18 months

syd is 18 months now and so much fun. (i think i keep saying tha over and over) only because it is true. she is happy and healthy and i could not ask for anything more. she is saying so many words now! everyday she picks up something new. i would make a list but really it would take 3 posts! sydney is a good eater and a good sleeper! her favorits would be mac and cheese and turkey dogs..typical kid! She loves playing at both grandmas houses and at her friends house next door, emma. the other day we were driving to grandma & grandpa colberts house and she ask if dakota (koda she says), syds cousin who is 5, would be there to play? i said no just grandma and grandpa. Then she askes...koda working? no i said koda is not working she is at her house. Pretty sure she said that because i tell her daddy is working. ;) fun conversations with the 18 month old! cant imagine life without her!

copper the crayon holder, he puts up with a lot from her.

piggys, goats and horses

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

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!

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!

the big 3-0

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. ;)

sydneys first words

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.

jan- 2010
dada
ball
mama
baby
more
hoo hoo (monkey sound)
up
uppey (same as up but cuter)
whats that?
ought oh
apple
dog
bee
bear
book


animal sounds she is making:
monkey
lamb
elephant
bunny (pretty much a crinkled nose and sniff sniff)
dog
bear
tiger


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!
