Looks can be deceiving- Jackson is sitting on his knees and Sydney is standing.
I think that every time we get them together they interact more and more. OK, mostly parallel play but Sydney did take a toy or 2 from Jackson :). Happy 11 months sweet babies!
The Boyds were in town and we got to spend a little playtime together with Merrit and Greer yesterday. I love that the girls are going to be close in age growing up. Sydney got a new hat, but wasn't as cooperative as Greer and the Boyd girls about keeping it on. We will keep practicing :). Carlee is taller than Sydney already! I love the picture where they are both "teething" on their fingers. We wish we could play every week!!!
Pierce- meet Sydney. Sydney- Pierce.
"Hey little baby, you would look cute with this bow in your hair."
The Walker Family before dinner
Our crew at dinner, before the 20 lbs of crawfish were delivered. Please note, Trent, the Perrys, the Wards (and we got to meet Joe!), the Luces, the McBroomes and the Walkers make for a pretty fun table.
Sweet Valentine :) in her pink boots
One of our new favorite games, taking everything in and out of her "purse"
Please enjoy 2 things in this picture. 1. We have one strand of beads from Race for the Cure, and Sydney is in love with them and has taken to crawling everywhere dragging them. 2. I have no idea where she gets this from, but we have our first offical word- "Hi". And she puts everything (my brush, a book, beads, a shoe, and the real phone) up to her ear and says "Hi" like she is talking on the phone. She is in mid-motion here. Her silly Daddy must model that alot for her ;).
Oh, and waving is still a really fun game.
Smiling sweet baby girl! Who will be 11 months on Saturday!!! I can't believe it! Oh, I took Keri's advice and we moved out the office and are in the process of making a playroom/family room. I am actually attempting to make some pretty artwork (Anyone who knows me is cracking up I'm sure) and we are going to look at IKEA this weekend for maybe a piece to store toys. Any other ideas for this room??? I want something fun and functional- that we can try and keep "organized".
Well, I must say, I walked out of the race track Saturday with 5 dimes in my pocket but we had a great time. We met Scott and Ashley, and ended up sitting right next to Jeff/Erin and Billy/Darcy. I sure do miss my Granddaddy Bo being at the races with me. He always had a good tip up his sleeve that made me feel like I could really pick a good horse. Maybe I'll win next time! Thanks to Nanny D and Grandpa Gene for keeping the Princess- she had a blast. Saturday night we ate some fabulous steaks at the the Hamras and Sydney got to play. Henry (their labradoodle) fell in love with me, what can I say ?!?!
"Baby it's cold outside!" Sydney with her mommies "boyfriend".
Elli, Emma, Scott and Sydney 11 months ago :)
Scott and Ashley
Awesome cake in honor of Scott's birthday and the national guard
Silly Emma, Elli and Sydney.
This is the "Princess Mobile" that her Nan got her. It is really neat- it is actually a very safe little walker, but Sydney hasn't figured out how to really make it go yet.
We have been super busy and I wanted to be sure and share about a very special birthday party we went to last weekend. Our dear friend Scott Eaton is turning 30. Not only that, but he has enlisted in the Arkansas Army National Guard and will be leaving for boot camp in less than 2 weeks. So, Ashley wanted to have a special night to celebrate him and it was a great time with great food and friends. Sydney has always liked Scott and we are VERY PROUD of him and his dreams. But please hurry home soon and be safe!!!
