So Much Fun!

Syd is almost 16 months and the past few weeks have been my favorite age so far! Here are some random pictures of what we do with our days!

Syd loves hide and seek. She just started hiding all on her own now. I never know where she's going to be and she just sits real still. Unless, we're taking too long and then she'll make a little noise and peep her head out.

She loves playing on mommy and daddy's bed. Here she's taking a little break for a quick photo shoot. Ryan and I love when she crosses her legs like this!

Syd loves bath time and she loves this towel she got from Ryan's aunt Angela. She's such a cute little froggie! I wish I could show you some other shots, but they're not too appropriate for the internet! : )

So today, Syd decided she wanted to wear her hat and coat while she played INSIDE! Is that her way of telling us that we need to turn the heat up?

Valentine's Weekend

My sister, Lindsey and her boyfriend, Mike, were sweet enough to babysit Sydney for us on Valentine's Day so we could go to our church's Sweetheart Banquet. My dad came up for the day too, so here are some pics!

Trying on Aunt Lindsey's Ugg boots

Syd loved rubbing her hand on Poppy's beard. She cracked up every time!

Watch out when you come to visit us. . .we have a little shoe thief on our hands!

Mike giving Syd a ride in the box. By the way, Syd was able to say "Mike" before Aunt Rachel, Uncle Dave and Aunt Lindsey.

The Monday after V-day we went to the Creedens and had a yummy dinner as always and then Nonna pulled out these fun animal and face stickers for Syd. Sydney asks to play with the stickers all the time now!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm so blessed to be married to my husband, Ryan! God really gave me an amazing man! He's a great spiritual leader in our house, a sweet husband and an amazing dad to Sydney! Happy Valentine's Day Ry!

Then there's my sweet little Sydney! What a gift from God she is to us! I love her hugs, her giggles, her funny looks and her sweet little voice! I got some cute pics of her wearing this shirt that says "I break hearts, not rules!"

Silly Voice

Sydney just started doing this voice and it cracks us up! Sometimes I'll hear her through the monitor when she's laying in bed doing the voice too. Sydney loves watching this video and always says "gen" when it's over. I think I've watched it atleast 20 times.

Our Little Head Hunter

Yesterday at lunch I gave Sydney some Teddy Grahams and I walked away for a minute and when I returned this is what I found. Should I be worried? Looks like the one guy only lost an ear. Boy was he lucky!

The proud little cannibal! Or according to Ryan, "little carnivore" since they're bears not people.

Scrapbooking Weekend

This past weekend Eric and Donna Mindrebo, who was my mom's roommate from college and great friend, invited us up to their house in Dingmans Ferry, PA. Donna's son Eric was there with his wife and daughter. And another college friend's daughter, Lauren, was there with her mom and two daughters. My roommate from college, Rachael was able to come over and scrap for a little while with us too. The wives were able to get a lot of scrapbooking done while our husbands watched our daughters. It was so sweet of them! We ate a lot of yummy food and had a great time together! Thank you Donna and Eric for having us!

Splish Splash

Sydney was cracking me up in the tub today. I've never seen her get so into splashing. The only thing close by to videotape her was my cell phone, so I hope this turns out okay. Sorry for my loud obnoxious voice in the background! I love her face whenever she'd splash really hard. She also found it hysterical whenever she got me wet too!
