Our Trip to Canada

During the first two weeks of September we were in Canada. Kerry (Kelly's sister) was getting married. It was a nice wedding but I will talk about that later.

The flight was long but Sydney sleep nearly 4 hours during the transatlantic flight. She has absolutely no problem travelling. The only thing she hates is customs. Every time we had to wait, or put her in the buggy, or take her out of the buggy for screening she was .... well lets say, she was a loud girl.

The first few days were very warm and sunny. We went to a nearby park with fountains, sand, and grass. She loved walking in the sand, was a bit unsure of what to think of the picky grass, and loved holding onto daddy when running through the water. We sure had a lot of fun.

The weather for rest of the time in Timmins wasn't that great so Sydney stayed inside or went for walks in the mall. One night Kerry picked her up to babysit, so we could go on a date. Well, it was more a shopping trip with dinner at Wendy's, but it was fun and we enjoyed our time alone. Kerry and Sydney had a blast. They love each other. I guess Kerry won Sydney's heart by having screaming contests. Every time they were together they would scream at each other. I think I even got headaches once in a while from them.
We had one big problem while we were in Canada. Sydney hated the food. We tried different kinds of baby food but she didn't like it. When we gave her a spoonful she gagged and stopped eating and drinking until her mouth was empty. So all we could do was feed her fruit, milk and Cheerios. Everyday we tried something new but she never ate it properly even homemade food. Once we were back in Germany she was so happy to have her "Good German Food" again. She ate fine again from the first day.

During the two weeks Sydney took over the living room little by little. By the end of the two weeks she was the Boss in there. She had so many big toys in such a small room that it was nearly impossible to cross the room without stepping on something. I guess Grandma loves her a lot for allowing that, but when I think about it our living room doesn't look much better.
