Sydney Kate is 10 Months Old!

Can you see my teeth now? ;)

 Our little girl is getting bigger! And it's getting MUCH harder to take these monthly pics. Lately, Sydney is all about where ELSE she can go. She's very mobile and in about a months' time, has mastered the art of pulling herself up, cruising around with the assistance of strategically placed toys or furniture, and even "real" crawling. It's also very common to find her standing in her crib. All of this means lots of excitement and lots of bumps and bruises. She's quite a trooper though, and 9 times out of ten, will get right back up and get back to play.

Strolling to the park

Love the swings!

 Sydney also had another "first" this past month - the swings! Grammie and Sydney take daily walks to the park, sometimes two (weather permitting), to get some solid swing time in. If its too sunny, Sydney will even wear her shades.

Mommy surprised me and was in my crib when I woke!

Sydney is still a very good sleeper. She starts her nighttime routine around 6:30 PM, starting with a bath, and is in her crib by 7:15, and sleeps for about 11 hours. She has also gone down from three naps to two - each nap, anywhere from 1 to 2 hours in length.

Sydney had her first little cold this past month, which was really only a runny nose, but it lasted for about a week. She had a tough time sleeping but was a real trooper. :)

Other firsts in February? First superbowl, first visit to Chuck E. Cheese (see "first cold" above), first time eating yogurt, pasta and chicken, and first Valentine's Day.

I celebrated my Daddy's 35th birthday this past month

So lucky to have a park at the end of our street
