She's Walking!!!
Syd took her first steps (by herself) this past Friday. AM, Kyle, Spencer and I were all on hand to witness the act. Sydney's been threatening for at least a week now and I guess she finally got up the nerve to try it (on the hardwood floor no less). She took about 5 steps to retrieve a toy that daddy stole. She knew that she had done something very special as she was smiling the whole wobbly way to daddy.
Life is still trying to make the adjustment to full "normal" (what's that?) around here. I'm getting slammed with having to travel for work in the coming weeks so I'm sure that normal will have to wait for another time. On the plus side of that, I should be closing alot of work so the Q3 bonus should be nice. Need to pay off those international travel bills!
The boys are both doing well adjusting to the expanded family. Kyle is helping out a bunch and changed his first diaper the other day(well, not HIS OWN diaper but his first time changing Sydney's). In the afternoons, he takes Sydney for mommy and plays with her so mommy can choose one of the following...make dinner, have a much needed shower, do housework...none of which are fun, but absolutely necessary in order for mom to keep her sanity for the day.
Spencer is trying to learn how to share everything and time/attention with an almost one year old and get used to the idea that his role has changed from "baby" to Big Brother (not an easy thing to master) There has been some issues here that have not been pleasant, from talking to a few other people...it sounds like he is behaving normally for such a huge change, but anyway...we all have to put much extra effort into trying to maintain the family unit so it works for everyone and no one is left out...never thought it would be so tough!!!
We have not had a lot of time to grab the camera lately, but we will post some action shots soon...stay tuned!
Other than that, not too much else to report. We'll keep you updated on anything important, interesting or funny that pops up.
Joe, AM, Kye, Spencer and Syd.
