15 + Months!

Sydney is about 15 1/2 months old now...where does the time go?!?! She is so much fun these days! Her funny little laugh reveals her many teeth that have all decided to pop out at the same time! She is walking around everywhere and even beginning to allow her sissy to twirl her around! I love when her Daddy gets home and she squeals and makes her way to him as fast as her chubby little legs will get her there! She loves to eat and bananas are her favorite. Although she is not talking YET she is beginning to become quite a babbler! Also, she is beginning to really like reading and will actually sit still through a story during the day. She gives the best big, slobbery kisses and is so ticklish!

At night when I go to check on her and her sister when they are all snug in their beds, and I have time to just look at them and reflect on the day for a few minutes I get overwhelmed by the goodness of our Lord.

Oh, and tonight she had her first ice cream cone! Let's just say she didn't need any instruction on how to eat it! It was gone in a matter of minutes!!

Our "New Addition"!

NO, we are not having another baby...yet! On Monday one of the dear, sweet young ladies from our church moved in with us! JJ has come to stay with us and we are so excited! We have prayed for a while about someone moving in with us and we are so grateful that the Lord has answered our prayers by bringing us together! We are all looking forward to learning and growing from one another.

Oh, and the girls absolutely love her! JJ is a hairdresser and yesterday she gave Reagan two very lovely French braids and let her sleep with one of her blankets. Even Sydney has gone to her without a fuss at all (which those of you who know Sydney know that is a BIG deal!).

Play Day!

Last Friday Sissy had us over for a fun play day! We were able to stay until late evening and had a blast! We played in the pool and then when everyone else left we ventured out to Publix with all the kiddos! They all did great! My mom's looonnnngg time friends the Savoys were down for the weekend so we were able to have dinner with them that evening, too. The girls all went to bed at their normal time, but we could still hear them giggling and talking well into the late hours of the night. What possibly could those little girls find to talk so much about?!?! It sure does start young!

Last Saturday

We had a great Saturday afternoon last weekend! We just played in our little pool and picked one of our pineapples. Steve swung Reagan around and I finally dunked Sydney under the water! We waited until it was almost time to go inside before I did that because we didn't think she would like it too much. But she did great!! She likes the water almost as much as her sister!

Little Firecracker!

For the 4th of July, Reagan and Steve went down to the "big red and white tent" down the street from us and picked out some fireworks and sparklers! Reagan was a little hesitant, but had a lot of fun! As for Sydney, well, I'm not so sure she liked them too much, but I bet next year she will!!

Bowling!

A couple of weeks ago, some of us from our Home Group went out and bowled. Thankfully, there were no "super bowlers" in our group!! =) We had a great time and the girls did so good! Reagan even helped roll a couple of balls down the alley! And did you know that you actually get buzzed when you go over the line on the alley? I didn't before, but I do now!!!

Sunny Day!

Here are some pictures from a very sunny yesterday!
