Proud of the angel/princess outfit given to her by great grandma Shirley. 

A carrot or an octopus? Sydnee likes both!

Happy Easter! 

Happy 2nd Birthday!

No More Monkees...

Sydnee has recently decided that she absolutely loves jumping on our bed. Of course, the setup needs to be just right - no blankets (just pillows), overhead light on, and ceiling fan going slowly. She will occasionally sing the "Ten little monkees jumping on the bed" song while this is taking place.

Another new pasttime is asking for coins, which are located in Catherine's wooden bunny bank. The hind leg comes off to get at them (a little disturbing if you ask me), and then she spreads them out in front of her to play. Today she recognized that coins were dirty, and so her natural response was to wash a few in the sink.

Hugs for Mama 

Oops! Sydnee tried to put Mama's lipstick on, but she missed... 

First golf lesson! Given that she didn't throw her club, I think she passed... 

First pony ride at Kevin's summer picnic. Doesn't the horse look thrilled...

Sydnee-isms

We find it very humorous how Sydnee's language has been developing. Her latest catch phrase is "OK guys", which is an offshoot of the "Yah OK" that started a few weeks ago. She has also started speaking full sentences, like "I need some yogurt". It's still a challenge to interpret most of the Sydnee-speak we hear, but I think we're about to turn the corner.
