Can follow simple directions...
Sydney, put your paci in your bed (walks from the living room to her room and puts it in between the rails of here bed)
Put your clothes in the hamper (again, she walks into Sara Beth's room and puts her clothes in)
Bring me your cup
Sit down and let's put on your shoes (she sits down on the floor and tries to put her shoes on)

When leaving anywhere, she waves, says bye-bye, and blows kisses

After falling down, she gets up and shows me where she hurt herself (usually her knees).  She sees Sara Beth showing me her boo-boos, and now Sydney does the same!




When it's time to ask the blessing, she puts her hands together to pray...precious!

She loves looking at books.  Many times throughout the day she will get a book off the shelf and sit down by herself on the floor and flip through it.  This keeps her attention for quite a while.  She plays really well by herself.  She loves babies and strolling them around then house.  She loves going for walks in the evenings in her car we push.  But her favorite thing to do is sleep.  She loves sleeping and loves her bed, so much so that she dives in most of the time.  Very rarely does she cry when she is put in her bed.  She sleeps 12-13 hours every night and still takes 2 naps a day totaling anywhere from 3-5 hours total.  When you look at it this way, she's not awake very much each day!


She is such a joy and truly completes our family.  It is so much fun to watch her grow, develop, and learn new things each day.  It is so neat to see how much alike, yet so different she is from her sister. 

We love you, Sydney Lyn!
