Sydney: November 11

Another update on Sydney:




We’ve enjoyed having Sydney’s Popo (Chinese grandmother) in town for a week. She’s on Vancouver Island now, taking a mini-vacation from us on her three week stay in Vancouver. This weekend, Sydney’s great-grandmother and her Auntie Christina are in town.

It’s been great having family around. We’ve quickly learned that having people over for quick visits turns out to be nightmarish (Bren and Kerrie, sorry that you were the guinea pigs). We’ve learned that Sydney really needs her quiet feeding and “easy-stimulation” time on the weeknights. Unfortunately, that means that every time that daddy reads her a book, she falls asleep (verifying what Sara, Gillian, Alison, and all my old soccer players made be realize… my talks put people to sleep).

Mom’s doing great, other than adopting Yvonne’s mindset of being “cow-like”… literally. Mom is a natural at giving baths to Sydney and product testing a variety of baby gear (Ben & Kim, thanks for the Baby Bjorn… we’re only testing it and haven’t actually used it as you’ll see). She sends her best to the UBC gang, though she’s wondering why she can’t log-in remotely anymore (hehheh).

More pictures including:
- Sydney with her visiting relatives, including Christina changing diapers!
- A little Sydney nudity… WARNING cute baby naked.
