Halloween

Here are some pictures from Halloween. Sydney is getting huge and weighs 16 1/2 pounds already!

Getting Big!

Yeah, it's been a while since I last posted. But that's how it goes with two little ones at home and being a full time teacher.


Sydney is getting huge and is becoming so alert. She loves watching Lucas and giggling at his silly antics. She's also doing well at daycare. We're still trying to get into a routine but we're all over the place. I am hoping in another month or so things may go a little more smoothly. On a positive note, I have not been late to work once since I started back. We somehow are making it out of the house on time despite diaper mishaps, spit up, hunger and crying!

Sydney goes to the doctor in two weeks for her 4 month check up!

Ovarian Cancer 5k

Every year Steve and I (friends too) walk or run the Ovarian Cancer 5k in honor of my mom. Since I haven't run in a while and Sydney can't go in a running stroller yet, I walked it. Steve and Lucas decided to run it and Steve came in 4th in his age group. That's not too bad considering he hadn't run since March!

Here is the newest member of Carole's Crew!

The complete Pevznamian family!

This is my last week home with the kids. I start back to work full time next Wednesday. I'm filled with a lot of emotions and am hoping everything goes smoothly. I keep telling Lucas he has to look out for his sister at daycare. He just smiles and says "sista" and rubs her head. Aww..what a good big brother.

2 Months!

Sydney turned 2 months last week! She weighed in at 13 pounds 5 ounces and is 24 inches long. It was her first round of vaccines and she did better than I expected.


For those of you who don't know, Sydney is a bit fussy. When I say "a bit fussy" I mean she screams for hours and nothing can settle her down. Since I am nursing, I gave up all dairy foods because I heard it can give the baby gas. She is actually doing a lot better. I'm hoping to start having dairy soon since my body can only go so long without Dairy Queen!


We have been having a lot of fun these past weekends. Here are some photos:

Lucas and Eli goofing around in Maine.

We went to an air show on Saturday. Lucas loved it! And,there is a small possibility that Lucas may be in the newspaper again. A photographer for a local paper took his picture. We'll find out soon if he made the cut.







On Sunday we went to the Armenian picnic where Lucas got a dog painted on his face and stuffed his mouth with rice pilaf and lamb kabob!

Bath Time!

11 Pounds of Love

Sydney just turned a month and weighed in at 11 pounds 1 ounce. She doesn't even fit into some of her 0-3 month clothes! Lucas better watch out she's going to start stealing food off his plate.

Well, having two children is challenging to say the least. When Steve is home it is manageable but the problem is Steve doesn't have one of those 9 to 5 jobs. It almost laughable trying to bathe Lucas with Sydney strapped to me while I'm trying my best not to bang her head on the sink or tub. Lucas has been really good though. He likes to point out to everyone that Sydney is his sister and he always waves and says hello to her.

Sydney already has a strong personality to say the least. In other words, she cries a lot. I've been trying everything. Right now, she's a mama's girl and likes to cuddle with me all the time. Hopefully she'll feel a little more "at home" in the world soon so her brother doesn't have to bang on the wall when she's crying.

My Big Girl!

Sorry for the lack of posting but, you know, I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 3 week old. Not much gets done around here except for diaper changing and feedings. Anyway, when we brought Sydney in for her check-up she weighed 9 pounds 1 ounce. The doctor weighed her twice because he couldn't believe that she gained 15 ounces in a week! He said they look for newborns to gain about 7 ounces in a week. Sydney doubled the expected weight. He suggested I bottle and sell my milk supply since there was so much. No thanks.

Our friend, Jenn, came by to take some pictures of the kids. She a great photographer and friend and she took gorgeous pics! Take a look at her website: http://jennalton.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/the-arrival-of-sydney-page/
