Here's the link to his profile in the University.

Medicine Soothers

Sydney recently had tonisillitis which meant medicine. We tried everything possible to get her to take her medicine and swallow more then she spit out. What ended up working best was a medicine soother we bought when she was a couple months old to give her colic medicine. This made the 5 days of medicine somewhat managable. Sorry that the picture is fuzzy - but you get the idea of what it looks like.

Sydney & Destiny

Sydney's little friend Destiny - often called "Desty" is going back to America. Sydney is not happy over this news. Sydney and Destiny have been getting together to play since January of this year. So before Destiny and her mom headed we spent a day at the zoo with the girls. They loved it, they had tons of fun chasing each other and running ahead of everyone else. It was a very sad good-bye when the day was over. Hopefully we can keep in contact over skype. Here are some pictures from their many adventures together.

Syd's Shoes

So Syd needed some new slippers and we were having a hard time getting some in her size, so I decided I would try to make her a pair. They turned out to be pretty easy and they don't look too bad. Plus the best thing is Syd loves them, she wasn't happy when I took them off to take the picture.

The word of the week

Syd's newest word is Shower, she gets really excited
when we say the word, just take a look. So needless
to say she showers almost daily here.

Syd's Dress

Here is our attempt at a picture of Syd in her dress that I made, she wasn't very cooperative when it came to having a picture taken. But you get the idea of what the dress looks like.

Weekend Sewing

Here is a picture of my finished weekend project. I went through some of the matieral that was bought and never started. So I decided to make a skirt for myself friday when Syd took a nap. Then Saturday I decided to make Syd a matching dress and the bottoms to go with it. I am quite impressed with myself seeing as everything was made without patterns.
