Almost 10 months

I needed to post some pictures of Sydnee's sweet smiles! I could eat her cheeks they are so soft and squishy! She is the BEST baby! (I may or may not be biased) She loves to cuddle, she sucks her thumb whenever she gets tired, she LOVES her blankets along with her thumb, she babbles all the time now; a little dadadada and her daddy is eating that up(!),she LOVES her momma, she has been army crawling for about 3 weeks now and she has hardly any stranger anxiety. Seriously what 10 month old is not scared of every person outside of their immediate family? I cannot believe she will be 10 months old on Wednesday this week. Makes me so sad she is growing up so fast but she is getting sweeter by the day. I love you Sydnee Grace!!


Sydnee in her carseat in the cutest bunny hat! She was getting excited because she thought I would give her the camera...her arms fly up and down; SO CUTE!



Sydnee and Rylee....Sydnee's hair up in an elastic for the first time 2/7/11. Makes me laugh but still too cute!

Here she is doing her FAST army crawl!

Weekly Challenge 1

I did my challenge last week...I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I filled it out for this week and I am loving it so far. Makes me feel like I have a handle on my week. This week's challenge is my "mud room"...I kind of have a little mud room and I have actually bought things a few weeks ago to help with it so I will get to it this week and show the results next week! Loving the organization this is giving me and my family.

Crib Issues...Opinions NEEDED

Okay so here is my question for you...and YES I want/need an answer.

So let's say my mom bought a crib from we will call it RW almost 6 years ago for my baby(ies). It happened to be a drop down crib because that is what they used to sell....I know ancient times right?! Since then they have begun to recall drop down sided cribs so of course I was nervous but I never got a notice saying they had recalled my crib. I didn't even know what KIND of a crib I had so I had my mom call RW to check and see if I had one of these cribs that had been recalled. According to the recalls all you had to do was call the manufacturer and give them the item number or whatever and they would send you out (for FREE) a kit that would secure the drop down side so it wouldn't drop down anymore. RW told her the kind of crib I had and so I got on the website and couldn't see this crib anywhere on the site about recalling so I wasn't too worried and I currently didn't have any babies in the crib to worry about. Now we have a baby in that crib and the drop down side is broken! One of the ends that drops down won't even stay up when the side is up. So a while back my mom called RW again to find out about this kind of crib so we could contact the manufacturer and get a kit to fix the one we have. Apparently, the manufacturer is out of Canada, has gone out of business, don't answer any calls or the some of the lines are disconnected and there is no one to even contact. We decided to go back to RW and ask them about this company which they do NOT do business with any longer. They came to the same conclusion we did and hit a dead end. They have tried to offer me 5, 10, and even 15% off of a new crib from them "since it has been so long" they can't really do anything about it. They wanted me to pay $70 for a service person to come out of and look at it but I refuse to pay $70 for a service guy. I just want this company to stand behind this product they sold me/my mom...it is a safety issue we are dealing with here. I was completely willing to deal with the manufacturer but since they aren't in business wouldn't you expect the company that sold you the product to stand behind it? They finally decided to send out a service person this Friday free of charge to see if it is something they can fix....here's hoping they do something about it! So now my question for you....If this was you what would you do??

I know she IS priceless! But what if I don't have any more babies and I only need a crib for about another year...so really BUYING a new one is not really a great option.
