YUMMY!!!!!!

I think Syrah might be ready to start solid foods. She was very interested in what we were eating and she decided that she wanted to try. The only problem was that she really couldn't reach the food so she settled for something else :)

Dress up!

Daddy took us out to eat for Valentines day! Syrah really loves her dress because she can lift the first layer over her face.

Su-Seuss Crew

As we came together as one happy family to spend time together watching a TV show called America's Best Dance Crew, we never thought Syrah's fascination would amount to anything ... until we noticed a change in her behavior (as evidenced below). Evidence 1: b-girl style and attitude Hot pink hooded jump suite with one leg rolled up and flat tennies.

Evidence 2: Hanging out with the boyz ... with attitude as well ... ... and looking worried that she go caught! Watch out Quest Crew, Jabbawockeez and Beat Freaks! Syrah's crew, Su-Seuss, will battle with you any time! So bring it!

Just Because

She is so STINKING cute!

Believe It or Not ...

SYRAH IS BALDING :(

Saturday Night Game Night

This last weekend, we went to the Strickland's home to hang out. While the guys played Settlers of Catan, the girls talked in the living room. Syrah was interested in what Daddy was doing ... she quickly got bored. So she went to hang out with her friend Levi.

Sitting Up

Looks like she still needs some help with this.

Getting up: "I can do this ..."

Sitting up: "Go me! I did it ..."

Oops! Too far! "So that is what my feet look like ..."

Back up: "I like this position more than the last one ..."

"Yeah, I like this position."

Poodles Everywhere

Golly! Isn't Syrah a Dolly in her Hip pink poodle dress! She can be a Paper Shaker at the Passion Pit with her girlfriends while sitting in her Rag Top that her Big Daddy gave her.

It has been difficult to say the least. Even though we have wonderful people taking care of Syrah, it is still hard for me to not feel guilty. I am her mother and I should be the one taking care of her. Syrah is doing well with her childcare schedule. On Mondays, she is with Abuela (my mother), Tuesdays & Thursdays is Julia (a friend) and Wednesday is with Auntie Amanda. Due to a couple of factors, I am working 9/80 (9 hours a day for 9 days). This gives me every other Friday off and since Tony works 4/10, he has every Friday off. So, as you may guess, Friday is a very special day in our family because Syrah gets to stay home with Daddy or Mommy … or both! Since I am working 9 hours a day, commuting up to 4 hours round trip, eating a quick dinner and spending as much time with Syrah as possible before bedtime, blogging is on the back burner L BUT, when I can find a couple of minuets (even though it cuts into my sleep time) I am working on my next post; which brings me to today! A couple of weekends ago, the three of us were sick. Luckily Syrah only had a tummy bug that caused more dirty diaper than usual and Tony was out from work a day or two. I on the other hand had ended up with a sinus infection and was out of work for 3 – 4 days. With the help of strong antibiotics, my health has improved. While we were all home sick, we took some cute videos of Syrah. Who know we have the cutest little monster in our family!
