Our visit to Santa

We went to see Santa at the mall tonight. Sydney did really well. We knew she would either freak out or just stare at him. Luckily she just stared at him with a freaked out look on her face. I ran up quick and tickled her cheeks and she turned and smiled. Here's the pic...I just took a picture of the picture, so it's a little blurry.




Here's my girl being silly with her Santa hat on.





This was my dress when I was a baby. I believe I was a bit older when I had this, but it fits her great.






Sydney had her 6 month check up (1 month late) this past Monday. She weighs 18 pounds 12 ounces and is 27 1/2 inches long which puts her being bigger than 90% of babies her age, (she was bigger than 99% of babies her age from birth until now). Her weight gain has slowed and she has gotten longer. She has her 4 top teeth coming in (1 has broken through) which will give her 6 teeth. The doctor said her development was wonderful. Happy and healthy!

Where the Wild Things Are!



Saturday night the 3 of us went to Atoka for Tim's 30th birthday and all the kiddies were there. Well, 4 of them were there and that was plenty! Camryn (Ashley and Kevin's daughter who was born on the same day as Sydney) was happy doing her own thing. But, Coleman (Ashley and Kevin's son), Tatum (April and Antonio's daughter), and Sydney were WILD! I think Coleman had a little too much chocolate - so funny! Tim got a gift wrapped in a 42" T.V. box and the kids were all over it. They were having a blast. First they were content to play inside, but Coleman just couldn't stand it and HAD to get on top of it. Well, the rest had to follow. Tatum wanted to crawl up it, and then would slide back down (on her back, stomach, upside down, she had a blast) so I put Sydney on it to see what she would do. Well, just check out the pictures. She and Tatum were sliding down it together and sliding into each other and kept coming back for more. So I guess the best gift for Sydney for Christmas is a big box or a slide! When we left, Sydney passed out before we got the car moving, so I'm sure Tatum and Coleman crashed, too. We had a great time Tim and Jenn! Happy Birthday Timmy!

My Little Turkey



Isn't it so cute! Yeah, so every kid in the U.S. made one this year, and every year before that, but this one is my little turkey's hand and it's her first "art project". The day care even put a magnet on the back. I was so proud when I got it out of her bag. You would have thought that she cut it out and glued the feathers on herself by the way I was acting. It's amazing how seemingly ridiculous things can be so momentous once you have a child.
