She seems like such a big girl and so different from the day we brought her home from the hospital.  She has changed in so many ways!  This past week we got to spend some time with Oma Linda who came to help out, Aunt Jenn, Uncle Aaron & the gang who were here from California, and Grandma Bep too.  Of course we adore her and still can't help taking daily photos of her stunningly beautiful and perfect face and body, so here are a few peeks from Sydney's 4th week of life:


Sydney is always happy when on her changing table, and she is starting to make lots of eye contact and respond to smiling with smiles of her own!

Happy baby!



Sporting her new pink kicks that Daddy bought (a little big yet but we couldn't wait to try them on her....maybe next summer she can wear them):

Week 3

Nana and Grandpa came for a visit and to help out for the week.  We spent a lot of time relaxing, working on the swimming pool, and grilling some great dinners.  We are so blessed to have such a large extended family!  Here's a few photos of what we did this week:
