Sylvie gets her hair cut

Sylvia and I had a girl's day today. We both got trims at the neighbor's house, and we took photos and video because it was Sylvia's first haircut :) She felt like a princess, thanks to neighbor Kristine, the hairdresser. Videos to come later, but here is a photo:

Time flies! I can't believe it has been over 3 months since we brought little Stella home. I remember just after she was born, the nurse was trying to tell Dr. Touey something, and he said "I just can't hear you, I'm holding a screaming baby here!". There is nothing like hearing those loud healthy screams from your child for the very first time, and it seems like it was really just yesterday! I think we have lots of video to share from that day (although I only just charged my battery from my video camera today for the first time since then, so I will have to post that later.)

For now I wanted to post a photo of my smiling little 3-month-old, who now sleeps 6 or 7 hours in a row each night (yay!), loves going to story times with her big sister (loves just watching her big sister!), and spends her days giving the best, huge, gooey smiles:

fields of hippos

Sylvie and I had a great day playing outside in the beautiful weather. She got Daddy's golf itch and spent the morning practicing her swing....actually she spent about 2 minutes practicing her swing, another 2 minutes looking for sticks, another 2 minutes trying to "juggle like Daddy"....and so on. I wish I had her energy these days!! I really need to get some video of Sylvia singing. She is so funny with her songs now. She likes to practice for when baby sister gets here. She has big plans to sing lots of songs and read lots of books to her little sis. Today she was singing "I'm a Little Tea Pot, Here's my shorts!" Soooo funny!
She has become super opinionated lately, which can be really funny or really frustrating depending on where we are and what we are doing. The other day on the way to school she insisted she saw "a whole bunch of hippopotamus." I'd swear they were cows, but she saw hippos. "No mommy! no cows! HIPPOPOTAMUS!!" :)
