Sleepless in Bellingham???

Actually, Sydney has had a couple of really good nights of sleep. In fact, Tuesday night and Wednesday marked two full nights of sleep in a row. Not partial nights, but full nights that actually required her parents to wake her up the next morning! As great as it was to have a full night's sleep, it was also important to practice getting her up, as the coming years will be tested with "I don't want to go to school," and "just five more minutes"....all of the regular dialogue expressed by weary kids actually not wanting to get up :)

Aside from a couple of very restful nights (followed by one...let's just say not restful night), Sydney got to experience a new adventure this week. On Saturday, Sydney and her parents got to experiece the EMP...or for you folk not from around the Pacific Northwest, the Experience Music Project in Seattle. Sydney enjoyed the trip, and got to learn what real singing was about. She probably realizes now why she instinctively cringed when her parents would try to sing...and she was accurate to do so! There will be no members of the Fuller household trying out for American Idol...but that is ok, we can't be great at EVERYTHING!!!...haha!

November marked Sydney's 11 months of life outside the womb. This means one thing, that her big 1 year is fast approaching. In thinking of that, I thought it would be fun to do a 'then' and 'now' look at Sydney's life. In respect to that, I have shared a picture from her actual day of birth to a couple of pictures taken shortly after her 11 month birthday. To make this comparison as scientific and to scale as possible, we are providing pictures of Sydney wearing the same stocking hat that she wore on the day of her birth. I'm not sure that I see much of a difference, but I'll let you be the judge of that :)

Unfortunately, there is no tip
of the week this week. If you are a new parent and rely on the wisdom and guidance we provide, we apologize for any inconvenience. Actually, we are just making most of it up anyhow. We wish you the best of luck in parenting this week, and hope that the absence of our education (if you can call it that) does not lead you astray. Some random words of wisdom until next week (although not 'baby' related)...don't eat farmed fish, don't drink foldgers, and don't eat yellow snow. We hope this helps your earthly experience in some way until we resume our tips next week.

And just for the record...Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!
