Home Front...All Sectors Secure!

The upstairs gate and the downstairs gates are finally in, and secure! They have passed the 'Sydney' test...as she rattled them with all of the force her strong little arms could muster. And she has duly annointed them...of course by licking each individual bar. My thought was that if she couldn't get through the gate with her brute force, that perhaps she believes she can lick her way through the bars. Let's hope they serve their intended function.

Sydney has continued to practice her standing, and her walking. With the assistance of her borrowed radio flyer push wagon, she is becoming faster and faster. She can also stand for 10-20 second on her own; I'm sure will be walking, running, and skipping in no time.
Sydney had a busy social week. Friday night Sydney got to spend some quality time with her friend Maggie. She had some great convos and shared some fun playtime. Later, Sydney was even fortunate enough to take Maggie's ride (walker) for a spin. She thought that was a great time. Saturday night Grandma Gloria and Cousin Thomas watched her for a few hours, so they got to talk about upcoming events, like Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. And on Sunday, Sydney got to spend time with YaYa Sherri and Uncle Alex. Sydney even got to talk to Nana Donna over the telephone...what great times. What more could a ten month old fit into the weekend?!

Sydney looks forward to carving pumpkins this week with her parents. It's an experience she's never had, and she's excited that the upcoming event features so much of her favorite color!...and that's orange, of course!!!

In other random infant news, Sydney has become very proficient at clapping, and pulls out her new ability when she is very excited. She has also begun to eat pretty much whatever lies on her parents plates, in addition to her continued bottles. So, tonight, she gladly consumed some teriyaki chicken!

Tip #14: New Financial Investments
Having a child can be an expensive endeavor. But, if you play your cards right you can actually make some small financial gains. Having a child opens up your mind to a world of products that may have been previously hidden. You may come to realize that investing in some of these baby products, like Neosporin (what mom doesn’t carry this product with her???), may pay nice dividends in the long run. You might as well see a small return on your investment.
