Wow! I am truly terrible at this blog thing! Where has the time gone?!
Since today is the first sunny day we've experienced in several weeks, I'm going to have to keep this short. Sydney and I have business to attend to outside!
We are all doing well, aside from a few nasal viruses to visit our household. Sydney and I keep busy during the week by visiting family in La Center, attending exercise classes T,W,Th (Sydney attends childcare while I sweat it out), running errands, playing with neighborhood kids & their moms, visiting the rock climbing gym in the evening with Steve and playing around the house.
Syd particularly likes the rock gym, as there are big mats for her to climb all over, and a nice padded floor that she can cruise around. Steve is really looking forward to teaching her to climb when she reaches toddler-hood.
Sydney has taken her first steps, and it is hilarious to watch her. She looks like a drunken sailor. She can stand for at least 10 seconds on her own, and takes a couple of steps on her own too. I think she is in this phase where she REALLY wants to be staggering/walking around the house, so she gets frustrated with her inability to do so. Kind of like how she was just before she started crawling...So we'll see how long it takes her to get up to speed with the walking...I will say she is one determined child!
We are looking forward to May, when we'll have visits from Oma & Opa Vander Sluis and family from NL, including the Chin-a-Fat family! In addition, we're REALLY looking forward to some warmer weather around here. We're getting a little stir crazy with all this April showers business....
