New Pictures

There are a couple new pictures over at Picturetrail.

I have a feeling Anne probably won't like this one because of the look on her face, but it's a great picture of Sydney "standing."

Sydney 'Standing'

Not too much else to report. We're trying to get Sydney started on a little more solid foods. We have had her on the "stage 2" foods for a while now. Anne tried a "stage 3" with her on Thursday night and she didn't like it. We're not sure if she didn't like the taste or if it was the texture and she didn't like it and/or was having a hard time with it. (It was macaroni and cheese.)

Attempts with giving her Cheerios have not been successful. Well, actually they have. She takes them. She just won't eat them. And if we try to put one in her mouth she spits it out. (We've actually been very lucky because Sydney so far is not a "pick it up and put it in my mouth" baby. I'm sure that phase is coming, though.)

Previous attempts with a baby cookie have been unsuccessful until Thursday night. Previous times she didn't like the cookie and didn't know what to do with it. Thursday she started the same way. Then Anne held it in her mouth (and put it back in when she spit it out.)

These cookies are designed for babies just learning to eat solids. After a little bit they get really soft and mushy to help them learn how to chew. Once the cookie got soft and mushy Sydney loved it. She wouldn't let it go. And she smushed it up and got it on her clothes. And in her hair. And on Anne's clothes. (Some of that happened on Friday when she got another one.)

I have yet to witness this, but hope to see it Saturday and maybe take a picture or two.

For those of you waiting for your professional pictures, they haven't been mailed yet. Sorry. The week didn't go as I had hoped. But doing the final packing (everything is ready, just need to be packed up and then mailed) is on our agenda for this weekend. (The first weekend in five months without football. ARGH!)

And last but not least, check out the new link over on the right. "Ask A Ninja" is a funny blog by, well, a ninja. He answers questions. The answers are in the form of videos, so this isn't something for the non-broadband crowd. It is a Blogger blog, though, so the videos are linked. You can go check out the site without any undo wear and tear on your connection.

And if you are on dial-up and have a little spare time, the videos are definitely worth downloading. They are hilarious.

Anne looks great, just like the loving mom she is. And, Sydney? What a doll. We hope to see you sometime in the next six or so weeks.

Ooooh, those first days without football. We are used to Monday Night Football and rarely watch on weekends. I guess we'll have to get cable.

This was a typical a Sunday at my house in LV before Anne and John moved.
Helena: wakes up and turns on football.
Phone: ring!
Helena: Hello (knowing darn well who is calling).
Anne: It's me. What are you doing.
Helena: watching foodball.
Anne: Us too. "sigh"
Helena: (as neither Steelers nor 49'ers are playing) Do you want to come over and we can go shopping.
Anne: Ok!
Hope you folks had a lovely weekend!!!
