What’s Hoppining?
Sorry for the long hiatus. It’s been a busy spring so far! Well, where do I start? I’ve had two birthdays since our last post, and I’m about to have another. Can anyone believe I’m almost 8 months old already? Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was being carried into my new home, and now I run the place.
In February I took my first plane trip (and vacation!) to Jackson, MS to visit my grandparents whom I affectionately refer to as Mimi and Papapoolie. I have six grandparents and four great-grandparents, so I have to give them nicknames so I know who we’re talking about! I did so well on the plane if I do say so myself. It’s a good thing I was born into a world of laptop computers and ipod headphones, because they were a wonderful source of entertainment for me. I got to watch my Baby Einstein DVD when Mommy and Aunt Kate started to get a little boring. While we were in Jackson we had lots of fun in the warm weather. I got to wear shortsleeves, which Mommy says she loves so she can see my cute rolls. I didn’t have to wear socks, which makes sucking your toes a lot easier! Mimi and Papapoolie took some adorable new pictures of me (soon to come) and they took me shopping for summer clothes. That grandpa of mine, all I have to do is smile and he throws something into the cart!
March was a big month too. I turned 7 months old, learned to sit-up all by myself and got my first two teeth!! I sit in my highchair for meals now and I get to try all kinds of new yummy foods. I love fruits and vegetables, and have you tried cheerios? They’re delicious! Watson used to ignore me most of the time, but now he seems to camp out under my highchair. I knew he’d come around. Mommy says we’ll be best friends one day.
Aunt Kate had her 23rd birthday on St. Patty’s Day, so we all wore green and I helped mommy make green cupcakes. I also got a new cousin that day. Aunt Kate got a puppy named O’Malley. He’s so cute! They come over and take walks with us.
Mommy and I have been going to music class once a week. It is soooo much fun! We just started taking it on Saturdays so Daddy could come too. He loves to sing Raffi songs and dance with me. Sometimes I hear him singing Raffi tunes after I’ve gone to bed. Maybe he’s practicing for the next day. We also go to the library for baby storytime and to check out new books. At the end of April, we’re taking Waterbabies at the YMCA so I can get used to the water in time for summer. Hot fun in the summer sun; I can’t wait!
I’ve got to hop now, Mommy and Daddy are taking me to see the Easter Bunny today. Mommy wanted me to tell you that her website is not finished yet, but it’s up and running if anyone wants to take a peek. She is trying very hard to work from home so she can stay with me everyday!
Happy Easter to everyone, enjoy my new pictures!
Love, Sydney
