Seriously...no shots with this child anymore! All the begging, dancing and pleading in the world won't get her to smile at the camera.
Her discovery of pockets...and that she wants to go shirtless.
Another discovery...not quite sure of what.
This is a face we're seeing a lot lately. It has several interpretations.
It has been recently that I've discovered there will be no more easy pictures with the one and only Miss Sidney Kate. She now knows when I want to take one and she'll do anything she can to ensure all shots are ruined...but that won't stop me from trying.
Here I simply wanted to take a picture of her in this MEGA cute outfit and her first time actually being able to wear these fun shoes. She ran and attempted to foil my fun; somehow I got these shots.
I had her cornered! And the chase begins again!
Yes...this just happened!
So Sidney Kate took a little nap before the State vs. Duke game. (I might have fallen asleep with her...)
Anyway, Kevin let us sleep until about 15 minutes before the game. Everyone else had already gone it, so we rushed on to the stadium and guess who was there when we walked through the gates?!
SIDNEY LOWE!! You bet I stood there until I could get a picture. I even told him that her name came about because of him (she's not named after him...but he was in the conversation-story later.)
So here it is! Sidney, meet Sidney Kate!
This is about the most adorable series of pictures ever! Sidney Kate was doing some serious lovin' on Emily!
Awwww!
She also was lovin' on her Uncle Keith too! I'm glad he didn't mind; she was leaning all over him. They were watching the horror show together. What sweetness!
Sidney Kate got me this apron for my birthday. Grandma Mary got Sidney Kate her apron. So we decided it was time to play dress up. (Getting hers off was quite a task! I had to let her wear it a long time first....)
Now when she sees hers handing from the rack she wants it on.
"What flavor do you want?"
"Chocolate? Okay!!"
The look!
This is the cutest outfit (and little girl) ever!
She's getting so good at running and giving Daddy hugs! Most precious thing ever!
Seriously...how adorable? (I know every parent feels this way about their child and they totally should!)
It was a little chilly last Sunday morning so we busted out Sidney Kate's pretty white sweater. She simply enjoys checking out the baby in the mirror. She will talk and play with her for minutes at a time. Wonder what she's doing?
Showing the baby in the mirror her teeth and gums.
This will be one of those pictures you look back on. It almost seems like every little girl has one like this.
Cheese!
Last Saturday, 10-3-09, State played at WFU. As much as we enjoy the shorter drive the stadium atmosphere and crowd is lacking. But off we went! We all met up at some place with "Dessert" in its title-bring it on...and for breakfast, even better! Those pancakes tasted like dessert too! Here we are doing out lil family picture before eating...if it appears a little blurry it is. We felt that way too; oh the lack of sleep!
All the kids meet up again. Here everyone is enjoying Ansley. What a sweet baby girl!
Sidney Kate is ready for football, any takers?
Swinging beads was her feature presentation this day.
On the way home from church today we sang the ABC song and I stopped at a few more places to see what she would do. She didn't disappoint! Listen to her new letters!
Of course she did it better when I wasn't recording, so I did another video to try and capture all her new ones. I think we pushed her too far, she didn't want to finish the song again.
Friday we went to the home of Sidney Kate's first love, Brett. We had a big play date with the Mosers, Aunt Jill and Uncle Josh. Tons of pictures were taken, I hope to receive them soon, but here are some funny videos to keep you laughing.
Sidney Kate and Brett found Brett's swing in the corner of their mega fun playroom. Somehow it came about that Uncle Josh was going to swing Sidney Kate in it...it was on after that! (Sidney Kate is looking up to Uncle Josh and saying, "Mine!" - she doesn't realize that because he's holding it she's allowed to swing...so funny!)
Of course you have to be fair...Brett got his turn next. Poor kid, all he wants to do is 'wing 'wing now!!
We did discuss that this is one of those videos you hear someone say, "Hey y'all, watch this!" and then a kid goes flying out the window. However, everyone survived these stunts.
And Poor Aunt Jill, all she wanted to do was swing too! So the boys let her have her fun...oh my what fun we had! (If anything about this looks redneck, just pay attention to the college team on their walls-hehe.)
I've been singing Sidney Kate the ABC song for some time now and she's had some pretty funny reactions to it. She often says, "Mom-ma!" and I'll stop, say, "What?" and start again. We'll repeat that until one of us stops. She also tries to sing along or she'll sing it by herself. Well, tonight we discovered that she can fill in the blanks...at least one. Please welcome the letter...
I have to admit that I have the good end of the deal. I get the joy of picking up Sidney Kate from daycare while Kevin gets stuck with the not so enjoyable end; however!! she loves her daycare so it's a rare occassion that she's crying when he leaves.
Here is a clip of why picking her up is so fun. Everyday is a surprise and I sure am glad I had my camera on this day!
Thanks for visiting our Lil Venable Fam! We hope that you're able to keep up with our growing little ones here and catch a few laughs along the way. Come back soon!
