Busy Summer

The summer has been flying by way too fast.  At the beginning of the season Lucas had a touch of Pneumonia and Sydney had a high fever (due to teething). Lucas' sickness is long gone but poor Sydney seems to keep getting new teeth daily. 

We went on our first family vacation to Story Land! Lucas absolutely loved it and Sydney got dragged along but she liked it too. Steve and I were a bit hesitant since all 4 of us shared one hotel room. The one drawback was Lucas would not sleep without us in the room. So Steve and I ended up going to bed around 9 for a few nights. But on a positive note that was the most sleep we've gotten in a while!

We also had our friend, Jenn, take some professional photos of our family and Holly's family.  The came out fantastic!  Here are just a few:

Butterfly Birthday Party

We celebrated Sydney's birthday was a butterfly themed party in our backyard.  We were a bit nervous at first since it downpourd all night and into the early morning hours.  Luckily, the sun shone through and it ended up being a fantastic day!

 Daddy and Lucas enjoying the day!

 I think she enjoyed the cake :)

 Then we tried a snow cone.  Think she liked that too!

She enjoyed opening presents but I think Lucas enjoyed it more!

My neighbor made this flower centerpiece and I added the butterfly lolipops.

My baby is 1 today!

It has been a year since my little baby girl joined us in the world.  I can't believe it has been a year already!  Happy birthday Sydney!

Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day with all the dads with a trip to Southwick's Zoo!  Lucas (and the rest of us) had a blast!  I'll post more pics later.

Beach kids

We've been having such wonderful weather that we've visited the beach for the past 2 weekends. Lucas loves the water and playing with his sand toys. Sydney loves crawling out from her tent into the blazing sun and eating sand. Mommy and daddy love changing diapers on the beach with sand in every nook and cranny.

9 Month Check-Up

I brought Sydney to the pediatrician for her 9 month check-up even though she is already 10 months old. Drum roll please.....She weighed in at 23 pounds and is 30 inches long.  The doctor said she has the stats of an average 14 month old! I guess that explains why she is hungry all the time and wants nothing more to do with baby food.
