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!

She loves to sit in chairs, rocking chairs and couches by herself. She thinks she is pretty hot stuff when she does it.

Syndey is taking a few steps now. She took 4 in a row last night. Pretty exciting. She still prefers crawling, but is getting close to walking. Look out!

This is Sydney at her first pumpkin patch.  

Syd loves crawling in things. She has really developed some new skills. She can now stack the rings on the stick, stack cups, and put things, including herself, in boxes. 

This is in chicago on my mom's porch with some great fall colors

 

Well we are all moved in to our new place in Portlland and now have high speed internet!!! Hooray. Which means I can post more pictures. Here are some from the last couple months. 

just so adorable. 

This is Sydney getting dinner at the campground in the rain forest. We were by a beautiful flowing river. and .... Yes, it did rain! 

When we were at the campgrounds, we put Sydney's pack n play outside so she could play. She liked to play peek a boo through the mesh sides. 

We went to La Push. This is Third beach. Sydney really wanted to crawl into the water. she almost went straight towards it. We have a future surfer. Her and her dad can rip it up!
