Many many photos!

The Birthday

John Denver Moment of 2010

First Halloween!!!

We had a Wizard of Oz theme this year, as evident by the lovely Dorothy below. Maya wore adorable pigtails and received many compliments on her Toto. Sully went as the Lion, (his little tail was soooo cute). Sully loved the whole thing-from headpiece to weird costume-and was such a good sport!


Pre-Halloween Snack!

Fall Fun!!

As a note to the following: Riley and Max came over. Riley had toast. Sully wanted the toast. Sully took the toast and was subsequently tackled by Riley. Sully was undeterred and finished toast.

Funny Baby

Hi Dad

9 month check up at 10 months

Sully is such a happy good baby-he is just a great little boy. He really enjoys walking with his baby walker, (see below). He also enjoys walking while supported by boxes, foot rests, chairs, car seats, cats, mommies, Mayas, card board, and large toys.

He loves to say "Momma", "Dadda", and "Hi" while waving. It makes conversation difficult-but it is super super cute.

At his 9 month check up:

Height: 28 1/2 Inches-48th Percentile

Weight: 20 pounds-40th Percentile

Head: 47.2 cm-85th Percentile

The head thing makes clothes shopping difficult.

Stoic baby, (see above and below)
It has been said that there is nothing cuter than a baby sleeping with a baby bum in the air, but I would like to suggest that there is nothing cuter than a sleepy baby at 5 AM in footie pajamas.

Back to Pokey Ladies

Sullly woke up this morning with some pretty irregular breathing-we got concerned and ended up in the ER with him. Turns out his pnemonia has been lingering and he just hasn't been complaining.
And now we are spending the day/night/morning?day?, at the hospital. Sully has borne it with his usual cheerful nature, (with the exception of rampant screaming whenever a nurse touches him). He is very sleepy, very lovey, and shows a deep abiding loyalty to his taggie blanket.

He has also said "momma" so very clearly that Jason admits he is talking.

Too Cute

Last Saturday night the family took a road trip to Mount Vernon to dine at the Lincoln Cafe. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone was happy and having a great time.

Only a baby can wear sweet potatoes all over his face and remain adorable. Sullivan, I think, is aware when he's having his photo taken. He's becoming very photogenic. I joke that we should take him to Hollywood. Can't you see his face on the side of a bag of Pampers.

On the Mend

Sad Baby Bunny!

Sully has been sick for a while now, and we have been to the doctor's office many many times this week. The final diagnosis: pink eye, ear infection, and pneumonia. All of us are now on antibiotics.

Throughout this process, Sully has become more and more verbose in expressing his distaste for the ladies in white. Not only screaming at them, but telling them in great detail exactly what he thinks of them. He has been one sad little bunny.

Sytsma Family Reunion

The Sully "Danger" Sytsma Blog

Only days after learning how to pull himself up, Sully has catapulted himself in to a world of acrobatic wonder. When picking him up from daycare, I was told I needed to sign an accident report. Sully cut his little lip climbing a kitchen, (????), and apparently went over said kitchen.

I was told that he may eat less as a result of his little lip-I asked them if they had ever met my baby. It now seems like we have entered a whole new world of baby activity.
