Our little girl in one year old!!!!

Yep, you all read that right. Our little Sydney turned 1 year old on September 25 ( I know I am a little late posting this). I just can not believe that she is 1 year old already. People say how time just flies and it is true. Sydney is no longer our little baby, she is turning into our little girl. She loves her daddy so much and still gets the biggest smile on her face every time he walks through the door ( don't worry she loves me just as much). She has two bottom teeth and her two top teeth will poke through any day now. She weighs 21 lbs of love and is 29 inches long. She has come a long way since she was just our little baby that weighed 5 lbs 11 oz.... a LONG way! She loves music and dances to it anytime she hears it, whether it is at church, car or on the T.V. She truly has music in her heart. Even on occasion she sings, if you are lucky enough to hear it. Hearing her sing is probably one of the most wonderful sounds she makes, I love it. She still has her blond, curly hair and the bluest eyes you have ever seen. Her newest thing is that she loves puppies, any commercial that she sees and has puppies she starts barking and just starts giggling. She is the pride and joy of our lives and we can not ever imagine our lives without her.

For her birthday we had all of Quinton and my family over and some friends to my parents house and had a great party. We played games, opened many presents, had great food and the best part.... her cupcake cake. She loved it... chocolate and icing .... everything. However, the huge diaper rash she got afterwards was not as much fun, but she loved her cupcake. Thank you to everyone that came and sent cards to Sydney. She loved everything that she got. It truly was a special day filled with lots of family, friends and most of all... love.

She Walks!!!!

About a month ago Sydney started to take her first steps. It is truly amazing how all of a sudden everything just clicks and they are on a go. We were fortunate enough that Sydney was in a walking mood when I had my camera out. Hope you all enjoy this video that I know Quinton and I will always cherish. Have fun.
