Sucker

Sydney is getting too smart. When we go to the stire, she knows right where to find the free candy bol from the cashier. She feel asleep before we got home the other day.

Driving

Sydney loves to "Drive". Every time we get home, she waves bye to me and crawls to the driver's seat. It's a battle to get her out. It so hard when they are so Cute! I love those times when i forget that she was in the front seat last. The radio is at full blast when I turn the key!

Utensils

Sydney is at such a fun age. Miss Independent! She was being silly last week and thought using her fork and spoon at the same time was cool.

Climber

Last night Sydney was being silly. She kept scrunching up her face for the camera. It was so cute! She also surprised me and climbed up the crib. She did get her foot to the mattress, but I didn't get a pick of that. Maybe it's time to get her that toddler bed?! She is a handful now. I never know what she is going to do next!

Doing Stairs

Lucky

I was visiting with my neighbor today and she offered me two outside toys for $20. I couldn't resist!

18 Months Old

Sydney turned 18 months old last week. We went for her check up today...

Height- 32 1/2 in. (75%)
Head Circ.- 19 1/4 in. (100%tile)

I took her to nursery for the first time Sunday. She LOVED it! The teacher was amazed it was her first time. Twice she didn't want to share, but that only lasted a few seconds. I'm glad she did so good. I was doing sharing time. I'm glad I waited and didn't take her in early. She was ready now. It will be good for her to have the interaction with the other kids and to learn to share. That is hard to teach her without a sibling. All the big kids always give in to her. Our little princess is quite the talker. She repeats nearly everything I say. I have to be careful. Today I said "Gosh" and she repeated it. Her favorite thing to say, besides "no" of course, is "Don't go". It's so cute! She can count to three. She can say a few of the colors, but isn't able to distinguish them yet. I work with her everyday on them. She loves to play outside and the watch other kids play across the street. She loves Sprout TV! I try not to let her watch it too much. She loves the commercials, Good Night Show, Sharing Show...more than the cartoons on it. I like the PBS shows the best. Her favorite toys seem to be any ball she can get her hands on. She always says throw right before she throws it. She's getting quite the arm. She's thrown it all the way up to the changing table already. Sydney is definitely my sun behind the clouds. She keeps me in check always. We are blessed to have such a great daughter!
