Sunshine?

The other day I took Sydni on her first pic-nic! The sun was out, and even though it was still a little chilly I decided we should take a walk down to the nearby park and enjoy the great out-doors. She seemed perplexed by the big blue sky above her and the lingering winter chill dancing in the wind across her nose. She did a lot of blinking and frowning at first and then moved on to play with her rattle. I think this was the first time I was able to actually take her outside when it wasn't raining and freezing.
This is one of those shots that you hope for but are surprised to get. Zoolander, anyone? This, to me, was the magnum shot. This picture will go in highschool graduation slide shows, any future suitors will gaze upon this beautiful baby photo and someday Sydni will blanche and shy away from her embarassing parents, sick of hearing about what a cute baby she was.

Anyways, the pic-nic was short and sweet, and I really can't wait for warmer weather so that we can go outside and play!

Once again, I apoligize for not posting anything new for... wow, has it really been almost two months? I hope that you'll somehow find it in your heart to forgive me. Maybe these new pictures will help to persuade! You do drive a hard bargain. The above pic is Sydni (obviously) and her grandma's dog Lucy. This Chihuahua barely weighs in at 3lbs and Sydni had a blast with her. This was probably the only dog that could sit on her lap without crushing her. And then...

We spent some time with my best friend and her 1 year old daughter, Brooke. It was hard to get a good picture of them both due to the fact that they are both small and wiggly. Brooke is exactly one year older than Sydni and it's hard for me to belive that in just a year Sydni will be walking and talking, yet I just can't wait.

And of course Sydni relaxed and enjoyed some story time with Grandma and Lucy the Wonder Dog (it's a wonder she's technically considered a dog... sorry mom, you know I love her!). We had a really good trip and she slept during most of the drive. All in all, Sydni was a very pleasant travel companion and I hope she is up for traveling with me much more in the future. I just can't seem to stay in one location for too long before I start itchin' to see what else is out there. Love you all, and I'll try to keep up with this blog more often!
