A Few New Shots

Eating Sweet Potatoes

Feeding herself

Nap Time

Grandma Louise got Sydney this little bonnet.
Isn't she cute!

Not Much To Say

Just a little update so you know we are all still kickin'. Sydney is doing great, she is a little rollie pollie. We had to get a bumper for her crib this weekend, because she likes rolling so much she was getting stuck between the mattress and crib slats. Not a great position to sleep in.

She is now a huge fan of sweet potatoes and avocado mush. Daddy fed her this weekend and she ate two cubes of sweet potatoes. "It was less messy than I thought!" A relieved statement from Daddy.

A scary thing happened to us on Friday. I was taking Scamper and Sydney for a walk and just two houses up from us on our way home, we were attacked by two dogs. Scamper did not know what was going on and I just kept pulling his leash trying to runaway. Of course Sydney freaked out from all the growling and yelling from me. So we ran the rest of the way home and waited for Daddy to get home so he could go tell the neighbors to keep their dogs in the fence. Lucky there was no injuries and Sydney is not afraid of Scamper.

We hope all our readers are having a blessed Monday and I will try and remember to take some updated pictures of the family.

New First

Sydney has rolled over for the first time. I took her to Early Birds story time at the Hoover Library this morning and after singing and playing I laid her on the floor to clean up and "Bloop!!" (that is the sound I make when she rolls over!) She is still laying on one arm and doesn't seem to know how to get it out yet and she is not so sure how to roll back on to her back, but I am soon this will come in no time and I will be running all around chasing her.

My little girl is growing so fast. She also looks very proud of herself and is enjoying the new view from her belly. We hope everyone is having a blessed week.

time flies when your having fun

We took new pictures of Sydney last night eating her first rice cereal meal and I realized I have not posted anything new in almost a month.

Well we have been super busy and having a blast with Sydney. For Labor Day weekend we drove to Lexington, Kentucky to meet Eric's parents. Lexington was a good half way point for both of us and we also were able to explore a new city. Lexington's downtown was very clean and they had revitalized all the old buildings. We had a great meal and had the best cornbread, which we got the recipe for. Also, Lexington we visited the Kentucky Horse Park, where they have over 40 breeds of horse. We watched a breeders show and got to meet the horses after. Sydney was not so sure about all of it, but she did touch her first horse.



We all had a great time at the park and enjoyed our time with each other. Sydney also went swimming for the first time (those are on Grandma's camera, we'll get them soon).

Then the next weekend my folks decided last minute they wanted some grandparent time, so they drove out Friday and spent the weekend. We had a blast with Scamper on Saturday at the Alabama War Dog Festival. Scamper was a huge hit with all the crowds and I think he was the only dog that didn't bark!

This weekend Kariann and Seth came to Birmingham for a high school friend's wedding and stayed with us. We went to the Greek Festival Saturday night and ate some yummy food. Sunday I took Kariann and Seth to Aldridge Gardens and took some engagement photos. Sydney also had her first taste of rice cereal and she did really well with it. She only spit at me a few times!



We have had a busy month and we have enjoyed spending so much time with our family, but we are exhausted! I have posted a bunch of photos on the photo album, check them out.

Love the Thealls!
