How about these girls?

Syd and Annaliese - The big sister can't get enough of the little. I frequently find Liese's hair sticky and matted to her head because Syd's made a drive by kissing.



Thanks to Aaron and Tina Retts, Annaliese is looking very stylish.

sorry so long

No excuses for the lack of blogging.
Syd's awesome, a big girl and growing a ton, learning and using lots of words.

Annaliese is growing great guns too. She'll be 4 months next week and is already in her 6 month clothes and stretching those out.

We're having a ball and have really enjoyed the summer.

Here's Annaliese's first haircut and Syd mesmerized by the carousel. She doesn't want to ride it, just watch it.

I haven't been able to capture her giggles lately, this time Dave was the lucky one.

smiles and giggles

Here she is smiling away at 6 weeks. Annaliese is a doll and has been smiling so much. It's awesome.



Yesterday Syd asked me to play with her, but I was busy with Annaliese and told her that I was going to pump (using a breast pump). Syd hasn't ever seen me do this, but thought she'd help. She ran to the closet and brought out the bicycle pump. She came back to me saying, "I help, I help."

4th of July neighborhood bicycle parade. The balloons were the biggest hit.

Big girl adventures

Syd ran some errands with Cara this week. How much fun does this look?





She's so big now and is helping out a lot around the house.

Syd's trying to burp 'Baby Liese'. That's what she calls her.
