Happy Birthday to Sydney!

About a week ago my mom came in town to visit. We spent a couple of days roaming around Boise and then came to La Grande. I really enjoyed having my mom in La Grande to see where we live, Sydney's house, her toys and all the things that make her happy in life. While my mom was here we got to have an early birthday party for Sydney as well.

Then yesterday, we had another party for Sydney's birthday. Sydney was scared of the fire on her candles at the first party, but I was pleasantly surprised that last night she was willing to try and blow it out! We were lucky to be able to have the party at a time when Andy could Skype in and see the important parts. Sydney really misses her Daddy while he's at school in Alaska and gets excited when she gets to see him on the computer. She has also been talking all day about her Mickey cake and how she got to eat Mickey's ear... haha. She loves her balloon and we've had a really nice day since she's so excited about her new toys that she has been playing all by herself! She surprises me with how grown up she is getting every day:) I'll be posting a ton of pics since Andy wasn't able to see very well and my family wasn't around so enjoy! (As always I haven't gotten the pictures everyone took but I hate to wait to long to post, so I'll put the rest on the family websites eventually) PS... today when I put Sydney down for nap after about 30 minutes I heard "Hi, mama" from behind me. She then said "I put my blankie away." I went in her room to find the light on and her binkie and blankie safely in their drawer." However she still hadn't napped. She wasn't too happy when I put her back in bed and moved her stool so she can't reach the light switch. Good thing she went to sleep now. She's never opened her door before and now the saga begins.... What perfect timing too... NOT
