Summer Begins!

It has been a while since the last update. We moved so I misplaced my camera cord and I finally found it yesterday. So sit back and relax because this post will have lots of pictures, mainly of Sydney, and videos and commentary!

Here is Sydney on her new little potty. She actually likes sitting on the potty and has gone successfully the last several time we have sat her on it. She also likes reading her books. So why not while on the pot?

 

Sydney wanted to help out during the move.

 

We went to my sister Shelley's house for Memorial Day Weekend and it was lots of fun, but hot! I couldn't sleep that first night cuz I was burning up. But Sydney had fun with all the cousins and on the road trip down there. She did really well for 7-8 hours in the car. Here we are at a gas station stopping for a little while to stretch our legs.

Omi and Sydney walking on the grass.

 Sydney loves relaxing on someone while drinking. She sure has some chunky legs!

 

Sydney got to go on a wagon ride down the street with Uncle Steve!

 

(I'll keep trying to post it but its having difficulties)

 And here are my two favorite people taking a nap on the way home. I do have to say, sleeping in the backseat sure is easier when you have Sydney's car seat to lean on.

Sydney sitting in the front seat while we were filling up the car. She loved it.

This past week we found out that Sydney LOVES cream cheese. She gets that from daddy because I can't stand the stuff.

 Say... cheese?

 And of course she loves pasta with sauce!

 And she recently has started eat celery!

 Since it has started to get hotter outside, we finally got to use her cute swimsuit that Auntie Melissa and Uncle Kiel gave to her for her birthday! 

Look how excited she is!

 Playing with the duckies in the bucket.

 And of course looking so cute!

 Her diaper was getting pretty soaked so we decided to take it off. Problem was her little booty didn't fill out the bottom part of the bathing suit after that. 

Trying her hardest to keep it modest!

 

A little video of our fun in the backyard!

She is soo cute. She has started doing this sigh of relief after she drinks water. See if you can catch it in the video.

(This video also is having problems =( I'll get it up soon) 

Its Father's Day! So Happy Father's Day to all your Father's and future fathers. I am especially grateful for my husband who cares for me and thinks of me always before himself, who provides for my needs and Sydney's. I hope he can say the same for me. I am grateful for my dad who taught me many things while I was growing up and many of those lessons I am starting to appreciate more as a parents. You both are good men. And I am grateful for Gabe's parents, especially his father, for teaching him and being an example to him of what a father should be, and can be!Love you guys! And I am grateful this day for my Heavely Father who has given me all that I have and helped me to be who I am today.

And on an end note, Sydney was eating a banana and necterine quite messily this afternoon, stuffing everything she has on her plate into her mouth, and Gabe and I and Mom were talking about some of the ways Sydney resembles Gabe and I. Sydney has Gabe's eyes, but the shape of my eyes. Sydney has my hair color almost but the wavy/curlyness of Gabe's, I think she has Gabe's lips or a blend of ours, and then Gabe said, "And she eats like you.".... Thanks Gabe.
