Day After Thanksgiving

Well our Thanksgiving was pretty uneventful. I was feeling a little under the weather all day and Jr was sleeping as he worked the night before. We're headed up to the mountains, so we'll get out Turkey dinner up there. I did finish a pair of pants for Sydney that are quite cute. Had to post so I could show them off. So, you can see his spit up too. Still urping like crazy, but getting better.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We'll be heading out to a few shops here in a little bit. I'm sure I'm completely nuts for getting out, but I've been cooped up for too long.

Hugs and Kisses to you all,
Leslie, Robert and Sydney

Sitting up now

In the last few days Sydney has started to sit up on his own. He is still not the strongest at it, but is enjoying being up and grabbing for toys in front of him. It is quite exciting.

This morning we woke up to very cold weather here and some snow on the ground. It's supposed to be cold for the next few days. I guess winter is here now.

It's a lazy day here. I have been off all week and am really enjoying all my time with Sydney and Jr again. We're not travelling this year for the holidays so we are pretty low stress. We're looking forward to a few days in the mountains next week and having a big Thanksgiving dinner with Brent, Allison, and Iris and Allison's sister Jordan is coming out too. We'll probably have pics of Sydney in the snow...if there is any.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. We're missing all our family and friends!

Big Diaper

Look at my big package

This is Sydney sleeping at night. We are using cloth diapers and at night we double up with a liner so that he won't leak and so that I don't have to change his diaper every time we get up. The other night he had a runny nose and had to sleep on his side. Jr and I both got a kick out of his dangling leg. Very funny. So we had to take a picture. Thought you all would enjoy.

Sydney also attended his first Warren Miller film this last weekend. For those of you who don't know Warren Miller, he is a film maker that focuses on winter sports. Since living in Boulder, we have attended every year to kind of kick off the ski season. This year Sydney got to go with us. He fell asleep the first half, then watched most of it the second half. We found the picture station during intermission to get a family pic.

First week under our belt

Well, mom had to go back to work this week and Sydney did great. Although, he has his first runny nose. Only 3 days of day care and it's already starting. Oh well I guess it will build up his immune system.

I think that Sydney enjoys hanging out at daycare in the swings. That's where he always is when I pick him up. Asleep or just looking around.

We're starting to gear up for the holidays. Should be fun and laid back. I can't wait to get a Christmas tree and put it up for Sydney to look at the lights. Sydney has welcomed a few new friends lately. Our friends Nicole and Paul welcomed Celia Ruth in October and Aly, Scott, and Morgen welcomed Audrey Claire today. As well as Chris and Iris welcomed Apollo Dean last week. Finally, Sydney is not the only boy. We're excited to see him grow up with all his friends and start to play around.

Well, off to feed again. Hope this finds you all well.

First Day...

I'm going to Daycare today.

Well, today was Sydney's first day of day care. He did great, I on the other hand had a very difficult time with it. He only went for a short time, but did very well. He was happy and just hung out as the providers said. I guess it may get easier, but not so sure.

We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Halloween Out of Order

What can I be? I'm brown, cuddly and so loved that I'm coming unstuffed.

Halloween was pretty uneventful in our household. I did come up with a "costume" for Sydney, but it was very simple. I figured it was just for us to dress him up, so didn't want to go all out and spent too much on a costume, so I came up with one on my own.

We went to a playgroup at Tara's house and had a great time. There were about 11 other babies there all varying ages. I think the playgroups are more for the moms at this age. We had a really good time. Sydney has lots of friends he likes to see and play with.

We also went to Anderson Farms with our playgroup before Halloween and had a great time. Sydney slept for most of it including the ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins. He decided to wake up toward the end, just in time for pics with the pumpkins. Isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen?

Sydney's first Rice Cereal

Well we did it today...Fed Sydney some rice cereal. We think that he loved it. He ate the whole bowl and seemed to be happy afterward. Very exciting.

Proud Sydney

Rice Cereal Mustache

Here's the video




Feeding time...yeah!!!

This is my last weekend off, so we are hanging out and getting everything ready for Sydney's first day of daycare. It's amazing how much planning that takes.

Until next time....
