Dancing Queen.

The kid's got moves.

And style.

And a belly.

This one makes me think of the Emperor from Star Wars...

She occasionally (okay, OFTEN) charges me when I'm filming. It's a dangerous business!

And just in case you're wanting to view the goodness for yourself...

Smellie...

...has been busy.

VERY. BUSY.

Helping with laundry...

(it's exhausting work)

Refusing to eat her delicious dinner...

Attending Aunt Megan's wedding...

Crashing Syd's bathtime...

I'm sitting there bathing the Syd-meister, when out of the blue Emily comes flying over the edge of the tub--on her tummy--pajamas and all.

Comforting her sister...

Making sure Stinkie is well hidden...

Playing "naptime"...

Swimming at the apartment pool...

Making sure Syd's swing is well-stocked.

You never know when you'll have to go!

Playing with friends...

Testing mommy's high heels...

Finding new hiding places...

Watching Elmo... 

(Or Zathura. Or Tangled. Or Cars. Or... well... you get the idea.)

Fashionably cruising...

 Fashionably crashing...

Transitioning to her toddler bed...

(Eventually we had to get a baby proof doorknob cover. But it was getting fairly frustrating there for a while...)

Yup. Busy busy busy. 

She LOVES jumping off two feet. 

I hope the insulation between our unit and the one below is good!

She never stops talking. And I love it.

Most of the time. ;)

She is an amazing big sister. She loves Sydney SOOOO much.

Stinkie.

...as we lovingly call her...

She's darling...

Supah Swank...

and dimpled...

She's doing amazing. So far we haven't had any issues with long-term complications. No retinopathy in her eyes. She eats like a champ. And she's chunking up nicely. 

At her 4 month appointment (read: 1 month developmentally), she tipped the scale at 10 lbs 2 oz!

That's my girl!

One day (after two months of kicking myself for not doing a photoshoot of Sydney when she first came home from the hospital), I got off my fanny and decided to just wing it. 

Why, yes. She IS adorable. Thank you. ;)

 

Did I mention I was winging it?

And because she's hilarious...

Meanwhile... back in the 'Couv...

Hi. Welcome to my blog.
What? You've forgotten who I am?
Uh.....

 

I'm stuck in a mommy time warp.

You know the one. 

What? It's the middle of OCTOBER!?

*cough, cough*

Yes. I know it's out of focus and grainy. But I love it anyways.
