Trip to Kuala Lumpur

Sydney 6 Weeks & Trip to Kuala Lumpur

Sydney turns 6 weeks today. Monday we boarded a plane for Kuala Lumpur. You can tell from the photo below that she was very upset by this. :) She slept on a pillow on my lap for the whole 2 hour flight until I woke her to eat before we took an hour cab ride to the hotel - she slept in the cab also. What a great little traveler!

We are in KL to get her passport & birth certificate from the US Embassy tomorrow. Kenny has a monthly class in KL so we piggy backed this trip & he is working at the office here this week while Sydney & I enjoy the modern conveniences of a big bustling city - like shopping! We hit Baby Gap & Motherhood yesterday. Mommy here has learned to shop at the stores you WANT to hit FIRST - don't lollygag around & then hit the stores because by then you might have a cranky baby who is hungry & have to find a dressing room to feed her in. Ahem. :) So today we are going to shop first - browse second! She is doing great in her Bjorn carrier (thanks Jan & Steve & Rebecca!) as long as I feed her first...we get lots of looks.

We fly back to Miri on Friday & are hoping for the same sleepy Sydney but you never know.....time to feed sweet Syd & hit the mall. New photos below!


Sydney on her first plane ride - that's my lap she's lying in.





Syd partying it up at dinner last night - before she woke up & demanded to be fed too!


Syd at home after her bath - which she loves! She still isn't sure of what to do with her hands.

Sydney is 5 Weeks Old Today!


Happy 5 week birthday Sydney!

Here is a photo from today above - she has such big eyes & tries so hard to focus them - like in this shot - so hard she crosses them. They are the coolest color too - a dark blue/gray.

She's getting much more active but still has the favorite pass times of sleeping & eating. We are getting ready to take her next week to Kuala Lumpur - her first travel adventure - to get her social security card & passport at the US Embassy. Taking a 6 week old on a plane should be fun (haha). She & I are practicing using our Bjorn carrier so we can get some shopping done in "the land of magic"!

Photos below are from the past week - Thanks to Robby & Clair for the swing - she loves it for at least 10 minutes at a time (which for her is a long time)!

She is kicking like crazy so today I got her some toys for her ankles to help her find her feet with her hands.
