The last few months have been very busy (like usual). Sydney is still growing and getting a stronger personality. She still is an easy going little one, but she has her moments when she wants what she wants. She has become a very social person, and usually goes to everyone happily. She still has not crawled and is pretty sure that she will walk before. She is getting around all over the house by scooting, it is hilarious. She pulls herself up on everything. She can even stand up without anything occasionally. She has taken steps on her own, but will sit down after two steps. She is getting closer to walking all over the house.
Her dermatologist is very happy with her hemangioma on her nose. He thinks it has stopped growing and we are slowing reducing her medicine. Our choice to treat her nose was the best decision that we have made.
We spent Easter in West Hickory, but we still had to dress her in a pretty Easter dress.
In late April, Sydney had her first sick evening, this was right after she threw up in her crib, poor baby!
We have been enjoying the outside every chance that we get and she has been loving it. She absolutely loves to swing and a little unsure of the slide. She loves the car that Papa has, she knows to put her hands on the steering wheel which we think is very amusing.
Sydney had her first experience with water at her cousin's birthday party. She wasn't quite sure at first, but quickly loved it. She clung close to us but she started splashing and bouncing up and down in our arms. Can't wait to get her into swim lessons.
Sydney has developed quite the independent, strong willed personality that we all knew she would have. Here is a photo of her wanting her pretzel rod and Daddy's as well. Get used to it Daddy!
Now that she is approching 11 months old, she has conquered the sippy cup, scooting all over the place (still no crawling) and standing up and taking a few steps, we are just waiting for her to toddle all over the place. She is just learning how to drink from a real cup and putting whatever may be lying around into our pantry. She is still babbling away with an occasional new word.
