Catching up

I've got several posts in my "drafts" folder that I started and never finished (and hence, never posted). And now they're too old to post so I'm starting over. Again.
Sydney is growing way too fast! She's twelve weeks old now. Seriously! I took a picture last week (that never got posted), and this week we left town on Monday and I completely forgot to take her picture with her lamb before we left. I know, I'm bummed too. But there will be plenty of other pictures to document her twelfth week, so I'm not totally devastated.
Before we left, Syd got together with her cousin, Annabelle, several times. They're so sweet now that they're finally starting to notice each other. Sydney also got to meet Chloe and Olivia this week- the daughters of my cousin and one of my college friends. She's getting more comfortable around other babies, and is definitely curious about them. And these "big girls" have definitely been interested in her too! Annabelle (4 mos) tried to taste her fingers and Chloe (10 mos) just wanted to grab her face!
Sydney's first plane ride was a success! I was really nervous, especially since I was traveling with her by myself, but she did great. She fussed the whole time we were in the tunnel walking onto the plane, and all I could think was, "Oh no- we're going to be THOSE people with the annoying baby" but she settled down before we ever pulled away from the gate and slept the whole way to New Orleans! We talked to several people who were on their way home from the Superbowl, and they all loved her little black bow and Saints onesie.We've had a good time visiting family this week, and she's still got more relatives to meet this weekend.
Ironically enough, the snow followed us to Louisiana! I expect to see snow in Tennessee, but not here- I didn't even bring a coat with me! Maybe Sydney and I should go to Vancouver and bring them some snow too...
