Happy baby!



Emily Post would not approve



Sydney is a big fan of the sweet potatoes with corn.
Notice her fangs.

Little Mountain



Sydney's first real rock.
Our Sunday afternoon trek at Horticulture Park was short, but Syd saw her first fish and/or tadpoles. Brian thought they were tadpoles and my guess was fish. I am not sure if it matters because who knows if she actually saw them from the bridge :)

Bon voyage Matt!

Our friend Matt is leaving Purdue this weekend to begin his doctorate at University of Michigan. Pretty impressive ... not because of the high-quality university he is attending but because he will be blocks from Zingermann's - the world's best deli! The chocolate cake is amazing.

Here are some photos (courtesy of Kat) from Matt's birthday celebration this May.

Karah, Sydney and Kevin. Kat named this one "Lil Lush." Sydney took quite an interest in the wine bottles.

May Flowers

Here are some favorite photos from May. Sydney is 4.5 months old.

Practicing the pout:

We visited the Indy Zoo on Mother's Day. It was our first big outing with Sydney so we kept the trip simple. As you can see, she was impressed.



Backyard visitor:

These photos also highlight Brian's photography skills and his sense of humor. He sent this photo to me claiming this creature was spotted in our backyard :).




Baby beluga:

Sydney tolerates 'tummy time.'




Gourmet toes:


We were obviously running behind on her feeding schedule.



Sensory overload courtesy of Baby Einstein:

Sydney's beloved exersaucer. It has everything - color, sounds (in English and Spanish) and activities. Baby Einstein products are certainly well branded. When selecting Syd's first toothbrush, we reasoned that the Baby Einstein version - which was .80 cents more - must be best. Of course, that cute little turtle on the handle will help keep Syd's fangs extra clean :)




The throne:
