sydney loves animals. we have to point out the cows and the horses everytime we drive past some. gardner village was doing a baby animal petting zoo for little kids. it was really fun. sydney rode the horsey, twice. yes she talked her daddy into riding it 2 times, it wasn't hard. they also had goats, pigs, chickens, and rabbits that you could pet. oh and mommy's tulips are up and beautiful!
springtime is here.
easter sunday 2010! easter kind of low key considering the 4 inches of snow we got easter morning! no easter egg hunt outside. ;( boo we are ready for the sunshine. we went to my moms for dinner and then to dye some easter eggs. sydney was not too into dyeing the eggs this year...she did try to tip over the color cups a few times. maybe better luck next year. now for eating the eggs....YUM! deviled eggs, egg salad sandwhiches...bring them on! sydney is getting big so fast. her vocabulary seems like it triples every day. she is repeating things we say and using her own words to communicate it is a fun age!! she is a sweet girl and we love having her in our family!
spring is on its way! finally a warm day to go to the park. sydney has so much fun. she loved loved the slide. she keeps saying more..more..more! we are loving this sunshine! loved being outside for a change!
sydney is growing up so fast! she is saying lots of words now and able to communicate with us a little. her first sentence was "more cheese" go figure. she could eat cheese every meal of the day.
some of sydney's favorite things:
food: cheese and cheerios (not together)
word: dada
movie: baby Einstein
toy: ball thrower
stuffed animal: tickle me Elmo
drink: milk and water

there are probably more that i cant think of. she is a happy healthy little girl and we are so glad she is a part of our family. she finally has some hair that i get to play with...piggies and ponies are so much fun.
welcome to the 30's. i have to say i think the 30's will be better than the 20's. not that my 20's were bad in any way just looking forward to the 30's. so much to look forward to! raising my little girl, more time with my family, and being more comfortable with my life. for the celebration we went to wendover for a night away. i won a little money at the poker table and had a good time!! also went to dinner at my mom's the sunday before (yummy cheese soup and cornbread) and went out to dinner with craig's parents over the weekend at Asian Star! no big trip around the world yet! it was kind of a birthday week. my dad brought ballons and candy to my work on tuesday! i must say how much i love my family. so i dont even think i have a picture of any of these events...oh well you all know what i look like. ;)
i thought i better start keeping track of some of syd's first words. she says more and more words everyday now so it is getting harder to keep up. dada was one of the first words that she said but i am not sure when she was able to put it in the right context.

it is so fun to be able to teach her new words. just this last week she will repeat what i ask her to say! time to start watching our colorful vocabulary...;) i love her little jibberish!! i could sit and listen to her in the morning talk away. Last week when i was listening in there was a lot of jibber and then a mama, dada, mama, dada!
we had a tradition in my family growing up to take a photo with all the christmas gifts. it is fun to look back and remember the gifts you got each year so i want to do this with sydney too. 2009 christmas loot:
