Sydney laughing

Here is a little video of Sydney laughing in the tub. I think that a baby's laugh is the most adorable sound in the world.

Sydney's birth announcement

To give you a little background, John has been really into photography ever since Sage was born. We got a really nice camera around then and he loves trying new things with it. We did a little photo shoot in our living room for this birth announcement. Those are real rose petals even though they look fake. John did the picture editing himself and I think he did an amazing job. We were really happy with the way it turned out. I hope y'all like it!

Life with two kids

How cute are they together! I was so excited for them to wear these little sister, big sister shirts. I'm a little nuts about dressing them. :)


Here is the first of many family pictures.


My mom came with us to the park to take these pictures the day before she went back to Texas. Didn't this one turn out nice?


So far my dad has gotten her to smile the biggest in a picture!


Here is Sydney Raelyn Pitcavage the day of her baby blessing, September 19, 2010. My mom made this beautiful blessing dress and both Sage and Sydney have worn it.

Hi everyone! It has taken me way too long to post something new. Life with two kids is a lot more work. I've learned that I have to plan for twice as long to leave the house with them and twice as long to go shopping or anywhere with them. It's weird to think about those days when I would go to a store alone. I've come a long way since Sydney was born. I was terrified to go anywhere with the two of them for a while but now I'm managing to get out and go places during the day. Sydney is such a sweet little thing. She loves to smile and laugh. She has the most adorable laugh. Even her cry is cute. (incessant screaming not so cute) Now that we have her I can't imagine life without her. Sage is so sweet with her. The first month or so Sage would hit Sydney every now and then for no reason but that stopped and now she is so sweet and gentle with her. She loves to kiss her and gets so excited around her. She runs over to her randomly throughout the day and yells, "this is the baby!" and "hi baby!" Sydney is huge for her age. Even though Sage has always been in the 90th percentile for size she was always true to size/age with clothes but Sydney is wearing 6-9 month size and she's almost 3 months old! Sage is getting smarter every day. She talks so much and can count to ten. She knows many letters in the alphabet and she loves to sing songs. I think she has a nice voice. She's already showing an ability to hear a note and sing it correctly which I think is impressive. Back to Sydney: another reason we love her is that she's been sleeping through the night since she was 3 weeks old! Isn't that amazing? She sleeps about 8 hours, wakes up to eat and goes back to sleep for another 3 or 4 hours. The latest exciting event we had was a surprise visit from my dad. He flew in to surprise me for Sydney's baby blessing. He came the third weekend of September. He was here from that Friday-Monday. It was a brief visit but a lot of fun. Sage warmed up to him by the 2nd day. Our next exciting event is a trip to Texas for thanksgiving. We'll be there for a week. My sister Stephanie is driving down from Kansas with her 2 kids. I'll get to see my whole family. Traveling with 2 kids under two will be an adventure. Here are a few recent pictures. I need to take more. Enjoy!
