It has been awhile, I am not sure where to even start! After Sylvie's birthday it was like she was doing something new every day. It was not soon after that she started walking. Sometime in the middle of September she decided that walking was much better than crawling and that was the end of that! She is a walking machine. It is so cute to see you 'power walk' to Ralph and I and give us big hugs around our legs! Possible the best feeling ever!
Sylvie also loves her bath time. This is another great part of the day. I will go and start her bath and then tell it is time for her bath. She is so excited and runs to the bathroom, clothes and all on, and stands by the tub for me to put her in. I have to pick her up to her dismay to go to her room and take her clothes off. She then runs (power walks) to the bathroom again and tries to get in. It is just so neat seeing that she knows how things work now, and words that we use. She definitely knows bath time!
Sylvie says a few 'words' as well. These aren't properly formed words, but Ralph and I certainly know what she is saying. She says mama and dada, Thank you (what a nice child), what's that, and i like that. A conversation with Sylvie might go as follows:
Sylvie: 'What is that?'
Mama: 'It's _____'
Sylvie: 'Is that?'
Mama: 'Yep'
Sylvie: 'I like that!'
Mama ends up filling in a lot! But she is certainly learning!
Another tidbit of exciting news, We are expecting our second baby! Sylvie will be a big sister at 22 months old. Ralph and I could not be more excited! Our 'plan' had been to have babies two years apart, and we have accomplished this so far. Now I am wondering what in the world we were thinking! Two babies under Two years old??!! I tell myself that millions of mommies and daddies do it and everything will be fine! Right now our due date is May 29th- this might change at our next appointment. I like Geminis, so I hope it doesn't change too much :)
I have heard that every pregnancy is it's own and completely different. So far, this is true. For one thing, we found out about #2 baby a lot sooner than #1 baby! With Sylvie, I just thought I had a cold and was feeling a little under the weather. With #2 baby, I am feeling horrible. It was become a little better, and hopefully that will continue!
We will also be finding out the sex of this baby before birth! This is very exciting to me for some reason, because I am all about the surprise. Ralph wants to know. We made a compromise during the first pregnancy- we will be surprised with the first and if we have another we will find out what we are having. But I am excited about knowing and 'bonding' with the baby a little sooner!
Well more new posts below, I have backdated so be sure to look around!
Hopefully I won't be such a slacker from now on....
okay I got tired, more posts to follow tomorrow ;)
