A Little Laugher Goes a Long Way

Last weekend we had Sydney dedicated at church. We were so blessed to have our family celebrate with us (except Amy who was dearly missed!). Syd wore the same outfit I wore when I was baptised - she was so cute in her little bonnet. :) She also wore a tiny gold cross that my mom wore when she was baptised.


On Sunday right before my parents left my dad did one of his signature moves where he does a super fast pitter-patter underneath a baby's chin. It's usually done while a baby is making noise so their voice sounds all choppy...well, he did it to Sydney and she thought it was pretty funny - we got the closest thing to a giggle we've heard. So last night we decided to try it ourselves. Neither Eric nor I are as good at it as my dad, but Syd didn't seem to mind.

Bath Time

At first Sydney wasn't too keen on baths. She used to cry through the whole thing but she's gradually transitioned from crying to squawking and now mostly just sits there and looks around. Well, on Monday we gave her a bath and either she was in a really good mood or she's finally figured out they are not so bad because she got really smiley at the end.

Smiles

Sydney will be 7 weeks old on Saturday and she's getting more and more alert and responsive to her surroundings - including us! We can't get her to do this all the time, but we've caught her on video smiling a couple times and I thought I'd post below.
