Rotten Fruit

Ugly or Pretty?
I think it almost looks like this peach had surgery and was stitched up.

These peaches were amazingly good!

Best Friends

Sylvie has met many of her potential besties recently. Last Thursday we went over to the Mansfield's to see Emmie. She was so sleepy! I did get to hold her though :)

Sylvie was intrigued a little with Emmie. She was more intrigued by playing with Emmie's socks.

Beautiful sleeping baby

This Saturday Ralph took Sylvie up to the Prue's in South Carolina. Conner is almost 2 and a little brother is due the first week of August! Of all our pregnant friends and friends with babies, there are only two with boys- and the Prue's are about to have another boy! I need to figure out their secret when we decide to have another.
Such cute babies and playing so nicely!!

by the way, I am well aware that Sylvie is almost the same size as Conner.

11 months

Finally

Sylvie is holding her bottle by herself! Only when she is laying back on her bobby though. She learned this at daycare. Ralph picked her up early one day and Miss Annie was a little nervous- 'oh daddy is early today!'- because Sylvie was seated in a bouncy feeding herself.
I was also called out at a work BBQ the other day- Sylvie was sitting in my lap and I was holding the bottle for her- and my co worker turned to me and said ' what is this? At this age you are supposed to just hand her the bottle!'
I blame it on glass bottles. I don't want her to drop it and hurt herself!

Cheap Toys

Of all the toys we have for Sylvie, she loves the cheapest ones the best. She loves the rings that come with all her toys- so you can attach them to the bouncy, etc. They are probably 10cents each. She also found two water jugs- she loves those as well. This child is easily pleased!

Father's Day and beer!

I took Ralph to the Terrapin Brewery in Athens for Father's Day. Chris and Krystal joined us- it was a fun day!

Here is Chris teaching my 10 month old daughter how to drive. A little irresponsible- don't you think Chris?

Daddy enjoyed is beer.

A good thig about having a kid with you is you get free things! The lady at the cash register at Terrapin thought Sylvie was so cute- so she gave her a little stuffed turtle. Sylvie enjoyed knawing on it.
