O Christmas Tree!
November 29, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Yesterday we ventured out and got Sylvie’s first Christmas tree. We spent all of 30 seconds deciding – both Sylvie’s and my eyes landed on a little tree at the same time and we just knew it was the one. It was perfect. When we got it home, Sylvie went absolutely nuts with shrieks and [...]
Santa comes to Saugus!
November 29, 2009 at 10:21 pm
Santa made a special guest appearance at Ben and Amanda’s house this past weekend. Apparently he’s a good friend of the family and they go way back…or something like that. I’m so glad he could find time in his busy holiday schedule to meet Miss Sylvie! We were a bit apprehensive about our visit, [...]
Gobble, gobble!

Sylvie enjoyed her first Thanksgiving this year with friends Sonia, Nuno, Andrew, and Matt. Nuno came all the way from LA for the big event! Sylvie directed her mama in the finer points of turkey breast preparation from her vantage point in the Bjorn, and at dinner she tried her first taste of sweet potatoes. [...]
Two hurdles overcome in one moment

Sylvie got over her fear of Andrew. Andrew got over his fear of breastmilk. They both lived to tell about it and had a sweet snuggle moment in the process.
Mmmmm-bah!

It’s only fitting that “mmmm” is Sylvie’s favorite new word, since we gave her her first taste of food this week! She was so excited and fascinated by the whole process of mixing up the rice cereal and getting to use a spoon. She seemed shocked when the first bite met her lips…and then she [...]
(Mount) Misery sure loves our company

We’ve got to expand our repertoire for hikes – we keep taking people to the same place! Oh well, we still had a great time last weekend with our friends Julie, Dave, and their son Gabriel. Gabe and Sylvie are birthday buddies! It was lovely out – man, you just gotta love these warm November [...]
Aww, thanks Lacey!

Another surprise arrived from Minnesota for Sylvie this week – I swear this kid gets more packages than I do! Our dear friend Lacey started making Sylvie this “blanket” before she was born and recently sent it out. It’s not a really blanket at all, but it’s long and colorful and soft and much more [...]
*sigh*

Let’s start with the good news. The good news is that Sylvie has been sitting up independently for several minutes at a time lately. She’s not even all that tippy (although I still hover over her like a hawk). Go, baby, go! The not-so-good news is that, now that she is sitting up more, I’ve [...]
I’m ready for my close up!

Some cute little macro shots, just because. Sylvie stayed fascinated by the camera strap throughout the photo session – oh, to be so easily entertained!
Party of 5 (month-olds)
November 18, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Last weekend we reconvened with several of the families from our natural childbirth class (which is becoming more and more of a distant memory…must get that birth story written!). We had a great time catching up and discussing the developmental highs and lows of 5-month-olds. The babies had a great time together, too – they’re [...]
