New Bedroom!

Na and Pop came to visit and painted Sydney's nursery.

This is my favorite bug. Isn't it cute!
Taking a nap after all the hard work!

Gulf World

You can't read the sign, but this Parrot's name is Sydney. Sydney was fascinated by the birds. I guess because they make a lot of noise and are such bright colors.

She could not take her eyes off the flamingos either.
I think I enjoyed the dophins more than Sydney, but we did manage to catch a picture.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Sydney is helping grandmother cook the Thanksgiving Dinner. It is smelling wonderful!!!

Rough Nights

Sydney has NOT been sleeping well at night since she no longer has to wear her brace. It looks like daddy caught his girls taking a cat nap yesterday afternoon. (Yes those are really dark circles under my eyes)

Caught on Camera

We finally got Sydney's teeth on camera. They are still a little hard to see when the pic is smaller, but trust me they are there!

All I want for Christmas is...............

MY TWO FRONT TEETH!!!! Sydney finally got her first tooth, well actually two. I have not been able to capture them on film yet, but they are there on her center bottom (I probably knew at one time what their technical name was, but center bottom will have to do.)

The Next American Idol is .................

Sydney Holden. Daddy loves Karaoke sooooo much that he could not wait until Christmas. Sydney seems to be a natural. She loves to sing into the mike with the music.

Look No Brace!!

We had good news this Friday. We went to the ortho doc and had our x-rays and NO MORE BRACE!!!!! Which is such good news, but we are having fun learning to sleep at night without it.

Birmingham Friends

We went to Birmingham this past weekend and had a lot of fun playing with our friends. Of course I did not have the camera out when all 7 children were there playing, but here is one of Akash and Sydney having fun.

Keep away with Abby

Sydney has decided that she likes the soccer ball that Abby and Ace play with. She will now go after it if we aren't paying attention. Here we are trying to teach Abby to keep it away from her. Not quite successful yet. We will keep working on it (and the ball goes to the dishwasher in the meantime).

Pulling Up for Food

Sydney has learned to pull up and grab things (including the yogurt melts, peach flavored; Daddy thinks they are pretty good, too). Don't worry about it if she chokes. Daddy and Mommy are there to help out (or video it, whichever seems the funniest at the time). We are waiting for that $10K video. I think we'll get it if we just keep trying. More to come.

Trick or Treat????

TRICKS!!!!!!!!
We have been a little busy lately and have not had a chance to let everyone know about all of Sydneys new tricks. We can now clap, pull up on just about anything near her (she even tried my pant leg) and we finally say Mama!

Here we are just acting silly with our shirt on our head.

Here we are clapping. We love to clap when music comes on!

Happy Halloween!

We went over to some friend's neighborhood to trick or treat. They get all the neighborhood kids together on a hay ride to trick or treat to each house. What a great idea! Don't we have a cute Lady Bug!!

Enjoying the hay ride. Good thing this costume came with a hat. It was pretty cold once we started moving.

Where is that Reese's cup???? (that is what dad told me to look for).
