Little Duck, Big Pumpkins

If she had any nails left she might be chewing on them.........

We need to find her a chair, because she loves sitting on this little cart!!

Ready to join the offensive line if they need her!!

Daddy has been down in Eugene for the last 3 Saturdays enjoying duck football, so Sydney and I have been watching the games together!! She mainly runs around the house while I cheer and clap!! I know there are tons of parents that take their little kids to games, but the thought of trying to entertain her for 3 1/2 hours at a football game scares me to death.

Let's just say she is going to have to wait awhile to visit Autzen!

It is Finally Fall

We Finally made it to Al's to get our pumpkins. Seriously if you live anywhere near an Al's Garden World they have the most smoken deal on Pumpkins. If you buy 10 they are only $0.99 each. David saw some at Safeway for $4.99. What a rip!! Our strategy this year was to get as many big ones as we could, hoping that Sydney wouldn't be able to pick them up!! So far, so good!!

Just one year ago.......

It's hard to believe

Our little pumpkin

Is not so little......

You'll notice she does not have a lolli pop, just a couple craisins!!!

Enjoy this yummy fall weather!!

Lolli Pop Lolli Pop

Clipping Sydney's nails has never been a breeze, but with a silly song or two and a toy to distract her we have managed to keep them under control. This is no longer the case!!! It may be a horrible tactic, but I have taken to bribery!! She kept the little pink sucker tucked awkwardly under her tongue for the most part. Pink, sticky, drool rolled off her chin, covering her once white shirt.

Happy as a clam!!!!!

Until mommy took away her precious new treat

I have created a monster!!

The bag of suckers is only to be used for the most desperate times....... Baths, diaper changes,walks, nap-time, dinner, car rides, story time, pictures....... I can see how this could quickly get out of hand! I may have to re-think the suckers!

Is it fall yet??

This picture was probably taken right before she ripped the glasses off one of our faces, or hit us with one of her toys, because she looks wayyyy to sweet. She is starting to learn NO, and even shakes her head when she knows she shouldn't be doing something, but she can be a little stinker sometimes. She especially loves to pull my hair, which really hurts. She starts laughing and comes back for more as soon as I get her little hands free.

Sydney was trying to feed Toby a bowl from her tea set. He is definitely more excitied about all of the food she throws off her tray, but he gave it a good chomp. Unfortunately it was a good enough chomp to break her bowl........ Sydney spends much of her day crawling on Toby, attempting to throw his toys, dropping snacks for him, pulling on his ears and fur, (I feel his pain)and chasing him around the house. The poor guy has a lot of years of this ahead of him..... Sorry Toby!!!

Are you sure it isn't time for fall??

Sydney is all about reading books these days. This book about pumpkins is one of her favorites!!! Thanks Aunt Jen! We did start the fall decorating this weekend, but David decided that it was too early to go and buy pumpkins... Go Figure!!! The poor kid doesn't even have a chance does she???
