Sydney's New Toy

My mother in law gave me some jars in a box for canning. I was about to throw the box away the other day, but this is what I found when I went to grab it...

She loves to sit in there all stretched out reading books. It's so cute!

Stats and Shots

I took Sydney to the Health Dept. Monday for her one year check up and immunizations.

Length 29 1/2" long (72%)

Weight 18 lbs. 13 oz. (78%)

Head Circumference 18 3/4" (95%)

The we went across the hall for her shots. She got six including her first dose of the flu shot. She was suppose to get one more, but they were out. They will call us back when it is in. She had 2 shots in each thigh and one shot in each arm. Poor baby! She was miserabley sore and feverish yesterday. She's bruising today, but a lot better.

Steph and Dad's Birthday

We went down to Nephi Saturday to celebrate Steph and Dad's birthday. Sydney had so much fun: especially in Grandma's huge backyard!

I don't know what is up with the tongue! She has been doing this for a few days now. So cute though!

17 Birthday spankings!!!

I latch hooked a pillow for dad. Let's just say that I'll never make on of those again, arg!

The Bear with GReat Grandma Bateman. As you can see, she has a mind of her own now!

Sydney and Great Grandma Parkin. It was great ahving both grandmas at the party.

We had Taco Soup for dinner. YUM!

Stephanie made the cake herself. She kinda forgot to let me get a pic b4 she cut it. She was excited. We didn't even sing!

Halloween

Sydney wasn't too thrilled to put on her alligator/ croc. costume.
She's trying to pull off her head.

Hat? What hat? Look at my pumpkin!

EEE! Want some of my candy? I didn't think she's really enjoy halloween as much as she did. She was so cute standing at people's doors holding her pumpkin. When someone gave her candy, she's try to share and give one back.

She got a sucker when Jason was giving out candy.

Mommy and Babygirl! She kept trying to take off with the groups of kids as they trick or treated at our house. I love being a mom!

Birthday

We celebrated Sydney's birthday Saturday. It was so much fun! She loved her cake. I was afraid she'd get sick from all the frosting, but she didn't, thank goodness!

Her Own Personal Cake

Raviolis at lunch

Opening presents with daddy

The first bite. She ate it so dainty! I think it was because there was a big audience.

This little dog is cool. It sings and teaches colors and body parts.

Pumpkin Patch

These uploaded backwards, sorry!

Sydney loved picking out her pumpkin out. She fell asleep on the way there. We had a hard time waking her up. Once she found the one she wanted, she just sat by it. The she tried to push it. It was so cute! The had a small maze made out of bales of hay. She had a hard time staying up. It was so slippery.

1 Year Old!!!

Sydney, taking a break from a little yard work/ raking leaves.

This are in our yard. She loved playing with the leaves and apples!

McD's

I've been slacking at blogging lately. Sorry. Sydney turned one last Thursday. We took her to McD's for lunch. She loved it! She got spoiled and had some Sprite. This last year has flown by! I can't believe our baby girl is one!!! Her newest trick is laying in the tub on her tummy, splashing and kicking. The last week she has decided that throwing her toys and washcloth out of the tub is fun; for her, not mama! She is quite the active and espressive girl. She thinks "EEEE" means everything. When she wants something, she points at it and says E! She still can't get the "L" sound on the word ball. Sometimes she tries to say football, which comes out "bootbaaaa". She does say bye bye and night night clearly. She knows what they mean too. When I say bye bye, she knows to get her shoes on. When Jason goes to bed at night, she tells him night, night. She's so cute! It will be nice when she can talk a little more. We are still working on sleeping through the night. She did good for a while, but now she is back to waking up once a night. I try to let her cry it out, but that doesn't work. She is one determined little girl! After an hour, I end up giving in. I am grateful for the times she does make it through. She is still taking two naps a day. She is starting to go back to be a daddy's little girl. She is doing great walking. She runs into everything though. I think she lost her eyesight when she learned how to walk. She just gets so excited. We have been walking the last few weeks with a few moms and their toddlers. She has enjoyed that. I wish it would warm up a litle bit more in the morning so we could go more. Today I did some canning and she was able to interact with a two year old and two one year olds. That was something. None of them understand sharing. It was good for her though. She is mama's little helper. She wants to be in the middle of everything I'm doing. I guess I started that when I use to have her on the counter in her bouncer and now she is always sitting up there. We go to the doctor next week for a check up. All in all, she's a great kid and an amazing blessing in our lives.
