Jeremy's first word

Stella's first word was "Mama."  She didn't know what she was saying as she babbled in the car after meeting Santa for the first time, but it totally counts.  You can read the original blog post here.

So....I suppose it is only fair that Jeremy's first word was "Dada."  Again, not so sure he knows what he is saying yet, but he says it often, and it totally counts.  How grown up does this little man look?!

p.s. In case you were wondering, I'm not sure what Sylvie's first actual word was.  We gave her a book for her first birthday where I wrote in all of the words she could say by age 1, which included things like Da-da, Melmo, button, and bye-bye among other words.  She's always been a talker and these days she spends a lot of time trash-talking the Eagles.  Where did that come from?

Anyway, here is a video from way back when (1-29-08) of talking baby Sylvia:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U24mlbX065k

The Black Diamonds

Sylvia's first soccer game was so fun to watch.  All but one of their practices had been rained out, so they were kind of thrown into the game, but they had so much fun and improved greatly just in the one little game.

They played the purple team.  In this league you have to be 4 or 5 years old.  The purple team MUST be filled with five year olds.  They scored.  A lot. 

Sylvie plays for the fierce Black Diamonds.  They didn't score.  At all.  (Until the very end, they got the final goal...woo hoo!)

Sylvie spent a good part of the game whispering with her friend, C.  Both of the girls dads are coaches for their team and they are good little buddies from pre-school.

I asked Sylvie what they were whispering, but she said "secrets, Mom."

Later that night, C's mom called us to let us know that she found out what they were whispering.  While sitting around the dinner table, their family had been sharing things that happened to them that day.  C said that during the game Sylvia had whispered into her ear, "I wish I was on the purple team!".  C's response, "ME TOO!"

At least they were giggling and happy while they were wishing to be on a different team!


Lots of love, Keri
