The Uptons: November 2012
http://blakeandamandaupton.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Happy 2nd Birthday, Sydney! This probably sounds odd, but this year's birthday has been more emotional for me than her first. When she turned one, she was still a baby to me, especially because she wasn't walking yet or even crawling. Now she is a little girl; a sweet, talkative, kind-hearted little girl whom I love more everyday. She was a little apprehensive about them moving and making sounds, but quickly got over it and kept saying "wanna see more dinosaurs! She continues...

The Uptons: Hand Doctor Visit: Part III
http://blakeandamandaupton.blogspot.com/2011/01/hand-doctor-visit-part-iii.html
Sunday, January 23, 2011. Hand Doctor Visit: Part III. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33. X-rays this time were much faster yet much more difficult. Sydney cried basically the whole time. She had three X-rays taken of each hand. The lady that took them was very fast but patient with Sydney as she screamed her little head off. Luckily, we didn't have to redo any. Posted by The Uptons.

Saturday, April 13, 2013. We have taken advantage of the weather by going to several of the parks near our house. We have especially come to enjoy going to the Yates Mill Pond Park.

The Uptons: Hand Update- 3 1/2 Months Post Surgery
http://blakeandamandaupton.blogspot.com/2011/08/hand-update-3-12-months-post-surgery.html
Monday, August 15, 2011. Hand Update- 3 1/2 Months Post Surgery. Last Friday we headed to UNC for another followup visit with Sydney's surgeon, as well as an appointment with her physical therapist. Her surgeon, Dr. Patterson, went on maternity leave a month or so following her surgery and wanted to see us upon her return. Her left hand does look amazing, to me. Her fingers are so straight, the nails look pretty good, I really couldn't ask for them to look any better. Waiting for Dr. Patterson. Blake and...

Sunday, March 17, 2013. Yes, that really is snow. Checking out the snow. Posted by The Uptons. Labels: Just for fun. This year Sydney loved telling everyone "Happy Valentine's Day", and continued saying it for several days afterward. We had fun making cookies and decorating them with friends as well as giving and receiving Valentines. As sappy as it is, I love any reason for telling each other how much love we have! A Valentine for Daddy. Decorating cookies with friends. Posted by The Uptons. Hand Update...

The Uptons: Syndactyly: Sydney's unique hands
http://blakeandamandaupton.blogspot.com/2010/11/syndactyly-sydneys-unique-hands.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Syndactyly: Sydney's unique hands. Once the ultrasound showed the probability that Sydney had syndactyly (the doctors would not guarantee 100% that she did), so began a range of emotions and appointments. We immediately met with a genetic counselor who drew out our family histories. The very interesting thing (and bear with me on the logistics of this one) is that both. Blake's paternal grandparents' bloodlines carry syndactyly. How's that for genetic make-up and luck? I have t...

The Uptons: Surgery Day
http://blakeandamandaupton.blogspot.com/2011/04/surgery-day.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Happy baby in her crib! Arriving at the hospital. When we arrived at UNC things were busy from the get go, but time seemed to go by incredibly slow. We checked Sydney in, signed some papers, and had a few minutes to visit with friends Dianne and Pete (who were so incredibly kind to stop by) before we were called back to the pre-op area. In my hospital gown.

The Uptons: July 2012
http://blakeandamandaupton.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Our local library recently had a "Touch a Truck" day. They had a fire truck, a bulldozer, a tractor, and a dump truck. Sydney was not scared to get on the trucks and actually enjoyed it a little more than I expected! Posted by The Uptons. I took some "before" pictures and now I need to take some "afters" and will post as soon as I do! Look what we found when unpacking! In the new playroom. Posted by The Uptons. Sydney v. 1.10. She calls a basketball a "biscuit"ball. She still does...
