First Birthday Party

Syd was excited to get invited to Jack Taggard's 4th birthday party. The pirate themed adventure (including an amazing pirate chest cake) was great.



Of course, Syd goes right for the ice-cream....apple doesn't fall too far from the tree ...eh mom?

Crawling Sydney Style (VIDs)

Syd has almost got crawling down; however, she has invented her own little system of getting around. Watch as she crawls a few steps, face plants, does some swimming moves, and then gets back up again. She sort of resembles an inchworm. She also seems to get distracted by interesting objects (mainly dirt) on the carpet.




Come and get it!!

Pretty sweet, eh?

Daddy Talk (VID)

This proves it...Syd has learned to talk (well maybe not quite)...but what a chatterbox!




Next up..."Mommy!"

Water Guzzler

Syddie loves drinking out of a "big-girl" cup these days. She also loves for us to watch her and cheer her on!

First Race

Syd ran (well rode in the stroller) in her first 5K this weekend. Chris and I took turns pushing her up the very steep hills!






Syd also got to meet her first celebrity! Bachelor Andy Baldwin was at the race representing the Duke Navy ROTC and honoring his friend in whose memory the race is run.

Smiley Sydney

Not quite ready for the bow

Syd's hair has been growing a lot, but doesn't look like she is quite ready for bows yet.

More Easter Pics!

We had too many good pics to not post some more of Syd all dressed up! She is cracking up in some of the bottom ones...

Sunrise Mass at Duke Gardens

It was only 46 degrees at 6:30 this morning...but we braved the weather in Duke Gardens for the Sunrise Mass. Syd loved all the flowers in her Easter dress and bonnet!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!



We'll see how sunrise mass goes this morning :)

Snuggling with Daddy is so comfy!

Sydney has enjoyed watching basketball with her Daddy these past 2 weeks.

My First Teeth!

Sydney's two bottom teeth are starting to come. Good thing she likes brushing her teeth!

She also likes checking out Dad's toothbrushing skills.
