Quick Update

Oopsi...sorry it's been so long again since I have made a blog entry. It's so hard to find time to just sit down and think about what to write because Sydney is constantly on the go. Our computer is upstairs so I can't just walk away from her while she is playing and she doesn't really have a play area upstairs. And, her nap times are very short right now - just enough time to clean up the house a little. Today however, I am at work and I am taking a break. When wearing my "stay at home Mommy hat" My "breaks" are usually during Sydney's naps when I am cleaning! If I sit down during her naps, I feel guilty so I rarely ever do!

Sydney is growing up too fast. She talks all of the time now. She makes people laugh where ever we go because she is so dramatic and talkative. People are shocked by the vocabulary she uses and the fact that she knows what to say at what times. For instance, Sunday we were at my inlaws for dinner. Sydney didn't get her afternoon nap so she was getting tired during dinner. She was sitting in a high chair next to me and in a trance. All of a sudden she looked over at her Nana and said "I sleepy"! Nana was shocked as most 14 month old babies would not know to say this...but Sydney does! She can communicate most of her wants and needs to us now which definitely makes things a little easier at times. She is now working on the phrase, "I ube (love) you" - very cute! Its just amazing at the things that she remembers and how fast her little brain works!

I am back to work one day a week now. I love it! Mostly, I love the adult conversation and the fact that I am using my brain again! I work open to close on Tuesdays and Greg stays home with Sydney. It's a treat for all of us! It's just so important to Greg and I to not have to send Sydney to daycare. Sure, we could probably increase our family income some if I went back to work but we would be sacrificing too much in regards to Sydney and that just doesn't work for us. So, we tighten the budget and keep focusing on selling this damn house!!!

Well, I guess my break is over and I need to get back to work!
