Sydney's birthday

Last week Sydney turned three. I cannot believe it! We are having a party for her on Saturday, so I will post more then, but here are a few pictures on her actual birthday.

Sydney is such a girly girl. She loves to run around in high heels and play dress up. She also loves to cook, and play with her baby dolls. She has a lot of sweetness in her, but like her mommy she is oh so sassy. She likes to put her hands on her hips when she is emphasizing a point ("Hmm. I said...").


I love her energy and her excitement for, well, everything. She loves to talk, but she is most passionate about singing and dancing. She must dance when the mood hits her too. It doesn't matter if we are in the middle of a restaurant, or in the middle of a prayer at church, she will yell, "Mom! I just need to dance!" and then proceed to turn circles and skip around. Sometimes it is cute, sometimes not so much.


Sydney loves animals and each week she has a great new idea of an animal we should have in our backyard. This week it is a gorilla. Which is a definite improvement over the elephant, but not as easy as a jumpy squirrel (we have plenty of those already).


She is such a blessing and I couldn't imagine my days without her.
