Sydney's first time feeling rain

We took Sydney outside and it started to sprinkle a little bit. We introduced her to the feeling of rain. It was so sweet to watch her reaction to the feeling of rain drops on her body. It really is fascinating to watch her learn things and see her reaction to them. We forget how good the simple things can be / feel. Lucky for us, we have a daughter who will remind us!

Our baby is growing.........

Here is a picture of Syd in her boppy pillow when she was 2 1/2 weeks old compared to her in the same pillow (different cover) yesterday at 9 weeks and 5 days old. She is growing way too fast!!!!!

Pictures from Sydney's First Vacation

Brian, Sydney and I just got back from spending 10 days in NY. This was Sydney's First Vacation. We stayed in Cuddebackville during the first half of the trip and in Long Island for the second half of the trip. While in Cuddebackville, Sydney finally got to meet her Poppy, her Aunt Corinne, Manly, the Conklin Family, Uncle Willard, Lucy and Tom, Gracie, Becky, Nolan and some of Grandma's coworkers. In Long Island, Sydney finally met her Great Grandmother, her Aunt Michele, Uncle Scott, cousin Samantha and cousin Lindsay, Mindy, Holly, Wendy, Larry, Linda, Andrew, Pablo, Jackie, Barry, lots of Grammy's coworkers and friends of Grammy and Papa Joe. We all had a really great time. It was a very exhausting vacation but lots of fun. We are adjusting very well to being back home. We miss our family VERY MUCH.... it's true that there is no place like home..... we grew up in NY, but The Labensons home is in Charlotte. Here is a link to pixs taken during our trip. Enjoy! http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AcM3LJq5ctmQc&emid=sharshar&linkid=link5
