My sweet snuggley baby boy is 2!!

Checking out his bday balloons.  When we had the boys bdays in San Diego he had a blast with all the balloons on the ground so we repeated

First gift of the day

Craft time with Aunt CC's package

Elmo chair.  He sat in this to open the remaining gifts and it wiggles people!!

Everyone was so sweet to get Syd a gift as well.  Thanks Nana for the pink lovey

Trucks was a big hit this year

The final gift of the day, BIG TRUCK

Ty's cake, which melted slightly was a thomas the train little cake.  It was super yummy

He liked all the frosting

After dessert we went to CrazyPants concert in the park with the Colemans.  Good times

Final pic of the evening with all the crazies

Some love and fun with Uncle Joe

Lots of new things last week....

Our biggest new thing of course was my sweet boy turning 2 but he'll get his own post to come.  Syd had a dance camp last week.  A bit premature as we didn't even do Friday's class and therefore didn't see the recital.  Something happened that I'll never know that created a meltdown I don't want to leave mommy moment.  I decided not to force the issue since it's just dance camp.  Hopefully we don't see this behavior during preschool.  We'll see....  Oh so many mommy moments to come....  Wyatt had his first bottle with his daddy.  So far Wyatt is not a fan of bottles but we're working on it.  I've told him that mommy will eventually go to work so he should probably start to embrace it.  We'll see.  And lastly you'll see a video of Syd and her new "trick."  I'd like to say we got her to stay in that crib for 38 months so I'm proud for that.  Now a whole new beginning of big girl bed has begun.  We have a clock in her room that has a sleeping bunny and an awake bunny and we've told her that she can't come out of bed until the awake bunny lights up.  So far so good for mornings.  Naps on the other hand are a whole new ball game.  I won't give up though, naps are a must for all parties of the Herzog household including mommy.  

Little lady on her way to dance camp, then back home within 15 minutes haha

Our little trickster, she's so proud of herself that ya can't help but be excited for her

Crazytown update

July has come and gone and daddy is back to working again.  I will say it was an amazing month having all 5 of us home.  I wish we could win the lottery now so we could make it permanent.  The kids are doing great with Wyatt.  now that daddy is back to work it's a bit of an adjustment for all of us (mommy the most haha) but we are adjusting well.  Sydney is a good little helper but has a sassy side to her these days that we are hoping to kibosh quickly through this year 3.  Tyler is all about pushing buttons.  "Tyler don't push".....Tyler pushes then looks at you and smiles then runs off.  So time outs are something we do more of than not these days.  Wyatt is a sleeping champ.  He's going about 6 hours at night between feedings so I feel like I've been blessed with the sleeping fairy.  Love to all
