Thanksgiving

We went to Nashville for Thanksgiving.
Sydney did great on the ride up... she got a bit fussy for a few minutes, but that was because we were making her wait til we got a little further down the road before stopping for food. So you can't blame her. I get cranky when I am hungry too.

We had a great time hanging out with family... Sydney was able to see her great grandparents, and lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Watching football with Daddy
I love this picture. I was trying to get a few things done so I gave Sydney to Dan and she cuddled with him like this for a long time watching football.

Hanging out in her great grandparents backyard before the weather turned COLD.

Sydney, Mommy and GreatGrandma
Sydney was more interested in eating her bib than looking at the camera. Oh well.

Turkey Butt.

Hmm. Somehow THIS was the only picture I got of the actual Thanksgiving meal. Oops. Suffice it to say, the food was yummy and it was great to see family.

Post-meal tv watching.

Followed by a post-meal nap.

The ride back home from Nashville was a bit more challenging... Sydney doesn't like her car seat and she was very vocal about it. I think she screamed for a good 2+ hours of the ride home. Fun times. She did manage to fall asleep about 5 miles before we got home.

7 months

Sydney turned 7 months old on Thanksgiving day....

She kept leaning forward (she was sitting on the bed and I guess she was having trouble balancing?) so it is kind of hard to see the candles on her shirt. They are there. All 7 of them. We're going to run out of room really soon though... oh well, a problem for another month :)

My Blue Eyed Girl

Y'all, I am so behind on posts, it's not even funny.... So, I am going to try to get caught up today. Be on the lookout for several new posts today.

But for now....

Sneak Peek....

We got 6 month pictures taken of Sydney... The final pics are on their way to us, but here is a sneak peek:

Half Birthday

I can't believe that our little girl is 6 months old already!

We went to the doctor for our check-up yesterday. Little Miss is 15 pounds, 14 ounces (49th %) and 25.5 inches long (42nd %). And her head circumference is 16.75 inches (54th %).

6 months old!

Who is this big kid just hanging out in the chair?!

Bella was curious and had to come see what was going on.

Cutest baby ever! :)

All those pictures can make a little girl tired. :)

Sydney and Bella

Bella and Sydney have a special relationship... Sydney LOVES to watch Bella and Bella loves to lick Sydney.

"Hi!"

"Come here. I need to pet you on the nose."

"You have a little something right here... I'll get it for you."

"What, mom? We're not doing anything wrong."

Yes, I know this one doesn't have Bella in it, so it really doesn't go with the post. But she's cute. And it's my blog. So I get to put it up here anyways. :)

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch this past weekend; Sydney loved it. She spent most of trip in the baby carrier just looking around, kicking her feet and 'talking'.

"Ohhhh look - a little baby pumpkin."

"Hey Mom, do you see this? Can I take it home?"

Little Cowgirl

Our Scarecrow

Of course, the best part of the pumpkin patch is coming home to carve the pumpkins. I love carving pumpkins; Dan has always participated in the pumpkin carving by coming over just in time to tell me that my finished product looks great. But this year, he got in on the fun. Sydney 'helped' by playing in her jumper in the hallway :)

The finished products.... Daddy pumpkin on the left, Mommy pumpkin on the right. And baby pumpkin next to Mommy's.
