Living in fast forward

I cannot believe the time that passed since we “blogged” last!! So sorry to all our friends and family! It just feels like time is flying by! Where to begin! Boy oh boy!! Well, Sydney’s skills are increasing daily anymore. She is able to repeat most of what we ask her to say! But I have to start off with this one. Sydney, about 3 weeks ago started counting to 10! The three of us were sitting down to dinner one night and Jeremy was counting something out for Sydney and stopped around 4, well Syd picked right up with 5 then Jeremy said 6 and she continues with 7,8, 9 and “t” for 10. It was amazing! 17 months and counting to 10. I’m sure some of you with your baby geniuses may not be too impressed but we are!!! I’m hoping we can record this for you all and hopefully post it on the blog for you all to hear. Along with her many tricks, animals sounds are a favorite! She can do a dog, cat, monkey, sheep, coyote and our favorite the cow. Where she got this cow sound from, we don’t know, but she will never learn to moo because we incourage the “new” sound. When’s she’s in the mood, if you ask her what the moo cow says, she crinkles her cure little face up and yells out “new!” not moo but new! She’s able to recognize many different pictures and put some wood puzzles together by herself. Some of her vocabulary is: hello, see ya, baby, mommie, daddie, mimi, pappy, gi gi, more, please, thank you, drink, pizza, bath, shoe, swing, up, tickle, ducky, no, yea, oh no, uh oh, car, ball, boat, kitty, choo choo (train), fishy, cake, cookie, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, teeth, shoulder, elbow and elmo. These are all words that she not only she says on her own, but she can recognize too. Body parts that she can point too on command, hair, head, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, cheeks, tongue, teeth, ears, elbow, fingers, belly, knee (sometimes), and toes.

So now you see why we don’t have time to blog! Haha We will try to update more often! Hope everyone’s well!!
