Daycare

Among
the fun activities Sydney participates in each day are finger painting and buggy riding. Daycare was kind enough to take a couple shots that the parents could take home and here are some gems. How she didn't come home yellow we'll never know.

Camera Phone

I
can't imagine how much better life is documented now with the advent and wide use of camera phones. It's so easy to snap away, and while not up to printing caliber yet or even in focus sometimes, they are great for remembering a quick moment. Here's a couple I've caught recently, the first a product of boredom while waiting the twenty minutes in a small room for Sydney's eyes to dilate at the eye doctor office. In the second, a trip to the bookstore was a perfect excuse to stand and survey all the fun things around her.

Chew it Up

The onset of quite a few teeth has had a couple of results. One is that Sydney will now actually chew Cheerios, but then upon mashing it up realizes she doesn't like the consistency and spits out the mush. The other is that she grinds her teeth which drives me crazy. Worse than nails on a chalkboard, I actually stick in her pacifier because I can't take the horrible sound. I'm surprised something that sounds so awful doesn't hurt but I guess she knows her limits. I grind my teeth at night and the dentist swears it's stress related. I can only hope an eleven month old isn't stressed or we're doing something terribly wrong.
