Sydney practicing her walking skills!

The girls playing...

10

Sydney has grown up so much this past month, reaching so many new milestones.  She is pulling up on everything, and is even starting to cruise around the the furniture in our living room.  She can also walk around the room while holding onto and pushing her toy car.  She loves, and I mean LOVES, to dance.  Any time she hears a song or a beat, she starts bouncing up and down dancing.  She's learned how to clap and now claps along with the music while bouncing up and down.  So cute!!  Her bottom two teeth are now coming in.  We started feeling them last week and can finally see them really good this week.  She is starting to eat more "table" food.  Her favorite food is a banana.  She eats a whole banana almost every day.  She also loves peas, carrots, macaroni and cheese, eggs, and Cheerios.  She loves Sara Beth.  Their relationship is so precious.  Sara Beth looks after her and takes care of her.  And Sydney already looks up to and admires her big sister.  This year is flying by, but we are truly enjoying every second with her!

Tampa

We went on a mini-vacation this week to Tampa.  Tuesday we went to the Glazer Children's Museum.  Admission is free on the first Tuesday of each month, so we thought we'd try it out.  We didn't realize all of Tampa would have the same idea.  After standing in line for 45 minutes to get in, it was so crowded inside it was hard to do anything.  Especially for someone as shy as Sara Beth.  We didn't stay long, but did get a few cute pictures to share. 

We spent all day Wednesday at Busch Gardens (LOTS of pictures to follow!)
