2nd 2nd Birthday

Here are some photos from Sylvia's 2nd 2nd birthday party, this time in Chicago:

Birthday

Sept. 24, 2008

Sylvia officially turned two today. She celebrated with pancakes and two candles this morning. She also had a visit to her pediatrician who sang Happy Birthday to Sylvia. Sylvia's new stats:

She was 6 lbs. 13 ozs. at birth and now weighs 26 lbs.
She was 21 inches at birth and is now 36 and 1/2 inches.

We spent the afternoon in the park with friends and Sylvia had lots of phone calls from family and friends. Luke and Cindy sent her a pair of chopsticks from Japan; Dede sent ballet slippers; Eric and Monica sent name labels for her sippy cups; and Sylvia is still playing with her amazing collection of toys she was generously given while celebrating in Mississippi - backhoes, puzzles, and Mr. Potato Heads.

Happy Birthday, Sylvia!

Birthday Party, Mississippi-style

Here are some pics from Sylvia's 2nd birthday party in Mississippi.

Baby Clark

We got to meet Quin tonight. He's a healthy, handsome, sleepy little fella. Congratulations, Sabrina & Nathan!

Tybee Island Video

We've put together a short video of our beach adventures on Tybee Island, GA over Labor Day weekend:

Savannah Slideshow

We've put together a little slideshow of highlights from our trip to Savannah/Tybee Islad over Labor Day weekend. Uncle Will and Aunt Heather recently moved. Will has joined a cardiology practice and Heather is trying to stay cool waiting for the new baby to arrive.

The heat and humidity was a little tough on us Chicagoans but the beautiful city and the great beach helped us recover.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth...Has Arrived

So, we thought we were in the clear - that so called 6 day incubation period seems to not hold true. Sylvia has been incubating now since August 15 and well, her little toes, bottom, and hands are covered. They leave the "bottom" part out of the name of this virus (perhaps, to keep parents hopeful).

She is being kept comfortable and is lucky not have sores in her mouth. Hopefully, all those kids on the United flight from Savannah to Chicago are not experiencing some of Sylvia's Hand, Foot, Mouth, and Bottom right now.

Ice Cream Cone

Sylvia eats her first ice cream cone.



Yes, we have photos and video to post from Labor Day weekend in Savannah. It's coming soon.
