First Foods

Sydney has just started eating solids. She doesn't like rice cereal much, but so far she is eating her peas and squash!

Notice her left-handedness with the spoon. I think she is a lefty....we may have to make a trip to Flander's Leftorium.

Giggler with Mommy! (VID)

Mommy loves to play with Syd when she cracks up like this...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Syd was excited to celebrate her Irish side today!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday to Chris!!

Sydney helped me make a cake, but unfortunately she stole a big piece before I could take a picture of our finished product! Our little leprochaun loves sweets!

Laundry Time (Pics & VID)

Sydney loves lying on the bed and folding laundry with me!

(Let's go Duke!!! -- win the ACCs today!)

Interesting Feet (VID)

Syd is fascinated by her feet these days. She also still loves playing with Lil Syd. Look at her big smile when she sees her little friend!

Charleston - Spring Break

We stopped in downtown Charleston for the day and walked all over town from East Bay to the Market Street to the Battery. Here we are at the Edmonston-Alston House...


Sydney loved the Palmetto fountain...





We also trekked out to the Charles Towne Landing area and spent the afternoon wandering through the park...

Isle of Palms - Spring Break

For my spring break this year we headed down to SC and the Isle of Palms. Syd had a great time on the beach for the first time, and was enamored by both the waves and the sand.

6 Month Doctor Visit

At just over six months I am now 25 3/4 inches tall and 16 lbs 5 oz! No shots today because of a little cold but I'm already feeling better so I'll probably get them next week.




Solid foods are now on the horizon! I can't wait to make a mess in Mommy's pristine kitchen!

Thumbsucking

Syd has taken a liking to her thumb..

Happy 6-month Birthday!!

Syd is celebrating her big 6 month birthday with a day of playing with Dad until Mom gets home from work! Look how much she has grown!!!





Compare to Day 1....

Magic Moves

Sydney is in the beginning stages of crawling. She can't quite get up and go yet, but she can scoot herself around the room pretty easily. It is hard to catch her on video, but here are a few shots of her dragging herself. She starts out on her playmat and always seems to head towards the fireplace...
