First Haircut

Sunday was a momentous day as Sydney got her first locks cut. We went to a place where they can watch cartoons and that was about the only thing that kept her even remotely near the chair. The comb was mildly concerning but when she caught a glimpse of the scissors, all hell broke loose and I became more of a restraint than a joyful participant.....but mom pulled out a lollipop, and a couple promises that we'd ride the choo choo train later she was settled and we were able to finish up. All in all it was another fun "first"!

Cupcake with icing please, and hold the cupcake

Party after party, piece of chocolate after piece of chocolate, we have finally gotten Sydney to enjoy some party dessert. She wanted nothing to do with the chocolate chips or the actual cupcake, but the icing was a hit. Maggie is still astounded that any daughter of hers could not like chocolate.

Swiffer

Sometimes Sydney likes to just get into her birthday suit and Swiffer the floor while eating a popsicle. But really, don't we all feel like that sometimes?

Track Star

Sydney enjoys all types of other people's shoes.

Summer Corn

Sydney just loves her corn and we need to keep a constant supply on hand. One of her favorite phrases right now is "mo butta" (translates to more butter) which she repeats over and over because she thinks it makes us laugh hysterically...which it does.

Birthday Party

Sydney had a blast when all her friends came over for a bbq and pool party. Mom and Dad however were tired for three days.

This picture pretty much sums up her reaction to everyone singing happy birthday which was probably, "Are you all crazy or something?"

She also showed us she's picked up the old "I can put my finger over the flame" trick. She must have misunderstood when we told her to blow out the candles.

She was also very concerned about what she was being served, having had a banana for her first birthday.

Lastly came the presents and it's great when your child is old enough to read her own cards!

Dr. Ivey?

We've started early with the training and she's particularly fond of checking out ears and giving fake shots.
