Little Pumpkin

We took Syd to the Pumpkin Patch today. It was nice and sunny but a little on the cool side. She had no idea what was going on with all the people walking around all of these orange things. It was more for the benefit of Brian and I so that we could take some pixs of her. She is so alert and so interactive now. We LOVE it!! She sure does keep us on our toes.

6 month Dr. visit

We just returned from Syd's 6 month Dr. appointment. She has reached 18.6 lbs (90th percentile) and 27.25 inches (95th! percentile). He said that if her height stays at the 95th percentile, then she could be 5' 11" at 19 years old. I guess Sydney and Uncle Scott can stand together in the back of family photos. :)

Playing in the tub!

Sydney has done a complete 180 as far as bath time goes. She not only doesn't cry now but, she has found her toys and would stay in as long as we would let her. She amazes us every day!

Syd the DJ

Syd's activity center has a piano on it. She is learning how to be quite the funky DJ. We provide additional entertainment by dancing and acting crazy to encourage her. That part is not in the video!

Syd's chasing her daddy

Syd LOVES her activity center. She has really learned how to use her feet to get herself around it. Brian walks around it and she chases him. It's really cute.

Syd is 5 months old today!!!

Time is flying past us and Syd is growing into such an amazing little person. She loves to "talk" and laugh and has such a great personality. We took a video of her tonight while she ate some cereal and green beans. She has learned in a month that when the spoon is coming you better open wide!! She has just started jar food this week and was not a big fan of bananas. She actually gagged and let it all back out. She has really enjoyed pears, butternut squash and green beans. We just love watching her watching us while we unknowingly teach her tons of things daily. She's AMAZING!!!!

Pictures from Florida

We just returned from our family vacation in Florida. Here are our pictures. There are over 700. We had a really good time. Syd became a professional roller and started sucking her thumb. She did so great considering she went to Disney, Animal Kingdom and Universal. We could not have asked for a better 4 month old to travel with. Enjoy our pixs! http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=238511938/a=23836365_23836365/t_=23836365

Sydney met Pluto

Syd had her first trip to Disney World on Monday, August 11th. We will upload all of the pictures in a couple of days. For now, here is a picture of her meeting Pluto. She LOVED his nose. She also met Donald and Goofy.

Four Month Checkup (and real food)

Today was Sydney's four month checkup. She has grown to 25.5 inches which is in the 90th percentile and 16.1 lbs which is also in the 90th percentile. She received 3 vaccinations. We didn't have the camera a the doctor's office but she rolled over completely for the very first time right in front of him. (Just in time for him to check it off and then leave the room) She is just like her daddy, waiting until the last minute for everything. : ) We got the go ahead from her doctor to start feeding her some cereal. So here is her first experience with being spoon fed. Hope you enjoy.
