....but on days like today, I just have to wonder. Tonight I had her in the high chair, feeding her carrot puree, along with prune juice in her sippy cup (we're having poopy problems lately.....actually lack of poop is the problem), and Gerber Puffs. After she polished off about half the carrots, I ...

We had a really odd (but good) experience tonight. As you've seen mentioned on the message board before, there is another Sydney in Sydney's daycare class. Yes, in a class of 6 kids, there are two Sydney's. Our Sydney is Sydney M. and the other one is Sydney H. Sydney H. was born on October 21, thre...

I did a week's worth of laundry, and there wasn't one bib in it. Not one. Because Sydney didn't wear any bibs last week. Because she didn't need any bibs. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Sydney has stopped spitting up. I know I will probably jinx it by posting this, but in the last two weeks, I haven't s...

The term "wee beastie" was coined by Anton Von Leeuwenhoek, the inventor of the modern microscope and the discoverer of single-celled organisms. The first time he looked through a microscope and saw bacteria swimming around, he proclaimed that he had seen "wee beasties." I think I resurrected this t...

Sydney has recently started eating Gerber Puffs. They are a snack food for infants that look kind of like the non-marshmallow part of Lucky Charms. They melt in the mouth, so the baby can't choke on them. We've tried the puffs several times, and it resulted in much gagging and retching. Then on Tues...

Today Sydney and I were playing on her foam alphabet play mat. She was happily playing with her toys when suddenly she decided that the thing she wanted more than anything else in the world was the middle of the "O" on the play mat. She loves to pull up the foam letters out of the mat and chew on th...

Sydney is 100% better this morning! She slept all night until 7, and woke happy (except for a poopy diaper). She still seems a bit low on energy, but she played happily for 2 hours this morning. (Yesterday she was only up for an hour between naps.) Her fever is completely gone. We kept her home toda...

Sydney has the stomach flu! I had to pick her up early from daycare yesterday because she had diarrhea and had vomited twice. She also had a temperature of 100.5. I took her to the doctor and they said that it's most likely just a virus, and that she didn't seem too lethargic, so they weren't overly...

Tooth Number 2 made an appearance today!

Today my weekly baby digest email from babycenter.com informed me that now that Sydney is 6 months 3 weeks old, she's ready to start finger foods. Ummmm.....ok. I wasn't too sure about that, but I decided to give it a shot. I put her in her high chair and strapped on her protective plastic bib. I cu...
