Favorite place

One of Sydney's new favorite places to hang out is in our bedroom closet.  She definitely knows her way around the house!  She will hurry her little butt into the closet and sit in there and laugh.  She likes to hide behind the clothes and play with our shoes.  What a silly girl!  

Brushing teeth

Sydney has 2 teeth now!  We need to get in the habit of brushing them.  Our first attempt was a success!  She let Brian brush her teeth and gums and then of course she had to hold the brush and suck off the remaining toothpaste.  Hopefully she will always be a good brusher!

Walking

Sydney is getting pretty brave with her standing and walking skills.  If she is distracted she will stand up on her own until she realizes that she is doing it.  Then she gets scared and sits down.  She also scooches along furniture and the fridge and cabinets in the kitchen.  I'm afraid to say it but I think she will be walking on her own before long!

 

Current Happenings

Sydney is growing up too fast!!  She is cruising around super fast.  A few of her favorite things are pulling all the magnets off the fridge, standing over the AC vents while the cool air blows out, standing in the fridge when Brian or I open the door, and climbing the stairs.  She also loves to dance!

She loves the magnets with the pictures of babies!  

Dancing on the vents.  

A Trip to the Zoo

We took Sydney on her first trip to the zoo!  She seemed to be the most interested in the kangaroos when they were jumping, and she liked watching the monkeys.

More monkeys!

Watching the duckies swim.

The giraffe was eating leaves.  

Fun times at the zoo!!

Kisses

Sydney is really into giving kisses.  She kisses all her stuffed animals!  If you are lucky enough, she will even lean in for a very wet, sloppy kiss when you are holding her!  It is my favorite thing ever!!

More kisses for her bunny....currently her favorite toy.  

Busted!  

Catching Up

It's been a while since my last post so here's a bit of what we've been up to this summer. 

Sydney loves to swing!  

Eating more and more foods....she likes Ritz crackers, rice, potatoes, muffins and lots more!
