Lounsbury/Craig/Mendoza baby shower

Saturday, August 27th we went down to Hurricane, UT for the Lounsbury/Craig/Mendoza baby shower.  Before the shower started we headed into St. George to go to Costco. then we headed to my mother in laws to wait for the guests to arrive. I was extremely tired because for the last couple days Sydney has decided that she will do this eat for 5 min and then sleep for two hours, no matter how much pushing or prodding i did. so my sleep tank was almost empty. so while Grandma was there to hold the little sweet pea, Jake and I took the opportunity to lay down and relax. Guests started to arrive and so she started to get passed around. She finally fell asleep, of course in someone else's arms :) But before the party could begin she has to up chuck all over Jake's Aunt Laura, I felt so bad for her. we got everything cleaned up and we started to play games while Jake lied on the floor with Sydney. We play name something to do with babies for every letter of Sydneys' first and middle name. then guess the baby food, then guess what chocolate bar is in the diaper. it was fun. then of course we got to open up the gifts, i made jake help me, after all she is his child too. we got a lot of great stuff, clothes, diapers (which are the best), toys, books, i was so excited for all of it. I love feeling like its Christmas. Then we got to eat the most beautiful looking cake, and it was chocolate too...yummy. Overall it was a wonderful day.

(look at her smile, its so cute)

when we got there Josh came right over and took her out of Lydias arms. it was cute and funny.

so proud of her

The library

Yesterday Sydney and I were waiting in the library for Jake to get done with his lab, that way we didnt have to go home and back twice. she was perfectly fine, well about a half hour in to the wait she started to poop, fine i was gonna change her when she was finished. after about 5 min I look down to see her white onesie covered in green wetness and growing. I thought to myself, this cannot be happening to me while in the library. Well i took her to the bathroom to change her, and the poop was so far up the onesie i just stuck her dressed and all in the bathroom sink (after taking the diaper off) and washed off her and the onesie. She was screaming and i was laughing at the whole situation. So a first for me, I got to change and bathe my baby in a library sink.
And she has done that twice to me today, but i was home both times so we were just able to stick her in the tub and rinse the shirt and her off.

silly baby

last night ms Sydney would not fall asleep for more than 20 min at a time. I changed her, feed her, put her back down like 5 times in a row and she wouldn't. i was at my limit, it was 1:30 AM and i wanted to sleep. so my husband said try giving her a bath. i did and apparently that worked because she got bathed, feed, and slept til 6:30 AM (which was nice). i think I'm gonna start a bed time routine so i can get the much needed sleep i want.

My little cutie pie

I was looking for an outfit for her to wear, and saw this and thought why not, its cute and hot outside.
I was right, she looks absolutely adorable in it.

jake had lifted her out of the crib and this is how she grabbed onto him. :)
