Finally, an update!

OK. So I know it's been months since I've updated, but I have been busy with my new job and when I get home at night, I don't really want to get back on the computer. I just want to spend time with my two honeys. Some updates since Christmas...

Sydney has 8 teeth. She says MaMa and DaDa and she loves the dogs so she tries to bark. She waves, blows kisses, and when she hugs you she says "Awwwww". Sydney loves music and will dance and wave her hands around when music comes on. She is so much fun. She is trying to walk. She's taken a couple of steps. She has a push cart and walks behind that really well. If you ask her, "Are you a good girl", she shakes her head "No". Sydney is eating grapes, chicken nuggets, kraft singles, fish sticks, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and anything off my plate that I will give her. She loves chinese noodles. She has recently started wanting to spoon feed herself, which makes dinner extra messy, but so funny. Cheerios and sweet potato puffs are still her favorites. She is still not sleeping through the night. Sometimes she wakes around 2 or 3 wanting to eat, but most nights it is about 5:00. She goes to bed at 8:30 and gets up around 7am. Some days she naps at school, some days she goes strong and won't nap all day. Her favorite show has always been "The Backyardigans". When they sing and dance, she is just mesmerized. She points her fingers straight in the air when she hears the theme music, almost in a "ROCK ON" sort of way. I put a Backyardigans book in her Easter Basket and everything else got tossed out in order to get that book. The Backyardigans show (or CD in the car) is the one thing that can always soothe the savage beast. Jeremy has even been known to break out and sing "I Love Being a Princess" just to calm Sydney down.

Here's some new pictures. Some from snow day and her Easter Bunny pic. Enjoy.

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!

My little cutie

Just some pics I took of Syd in front of the Christmas tree and some in her pajamas. Also check out what Jeremy and I bought ourselves for Christmas!

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.

My Little Stinker

Sydney was a skunk for Halloween. So cute with her chubby little face!
