We went to California last week to see my sister Katie and her husband Jared, his brother Dan, and their dog Bernie. We had a great time visiting with them and exploring the coast. The Monterey Peninsula was beautiful. The water was so clear and blue, it was was breathtaking. We did the 17 Mile Drive through Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, etc. It was neat to see all those golf courses with such a beautiful view of the ocean. We went to Carmel and explored the neat shops in the cottages and enjoyed a sunset walk on the beach with everyone including Bernie. I think Sydney really liked the ocean. We also drove to Big Sur. It's so neat to see the mountains just drop off into the ocean there. It's incredible. We then drove up to San Francisco and rode a cable car and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge. The trip was so fun and Sydney did so great traveling.
Sydney had her 4 month doctor's visit today. She is now 14 lbs 14 ounces (75th percentile) and is 25 1/2 inches long (90th percentile). Looks like she's going to be tall like her daddy. Sydney also gets to start solids. We'll start with rice cereal for about a week and then start adding fruits and veggies one at a time. We'll be sure to post pics and videos of that! I was expecting the doctor to tell us to start solids soon, but when she actually said it, I almost cried. I was kind of surprised by that and held back the tears, but I guess just hearing her say that and picturing little Sydney eating with a spoon, made me realize she's growing up. I catch myself every now and then saying, "I can't wait until..." and I have to stop and say, "No Natalie don't say that. Enjoy every minute of it now."
Here are just a few of the pictures we took from our trip.
