Term of Endearment

I'm not exactly sure how or when it happened, but I've unofficially become "boo bear" to my mommy and daddy. Lovebug runs a close second! I'm just wondering how either of those is going to fit into my monogram...

How to Make a VERY Dirty Diaper

Step 1: Push, grunt, bear down... use any means necessary to make the #2 business come out. See demonstration below.


Step 2: Say ahhhh with great relief.....


Step 3: Watch in amusement as your parents endure the diaper change!

Pop Up!

My library collection is growing and growing. Over the holidays, I received a few classics like The Pokey Little Puppy, Pat the Bunny, and My Book About Me. Two of Santa's elves (GUP & GAP) gave me the most incredible version of The Night Before Christmas. All of the pages are perfectly crafted to make it an amazing pop-up book. I can't wait to take it to school for show and tell!

Scrub a Dub Dub

I wash my ears, wash my nose.

Wash my fingers and between my toes.

I wash my elbows, wash my knees.

I wash every little part of me!

Cuddle Bear

It's getting pretty chilly in the 'Nati. Tonight it is supposed to drop down to 23 degrees... brrrrr! I plan to keep warm in this super soft and incredibly cozy outfit!

I Got Jokes

What does a baby computer call his father???

Data!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I Take it Back...

Okay, I changed my mind. Being four months old isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Everybody failed to mention that this month's doctor visit would include FOUR sharp pokes from FOUR veeery long needles! OOOOOUCH! It's time for me to call it a day and sleep it off...

Bounce, Bounce Baby

The system pictured above is not just a toy, it is a super-mega-deluxe-ultra-supreme bouncer. Thanks to Grandma, I will never be bored again!! This unit comes equipped with 9 different toys, a 360 degree rotating seat, a plush flower mirror, electronic piano, music with six different melodies, a very convenient snack tray, and even a detachable water-filled teether. Thanks Grandma Deb!

I do like having toys to yank on, twirl, shake, and squeeze, but I loooove holding my daddy's hand the most...

1/3 Of A Year Old

I'm officially four months old today! Being three months old was pretty cool, but I'm moving on to bigger and better things in my fourth month. Here are some things that I look forward to this month:
~Giggles
~Hours of Peekaboo
~Rice Cereal
~More Tummy Time.... boooo!
~Finding a Valentine

Sooo Not Fair!

Let me give you a little scenario and you decide which sounds more appetizing.... Person A enjoys a delicious meal of swiss steak and dumplings (with mashed potatoes and green beans on the side). Person B drinks an exclusive milk-only dinner while having to watch Person A practically lick the plate and say things such as, "Wow, this is incredible!". Needless to say, NOT FAIR!

On the upside, I did get to spend the evening with Aunt Kari (the chef ), Aunt Katie, and Aunt Stacy!

14 Cents Per Diaper!

Every other Saturday, our family heads out for some bulk bargains at the local Costco Warehouse. Some of the items that we stock up on include diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies, and various household items. Daddy calls some of our purchases "impulse buys", but mommy says that they are "deals just too big to pass up!". It's hard to believe that 740 wipes were used to wipe my bottom in just over one month. It's pretty fair to say that I have one shiny heiney!

Indian Lake

I am heading up to Indian Lake for some relaxation and winter fun this weekend. According to the official Indian Lake website, the winter season offers a variety of activities including ice sailing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing. I'll be sure to post as soon as I return home!

Start of Something New

Is this my cousin Libby or Gabriella from High School Musical???!! It's so hard to tell. ;) I got Libby this dress up set for Christmas and it was a hit!

Do Re Mi Fa Soooo.....

I can really carry a tune (it sounds more like a hum)! Maybe someday I'll join the American Idol gang with Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, and Carrie Underwood. Although, I'm thinking that if I get my singing talents from my parents than I'll probably end up in this reel instead... http://www.americanidol.com/videos/?vid=831!

Fractured Fairy Tale

I possess a wonderful mirror which can answer me when I stand before it. I say, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall... who's the sassiest of them all?" The mirror answers, "You, dear Sydney, are the sassiest of them all," and I am contented because I know the mirror can speak nothing but the truth. :)

Wake-Up Call

I've had the "sleeping through the night" thing down real well UNTIL this week. I've been hearing the rooster crow around 4:30 am lately. Who needs the sun to be up?? Not me! My mom and dad seem less than enthusiastic about my early wake-up call and I'm beginning to notice some serious bags under their sleepy eyes...

The Keeping Quilt

After reading the story, The Keeping Quilt, my mommy's third grade class made me a very special quilt. Each of the students brought in a quilt square to make this thoughtful blanket. My mom has a pretty amazing group of students! This is definitely a quilt that I'll be keeping forever.

All Gums

Unfortunately these pictures don't showcase my dimples, but I am getting good at grinning! :)

T.G.I.F.

My Mimi and I planned a very special surprise for my mommy today. I surprised her at school during lunchtime! I could tell that she was soooo happy to see me!!! She kept saying, "This is the best surprise!" I got to meet her class, see her friends, and check out her school. Third grade looks very FUN!

Six

I'm not really into numerology, but the number six means many things to me. SIX is the number of...
~ naps I take throughout the day.
~ minutes it takes me to calm myself after a meltdown.
~ toes I have... oh wait... that's ten! (oops, I get confused)
~ aunt and uncles that I have.
~ times a day that my mommy calls to check in on me!
~ binkies that my mom and dad carry at all times.
