IT'S OFFICAL!

Hi Everyone, so sorry for the delay in posting. Barb yelled at Jeremy the other day about it! We've had way too much going on, with mommy finishing up her play, cousin Brett's first holy communion, etc, etc! But we had to make time to get on to tell everyone's Syndey's big news! She took her first "independant" steps on 5/1/08. She finally took a stroll across Mimi and Pappy's living room on thursday night. As most of you know, Syndey's been cruising along anything that wouldn't move but would not take that "step out on faith" by herself. We been having so much fun with her testing out her new skills, I think the hardest part for her, is she wants to go, but go fast! I think that's mommies fault for making her run across the living room while I held her hands, but I would get such a giggle out of her I couldn't resist. We play "ready, set, go!" I would hold her really still and once I said go, we run run run! Which usually ended up in Mommie dragging her across the room. But its fun and that's all that matter right? haha She never ceases to amaze us. It really interesting to watch those little wheels turning in her head. You can tell she's learning more and more how to communicate. Just this morning, I picked up our phone and started dialing to call Mimi and Sydney heard me dialing and starting repeating "hello, hello" Which actually sounds like "owo" She shapes her cute little lips so tight and out comes "owo" On Thursday, Jeremy and I took Sydney for soem all too important grocery shopping, and Sydney walked ALL around that big store, with mommie only offering a finger to hold and spent the time walking around and socializing, every person who came past her she had to greet with a wave and "hi!" It was so neat to see that transition from people having to come up and say hi to her for her to respond and how quickly she learned that wait a minute, I'm not waiting for them to say hi first, I'll start the conversation! Looks like mom has some competition with being Miss Social Butterfly of the year! haha
