January 31: update (we LOVE this kid)

Haven't posted an update in a while, Geve and I have been too busy with our Sydney "baby-vision" as thomas calls it.

Our lives are finally starting to get into a routine. Sydney's sleeping a little better, though still in consist. Last night she slept for 8 hours! Holy cow. Mom had a good sleep finally, but dad was still stuck in the usual sleep pattern of up at 1:30 a.m. and up at 5:00 a.m.. We bought Sydney's crib mattress on the weekend and the crib should go up this weekend (finally) or so. I think that mom is having attachment issues because i sense her hesistation in letting Sydney go (geve, you are SOOOOO much like my mom you don't even know it).

Mom's into a regular schedule now. She's doing her daily stroller-strides class which makes her happy by getting out of the house, getting her workouts in, and meeting other moms. Geve looks great and I can honestly say that I don't know if I've ever seen her happier. I'll have to get a raise at work so that she can stay home.

Speaking of which, no new news on Intrawest and what's going on here. We'll find out in the next few weeks. We'll see what happens. I'm definitely getting the itch to get the ball rolling in terms of building a team and a legacy at work, but more importantly buying a home and moving on with our lives (i.e. getting back to hockey or golf this summer ;) ).

Sydney's now lifting her head up 45 degrees, working her legs a lot, and getting stronger (that must come from geve's side of the family). She's also trying to communicate (mom says it's cooing but I think it sounds more like purring)... it's adorable.
