April 20: When Andrew crawls in bed with us in the morning, he first wants to snuggle with Sylvia. Often, the first spoken words of the morning are, “Can I hold Sylvie? She’s such a thweetheart!”
Sylvia is so smiley and beautifully engaging these days. Her neck is getting very strong, and she can see across the room clearly. Yesterday while we were gardening, I put her out on her play mat in the yard. She seemed to enjoy it…one of the first times it’s been warm enough for her to enjoy some outdoor relaxation.
In the past couple days, we took two stroller rides with both kids. Sylvia really prefers to be held, but she did well during the 1/2 hour walks to and from Olbrich. It’s neat to have my two kids in the bike trailer/stroller now!
Sylvie can be pretty fussy still. Yesterday she wouldn’t sleep from about 1pm until we both fell asleep at 8pm. She spent much of the afternoon being a not-so-very-happy camper. In the evening, I was trying to lie down with her to help her sleep, but it meant that we both slept together:)
Check out Andrew’s nine-week baby pictures in the gallery. They look so much alike! More pictures of our week are in the gallery as well.
