Me and My girl in the sun!

Sand Box

Sydney got a new sandbox from Nana and papa Pfefferkorn. She loves it! She loves to dig, let the sand fall through her hands, put sand in the bucket and just sit in the box. It is so fun to watch her explore.

Easter!

We had a great Easter. It was a little rainy, it's the Northwest. But that didn't stop us from having an Easter egg hunt! Sydney really had fun. She was great at finding the eggs and would really DROP them in her basket and then she would shake the basket up and down. Good they were hard boiled!!

What are you looking at?

Stop taking my picture!

playing outside

Sydney really loves being outside. She would be outside all day if she could. She loves picking up rocks and dirt and letting them fall through her fingers. She loves picking up leaves, watching ducks, watching the streams, stomping in puddles, and just getting dirty.

Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Ken bought Sydney a table just her size. She really enjoys coloring and playing with Playdough at it. She also is really proud of herself everytime she gets off the chair on her own. It is pretty cute!

The many faces of meal time.

Meal times are always interesting. Sydney is quite the picky eater. She has her favorites. Macaroni, eggs, and SAUSAGE. She loves sausage. I think she would eat it all day if I let her. Maybe it is a rebellion from being deprived of it in the womb.

She is learning to use a spoon and fork and getting really good at it.

I know, I know....friends don't let friends drink starbucks. no need for an intervention.

We went for a bike ride with Sydney in a bike trailer and learned the lesson not to ride through muddy puddles with out fenders and a baby in a trailer.

Sydney played in the snow for the first time. It snowed in Portland. Which was pretty crazy. We got about 4 inches.

She really liked the snow. She really explored in it.

Nothing better than a blue eyed, dirty faced toddler!

Sydney has a great full face smile. I was so excited when I caught it on camera.

Sydney on Christmas morning. She had so much fun opening all the packages.

Here are some pictures from Christmas. We had the 2nd annual 'Mustache Christmas'. This year I decided to enter the contest.
The funny thing is I couldn't close my mouth with the mustache on. It pulled my lip up. So, I am trying to keep my mouth closed in this picture. Kind of a scary picture huh?!

spagehtti face

This is Sydney's spagehtii beard. Good looking kid!
