I love my bottle (VID)



Sydney LOVES when its time for her bottle. She can grab and hold the bottle all by herself. If she sees a bottle on the table she gets very excited and starts reaching for it!!

Studying with Daddy

Syd likes studying with her daddy at the computer. She loves trying to type and send facebook messages.


But playing with her toys is so much more fun

Video Monitoring

While watching the video monitor, we have found Syd sleeping in so many funny positions, which has only gotten funnier now that she rolls over and can scoot herself all around the crib. One of her go to moves is to cover her face with her toys. Here she is balancing her animal on her face as she is out cold.

Of course, she likes to ham it up for the crowd...

Feeding Myself!

Sydney is starting to hold her own bottle now (with a little help at times)...






You better not try to take that bottle away from her, or you will face the wrath!

Family Pics at the Chapel





Christening Photos

We all made it over to the Duke Chapel for the Christening.


Godmother Kim gets to hold Syd before the ceremony starts.



Syd did a great job throughout the service. Not only did she not cry, but she was smiling and laughing throughout.


She loved the attention as she got to go around to everyone.



Btw - Syd's gown is passed down from Kristi!

Still rolling (VID)....



Sydney is rolling around all the time now! She loves flipping on her stomach; however, once she gets there, she is never quite sure what to do next!!

Roly Poly (VID)

All week Syd has been trying to roll over...and every time she does we miss it. We turn around and she is already on her stomach. Here she fools us into believing she is going to roll over as she reaches out for Lil Syd (her finger puppet doll).



Finally we catch a roll!

Let it Snow!

On the threat of snow, NC shut down all its local schools (Duke not included) last night before a flake even fell to the ground. This severe winter blasting led to record accumulations of approximately 2 inches of snow.


Syd go to play outside in her first snowstorm!
