Syd's 1st Steps!!

Syd is 9 months and 21 days old today. She took her 1st independent steps with her walker. It was SO exciting! She did great after a little encouragement....until I moved her toy! Enjoy!!!

Syd playing with her kitchen

Syd got a new kitchen for Hanukkah / Xmas from her Aunt Michele, Uncle Scott, Samantha and Lindsay. She is 9 months and 7 days in this video. Mommy got a new Flip Video for her bday. This is 2 separate videos that I somehow managed to combine into a movie. Not bad for my first attempt. If you listen closely you can hear Syd saying HI and talking in the background of the music. I did not intend to have music so I'm not sure how that happened. :-) She LOVES the kitchen!! Thanks for such a great gift. I LOVE the Flip Video. Thank you husband for such a great gift!

Syd is 9 Months Old Today!!!!

Syd is 9 months old today. She is just amazing. We KNOW that she says Hey Baby and Mama and Dada and Nana. :-) She is crawling like she is in a race. She also walks around holding onto things. I just captured this video of her taking a few steps while pushing her highchair. Happy New Year!!

Syd is 8 months old today!!

Sydney is 8 months old today. WOW!!!! Time sure is flying. She is just awesome!!!! We are so excited by her growth daily. This past week alone she has learned to clap and kiss. She actually puckers. It's adorable!! She is crawling around and pulling herself up. We already lowered her crib. She is doing great at school. She sits at a table in a chair with her other little friends to eat her meals. She has the best personality ever. Again, I can't remember life without her. Nor do I want to!!!

Little Pumpkin

We took Syd to the Pumpkin Patch today. It was nice and sunny but a little on the cool side. She had no idea what was going on with all the people walking around all of these orange things. It was more for the benefit of Brian and I so that we could take some pixs of her. She is so alert and so interactive now. We LOVE it!! She sure does keep us on our toes.

6 month Dr. visit

We just returned from Syd's 6 month Dr. appointment. She has reached 18.6 lbs (90th percentile) and 27.25 inches (95th! percentile). He said that if her height stays at the 95th percentile, then she could be 5' 11" at 19 years old. I guess Sydney and Uncle Scott can stand together in the back of family photos. :)

Tooth time

WE HAVE A TOOTH!!!!

Like Father Like Daughter

Playing in the tub!

Sydney has done a complete 180 as far as bath time goes. She not only doesn't cry now but, she has found her toys and would stay in as long as we would let her. She amazes us every day!

Syd the DJ

Syd's activity center has a piano on it. She is learning how to be quite the funky DJ. We provide additional entertainment by dancing and acting crazy to encourage her. That part is not in the video!

Syd's chasing her daddy

Syd LOVES her activity center. She has really learned how to use her feet to get herself around it. Brian walks around it and she chases him. It's really cute.
