Pool Party, Yard Work, Puppy Love, and those Ohio Hunts

Tuesday after work I took Sydney over to Brynn Stowell's house to play in the pool with her and Maddie. None of the girls are sitting up unassisted yet, so they required hands on contact the whole time. The pool was a little cool since it rained earlier that day, but the girls seemed to handle it just fine. We found that it was pretty much impossible to get more than one, let alone all 3 babies, to look at the camera at the same time! Sydney was jealous of Brynn because Jeff won't let her wear a bikini yet.Sydney is trying to take advantage of being a little bit bigger than Maddie (which won't be for long), and is taking off her swimsuit in this one. Obviously Maddie doesn't look thrilled about going topless to the pool.After the pool, I dried her off & put some dry clothes on. You can see her eye color fairly well in this picture. They were a dark blue when she was born, and now they're hazel with brown showing up. I'm pretty sure they'll be brown eventually, since Jeff's are so dark. Sydney loves books, not so much for the reading but for the grabbing, throwing to the ground, and chewing on. I tried not to let her get drool all over Brynn's library.Brynn wanted to see if Sydney's hands were any tastier than her own. She gave up shortly and went for a pacifier instead.Danielle and I have joked about who would win if Syd & Brynn were in a wrestling match. At the beginning it was Syd, but now its hands down Brynn. Apparently, Brynn took it literally and tried to steamroll Sydney. Syd gave her the stiffarm and held her off.This is the closest we came to getting them all 3 to look the same way at once.

The Ohio Hunts were in town, and boy have those kids grown!!! Its been 2 years since I was out there last. Here's a picture of all the cousins.
Here's Katelyn holding Sydney. Syd was a sad baby that night so we didn't get pictures of everyone else holding her.
Jeff was mowing the lawn, and thought this was a good opportunity to teach Syd the importance of lawn maintenance. I can't remember why she's naked in these pictures, but she'd probably just spit up on her outfit & was sour.



She's certainly sporting "The Donald" hairdo in this shot, especially with the wind factor. The drool you see is a new accessory she has daily now.

Velvet has been an excellent dog since Sydney's arrival. She's a little timid around her. Velvet will give her a few licks on her own, but she backs away when Sydney reaches for her. Its probably because Sydney is wobbly and has flailing arms-pretty scary stuff if you're on the receiving end of it.
You can tell in this one that I've just commanded Velvet to lay down next to Sydney. She wouldn't' get any closer than this, but didn't' seem to mind the extra petting.
