Per the previous post, you should know by now that the 1st Saturday in February is Ice Cream for Breakfast day.
Last year we built a big fort in the basement and Grandma had her hands full with all the grand-kids and Zach. This year we had a more relaxing day of celebration.
After Sylvia had breakfast #1 we headed over to Aaron and Jen's for waffles, ice cream and a fire.She wasn't to sure about ice cream on her waffles. Maybe she only likes homemade ice cream?
The rest of us enjoyed some interesting combinations like Maple Nut ice cream with blueberry syrup or Ben & Jerry's Imagine Whirled Peace and applesauce... of course on top of waffles.
Sylvia did a great job of being the 'shy kid' for more than an hour, but then warmed up to Aaron, Jen, and the cats.
All in all it was a great ice cream for breakfast day and we thank Aaron and Jen for hosting. The countdown to next year's celebration is just 362 days away...

18 month checkup
Monday was Sylvia's 18 month checkup. For the most part everything was fine, except when the Dr. asked if she was sleeping OK. I responded with "for the most part, but we figured she was teething because she would wake up every once in a while". The Dr. politely responded with "It is likely she isn't sleeping as well because she has a double ear infection." As I am thinking to myself 'worst parents ever!'... Anyway, she has been on antibiotics since and loves them by the way.
The thing we always look forward to is the height and weight.
Weight - 20# 8 oz (3%)
Height - 31" (25%)
She did jump a bit in height this time, but is still following the lower limit on weight... No comment on who see takes after there!
After dinner tonight, Sylvia was running around the house with her alligator. She did have a few moments to stop and strike a pose...

Christmas on New Year's Day !??!??!
As a final episode to Christmas 2009, we headed up to Michael and Charleen's to celebrate Christmas on New Year's Day. Since they were kind enough to watch Sylvia the night prior, Jamie and I had a chance to grab a nice dinner and hang out with a friends (while they all chased after their children). It was very relaxing!
While the broom was a hit, the real winner may have been the snow shovel. Sylvia did a great job of 'shoveling' up the wrapping paper.
We of course ate way too much and opened way too many presents, but it was a nice relaxing day and a great ending to Christmas 2009. Thankfully we have about 350 more days to get ready from Christmas 2010!
