Sydney Andrea and I have spent the past week and a half with colds & sinus “stuff.” It’s the first time Sydney’s been sick at all and she handled it quite well. Her poor nose ran like a faucet for a while and she had a cute little cough! Anyway her is a new short video of Sydney eating her first bit of meat (Turkey). Pretty soon we’ll stop forcing you to watch these (I promise).
Andrea, Sydney and I had some more picture fun today taking some fall shots of Syndey including a couple in her Halloween costume! Here are a few samples, click either one to see them all!
On Wednesday, October 8th, 2008, Sydney crawled for the first time! It was right after I came home from work, I picked her up and took her into our bedroom and set her on our bed… and she promptly crawled a good 3 feet like she’d done it a hundred times before! For the past month or two she’s been getting on all fours, sitting up but hadn’t quite managed to crawl (just sorta rocked back and forth) until this week! Well, she crawls quite a bit now but we’re having a hard time catching it on tape. So, we’ll share a couple videos of her ‘kinda’ crawling to hold y’all over until we hit the jackpot! Enjoy!
Well, being from Michigan, Andrea and I are used to cold weather, falling leaves and apple cider when we think about October, picking pumpkins or hay rides. Well, we took Sydney today to a local farm to get some pictures and pick up a few pumpkins to decorate. It was hot - 87 degrees hot but a beautiful evening to say the least. We took her through a corn maze (which took over an hour to navigate) and had a great time. Took a few pictures, more of which you can see by clicking on the pictures below.
Sydney tries out her second to last vegetable! I don’t think there was any she hasn’t liked so far, very exciting! Before she moves on to fruits, she must first master carrots!
On August 25, Sydney turned 6 months old and Andrea and I decided to take a few 6 month portraits to send to family. Well, it took us nearly 3 days of shooting to get a handful of decent pictures and then a couple weeks to edit them (I’m slow, I know) so now both sets of grandparents and Sydney’s god mother have the pictures so we can share them with everyone (didn’t want to ruin the surprise).
Just a quick update on Sydney, she still only has two teeth (both bottom front). She can sit on her own for a very long time. She can sit-up from lying down and just recently she’s started to crawl. She can only move forward a foot or two but my guess is that in a week or two she’ll be fully mobile. She’s started to get up earlier in the morning than she used to but still goes to bed at 8′ish.
This week she’s been eating asparagus (and seems to like it!) and now only has two vegitables left before we move on to fruit! She’s a great eater and gets better every day at eating spoonful after spoonful!
Here are the pictures, as usual, click on any one to see the rest.
