Sydney's Walking

Sydney is 19 months old and just started walking on her own! She is doing great!
We just moved a few weeks ago and everyone is adjusting really well!
We are so excited how well Sydney is doing. She is ready to go to the beach at Grandma and Papa's with her friends from Pennsylvania in July!!!

16 Months

Sydney is doing great. She had surgery last month and had her adnoids out and tubes in her ears. Sydney is crawling all over the place and talking so much!  We can't wait for the nice weather so we can play outside!

15 Months...

Sydney is doing great. She is moving around everywhere and will get herself into just about anything! Sydney is talking so much saying hi and bye and loves being around people! Syd just spent a week at her Grandma and Papa's house while we were in Paris and had a blast. She had so much fun spending time with them that she didn't want to come home!

Winter 2009

Syd is doing great... We had a great hanukah together as a family and a wonderful new year. Sydney finally has 2 teeth at 13 months! She is beginning to move around alot, and loves to talk!! Here are some recent pictures of Sydney.

One Year Old!!

Sydney turned one on November 21st! What a year we had. Sydney has done so well these past few months and has overcome so much. Sydney is a really happy baby and has the most amazing smile and laugh. She can really light up a room. 

We are looking forward to a great year ahead for Sydney.  Most of all having Sydney home with us for the holidays this year and sharing special times together with our family and friends.  

10 Months Old!!!

Sydney is now over 10 months old. She is doing great, sitting up on her own and beginning to talk! We can't believe she will be a year old in November. Sydney is very active, she takes a variety of classes which she loves. Swimming, playgroups, yoga, and music which is one of her favorites!

Syd has made lots of new friends along the way, but has not forgotten her old ones. She made a visit back the BIDMC NICU to visit all the special people who helped her. It was nice to be a visitor, and not a resident on the floor.

Little Miss Personality!

Sydney has made so much progress since her discharge from the hospital on April 7th. She is getting bigger and stronger and now weighs 13lbs 6 ounces! We went to Children's Hospital for Sydney to be tested to come off daytime oxygen. She passed her test and we are in the process of weaning her off. It is so exciting for us to see her beautiful face without the canula on.

Her personality comes out more and more each day. She is laughing and smiling. Sydney loves her playmat and playing with all her toys, especially looking at herself in the mirror.

It is not uncommon for Syd to sleep through the night now. Sometimes mom has to wake her up to start her day. Sydney loves to go out to eat, and participate in play groups.

Sydney is working hard at becoming stronger by exercising. She does tummy time, and lots of stretches. Syd also sits in her bumbo seat which helps build her core and neck muscles.

Syd has come such a long way since her delivery. She never stops amazing us with her spunky attitude, and fiesty will. She is always talking, and letting us know what she wants, even if we don't know what she is saying.
