Another Girl
We went for our 20 wk. ultrasound back on the 18th. We are thrilled to be expecting another daughter! Sydney loves pointing to mommy's tummy and saying "baby sister". It's priceless!

Banana Muffins
I had some leftover bananas from a baby shower yesterday. I made these this morning. Way too delicious and easy not to share...
Banana Muffins (makes 12 muffins)
3 or 4 Large bananas, mashed (the more bananas the moister, so I use 4)
1/2 cup white sugar (original recipe calls for 1 cup, but I don’t like them too sweet)
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup melted margarine or butter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
Mix the mashed banana, sugar, egg and margarine together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix wet and dry ingredients all together, being careful not to over-stir! Pour into greased muffin tins, and bake in 350 degrees oven for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy!
*These are much more flavourful the next day, and they freeze very nicely too!

Halloween
Just like last year, Sydney hated the head gear till we got going!
She almost fell asleep on the porch when we got home, and it was only a little after 7! She was so much fun this year. She didn't say trick or treat till halfway through, but she was pretty good about saying thank you.
Carving Pumpkins
Isn't she adorable? She loves helping in the kitchen and wearing an apron like mommy!
She thought the seeds were icky! She doesn't like to be dirty. So, as usual, I cleaned tehm all out!
This pumpkin was so thick and hard to clean out! It looked cool afterwords!
I love this one!
Daddy was teaching her how to make silly faces. I couldn't choose!
She looks so grown up!2 Years Old
Wow! This is my 200th blog! Amazing!
Sydney had her two week check up a few weeks ago. Here are her stats...
25 lbs. (25%tile)
34 In. tall (75%tile)
I think her head was 20 In. (95%tile I think)
Sydney is on track. She is a busy and independant girl. All I hear all day is, "I do it!" I try to let her tryo to do most things herself. I love that she is excited to learn. She counts to 10. She keeps trying to get to 13, but gets confused. She has been getting better at her ABC's. I just need to work with her more. She colored on my walls today. Thank goodness for washable crayons! I guess I'm lucky this was the first time. She loves nursery, going to the library and playing at the playground. She has become quite the social butterfly. It's so fun to watch her gain these skills. She loves books! I can't keep them on the shelf! She prays for nursery and her friends every night. She wants to do prayers without my help sometimes. She starts them with, "In the name of Jesus Christ amen". When I try to correct her, she gets so upset with me. It's so cute though. She is talking so well. She is really putting sentences together. During lunch I had something in the microwave. I was doing something and couldn't get to it right away. Sydney says, "I go get it mommy." She is mommy's little helper! She still says E instead of the. Today she was telling me that she wanted to call her friend. What!? Where's mommy's little girl?! She has been my little cheerleader during the morning sickness. She has become a climber now. She'll grab whatever she can, flip it over and stand on it. It's usually her hamper or garbage can. Today she even grab a tiny pumpkin that we use for decoration. Silly girl! She is very receptive to music, especially songs with actions. She loves "Baby Bumblebee." We are so blessed to have such a happy and healthy little girl to teach us each day!
