I LOVE my daddy!

Sydney Kate LOVES playing outside each day. When it is time to come inside for dinner she always cries and cries. Here is a picture of an afternoon playing with daddy! Mommy was inside with a student tutoring. I walked outside to call them in for dinner and WOW!!! My little girl was covered from head to toe in dirt and she LOVED IT!!!

Sydney is truly her daddy's girl!

2 year check up

Sydney's 2 year checkup was this morning....along with 2 shots. Ouch!

She was such a big girl. All reports are excellent and she is growing like a weed. Sydney weighed 24.8 lbs and even got to stand on the "big kid" scale. She thought she was so big! :)

She was not happy at all about her shots but quickly wiped her tears away when her nurse brought her the large jar of lollipops to choose from. Sydney chose cherry and picked a sticker from the sticker basket. The sticker was not Tinker Bell or The Disney Princess'....no, Sydney chose the DumpTruck sticker! haha

Since her morning started out so rough, I took her to breakfast at Chic-Fil-A. There she insisted on sitting in the booth right next to me....no high chair she insisted! She sat like a big girl and ate her fruit and chicken. I am just so proud of the little lady she is becoming. She played in the play area and then we came home.

She is sleeping soundly now.

Mommy loves you Sydney Kate!

Early Easter Egg Hunt

The Dallas World Aquarium

For Sydney's actual birthday her daddy and I took her to the Dallas World Aquarium. We really enjoyed looking at all the coral and ocean animals. Sydney's favorite part I believe was sharing the extra large M & M cookie with her daddy! Can you see the chocolate on her mouth ???

The Best Birthday Party ever!

We are recovering and being lazy this Sunday. Yesterday we celebrated Sydney's 2nd birthday with her very own Strawberry Shortcake themed party. We rushed around all day long making last minute preparations. We had the party at 4pm here at the house. All of our family came as well as several of our closest friends. We enjoyed pizza and the best cake ever! Sydney received the most generous gifts and the grand finale was her outdoor playhouse (which took daddy about 4 days to put together!) haha

We were outside way after dark enjoying the nice weather with our neighbor. Sydney and her friend Coy played and played on their riding toys.

Andrew and I cleaned up the house late last night. We were so very tired but so happy that our little girl had the most wonderful day ever!

We love you Sydney Kate!

Friends...

Happy 2nd Birthday Sydney!
