zoo video

So I'm trying to get better w/ the videos. Here's one that I took at the zoo when we were feeding the giraffes.

bowl head and trip to the zoo

Sydney has discovered the fun of playing w/ mixing bowls. We were having fun w/ her while we ate.

Also, we took a trip to the Miami zoo w/ friends Marnie, Jillian, Stephanie, Mikey and Justin yesterday. We all had fun!!

Jillian and Sydney ready to go!

Both Sydney and Jill pointing to some kind of antelope.

Getting sleepy.

Had tons of fun...can't wait to go back.

Not much been going on over the last few weeks. We did have Mom and John come to visit for a few days while they were attending a friends wedding at the beach. It was great to have them here and thankful they were able to make it in and out even w/ the horrible travel they had to endure! Sydney is really enjoying her swim classes and is becoming quite the little fish! ; ) It's been really hot here and just trying to find ways to stay cool while not going stir crazy by staying inside all day!

Here are a few pics from the last few weeks.

Here she is playing in the fountain at Merrick Park. These were taken w/ Mike's phone, which then got wet of course!



Looking mischievous as always.


The tantrums have started. This one was b/c I wouldn't hold her cup of milk for her...geez!
She finally gave in and held it herself, but now looks so pathetic w/ the one tear!!
Such a faker...now happy.

So proud of herself to be eating a banana all by herself.

Trip to Cali

Last week we made our first trip back to California in 11months. Traveling w/ Sydney was VERY different then last summer! ; ) She did great on the flights.

She also did great staying w/ Mom and John while Mike and I went up to Allie's wedding in San Francisco for the weekend. It was my first time away from her, and I think we both held up well. ; ) Mom and John took her to the SD Zoo for the first time and she had a blast. They also went back to the neighborhood park. Everyone had a wonderful weekend.



Sydney got to see her great-aunt Lisa before I left for SF.

Her favorite activity, up and down the gazebo stairs. She did it at least 100x a day!

The perfect seat.

Sharing her new seat w/ Grandma.

The park down the street was a hit!

Can you tell she was having fun?!?!

When in the Bay Area Mike and I went up to visit his first school, Sonoma State. It was a beautiful campus, but I think it was smaller than Mike remembered. ; ) Here he is posing in front of the dorm room he shared w/ Jerry.

Then we went to Sausalito. The views were amazing of SF and Alcatraz. Of course I made Mike pose for another cheesy picture.
