Simply Speaking!

Yesterday, Daddy and I were watching Brainy Baby with Sydney. As the colors were introduced out of the blue Sydney Kate says, "YELLOW"!!!! My heart just beamed with pride! She looked at both of us making sure we had in fact heard her accomplishment! Since her tubes in February Sydney has just flourished. We are so proud of her and she gets so proud of herself.

We can't wait as more and more speech develops. Miss Krisiti, her speech therapist, will just be so thrilled!

We love you so much Sydney Kate and you are our pride and joy.... forever and ever!

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

Swimming Lessons begin TODAY!

After class the little ones played in the sandbox.

As you can see Miss Sydney opted out for a snack instead! haha

Hip, Hip, Hooray!! Swimming lessons begin today at our home!

Sydney had been floating around the pool this season with her floaties and has quiet the confidence. Our swim coach is Miss Tonya and she brings a lifeguard with her to supervise. Five of Sydney's friends from our playgroup are in the class. They are Ellie, Isabella, Ethan, Nathaniel, Ben, and Miss Sydney.

WELL.....swim class today was without the floaties! Oh, no for mommy! Sydney did not want mommy to hold her or help her because "Sydney is a big girl when she wears her floaties". She didn't realize that without her floaties on she could sink. So, as you can imagine, swim class was a challenge. Thanks to all my mommy friends for helping. We passed Sydney around and she would cooperate with the other moms just not with her own (I hope this isn't the beginning of something! haha)

Overall, I am so very proud of her! After swim class, Sydney shared her playhouse and sand box with all her friends. She even shared her hot wheel car collection!!! That is HUGE!

Mommy and Daddy are so proud of our little swimmer.

More swim updates will follow. We have lessons here at the house for 2 weeks.

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day!

We spent Memorial Day at Nana & Pop Hirsch's house with our family. Sydney played and played in the pool with all of her cousins-before the BIG rain shower came and made us move our celebration indoors.

We had hamburgers and hot dogs. Sydney especially loved the Cheetos!

All Aboard!

Today was so much fun! Daddy had the day off from work so we loaded up the car and headed for the Forest Park Mini-Train ride. We invited our neighbor Coy to come along with us. Syd and Coy loved the train (especially the popcorn stop). Next, we went to lunch where vanilla ice cream was the favorite.

Summer is almost here!

Sydney can not get enough time in the water! She loves it! We can't even walk past the pool without her getting upset that she can't get in at that time. Here she is with her best friend Ellie. Of course, swim time could not be complete without pineapple and cherry popsicles!

Texas Bluebonnets

I almost forgot to post Sydney's bluebonnet pictures this year. She had so much fun running and playing in them.

*This is Sydney last year

Sydney in the Bluebonnets this year (look how much she has grown!)

Mother's Day

Sydney and daddy gave mommy the most wonderful Mother's Day again this year. Actually, it was more of a Mother's Day weekend. I am so fortunate to have you both. Sydney makes me the proudest and happiest mommy in the entire world!
