I have a one year old!

Ha! That was four months ago! :) But at the beginning of October Sydney turned one!

She didn’t really seem to get the idea of opening presents. But I like how she looks cross-eyed staring at her new polar bear.

She was more excited about her cupcakes. :)

The kids and I made lion cupcakes for her. I found the idea in a magazine awhile ago. I love to see how creative the kids get.

Now that she’s almost 16 months, here are some of the things about Sydney:

• SHE IS STILL NOT WALKING!
• She has 12 teeth
• She loves playing with/being entertained by the big kids.
• She goes up the stairs really well (and even came down the other day without me knowing it) – and loves when she can escape upstairs and play with the big kids.

• She’s a really fast crawler
• She’s starting to make animal sounds
• She loves to read books
• Her favorite show right now is Dora, but she was really into Wubbzy for a while.
• She has big beautiful green eyes and long hair.

Of course as a mom I could go on and on. She has been so much fun to have in our family! Happy Birthday!
