Lyrics that brought me to tears on my drive this AM...

Even though this has probably been my most trying week as a mother. I do know that it could always be worse and that this too shall pass. This song that I heard this morning driving to work just reminded me of that...

"It won't be like this for Long" by Darius Rucker

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO WAKE UP
HE'D BEEN UP ALL NITE
LAY'N THERE IN BED LISTEN'N
TO HIS NEW BORN BABY CRY
HE MAKES A POT OF COFFEE
HE SPLASHES WATER ON HIS FACE
HIS WIFE GIVES HIM A KISS AND SAYS
IT'S GONNA BE OK

IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG
ONE DAY SOON WE'LL LOOK BACK LAUGH'N
AT THE WEEK WE BROUGHT HER HOME
THIS PHASE IS GONNA FLY BY
SO BABY JUST HOLD ON
IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG

FOUR YEARS LATER BOUT FOUR THIRTY
SHE'S CRAWLING IN THEIR BED
AND WHEN HE DROPS HER OFF AT PRESCHOOL
SHE'S CLINGING TO HIS LEG
THE TEACHER PEELS HER OFF OF HIM
HE SAYS WHAT CAN I DO
SHE SAYS NOW DON'T YOU WORRY
THIS WILL ONLY LAST A WEEK OR TWO

IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG
ONE DAY SOON WE'LL DROP HER OFF
AND SHE WON'T EVEN KNOW YOU'RE GONE
THIS PHASE IS GONNA FLY BY
IF YOU CAN JUST HOLD ON
IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG

ONE DAY SOON SHE'LL BE A TENNAGER
AND AT TIMES YOU'LL THINK SHE HATES HIM
THEN HE'LL WALK HER DOWN THE AISLE
AND HE'LL RAISE HER VAIL
BUT RIGHT NOW SHE'S CRYIN
AND THE TRUTH IS THAT HE DON'T MIND
AS HE KISSES HER GOOD NIGHT
AND SHE SAYS HER PRAYERS
HE LAYS DOWN THERE BESIDE HER
TILL HER EYES ARE FINALLY CLOSED
AND JUST WATCH'N HER IT BREAKS HIS HEART
CAUSE HE ALREADY KNOWS
IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG
ONE DAY SOON THAT LITTLE GIRL IS GONNA BE
ALL GROWN UP AND GONE
YEAH THIS PHASE IS GONNA FLY BY
HE'S TRYIN TO HOLD ON
IT WON'T BE LIKE THIS FOR LONG...

January...Ugh...

Poor Kylie has started out 2009 in a crummy way. The poor girl has been teething-I can see 5 teeth that could poke through any day. And on top of that...she has a yeast infection, pink eye, an ear infection, a fever, a cold and last night she topped it off with the flu. Maybe since she's had such a bad month the other 11 will be a breeze?? A mother can dream. All I know is nobody's getting a lot of sleep in the Sinn house these days!

Long time no blog...

For those of you who keep coming back looking for updates on Kylie-bless your heart. I'm sorry I've been slacking lately. Have no fear though, on February 2nd the Sinn's will be getting internet so be on the lookout for many pictures and updates from us!!

Aside from crawling, Kylie is busy pulling herself up on things and walking around them. Though she only seems to walk to the right?! If there's a "road block" rather than walking to the left-she'd much rather just push her way through it. She loves doing "Sooooooo Big" and throwing her hands in the air (pictures coming soon). She likes playing peek-a-boo with blankets. And the thing she goes nuts for is when Eric asks her what sound a Piggy makes and he follows it up with a screeching impersonation of a pig. Kylie tries to make the sound too by sucking in air and squealing! It's pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Kylie's getting ready for her first big road trip to go see her cousin Lena for her birthday! I'm pretty sure Abb, Erin and I are nuts for thinking that a car ride to Ohio with 3 kids will be fun, but wish us luck! We leave the 5th!!

Ok all. Hope you're staying warm and healthy!

Finally!!

After 9 1/2 months of being confined to a small area, Kylie Ann has decided she's had enough of that and is ready to be on the move. Last night Kylie got around like a "normal" baby on all 4s crawling to wherever Mommy led her! Hopefully get some pictures up soon of it!
