So Big!

Remember how little she was the first time she drove?

She's grown a little bit!
She got to help daddy pull the truck a few feet up the driveway!
Then she went for a ride on the garbage can! She's so big!

We took Sydney to the doctor yesterday for her one year check up. She is 29 1/2 inches long and weighs 21 lbs 10 oz. She's in the 60th percentil for weight and the 50th for height, and her big old noggin' is still in the 97th percentile. She's growin' big brains!

We've been shopping for car seats and long shirts lately (I'm finding that my shirts are inching up while my pants are inching down, so there's a couple new inches that need to be covered!) . Being tall already, it's been a little interesting finding shirts long enough - good thing it's the fashion right now! On the car seat front, I'm finding that not all car seats work so well in all cars, and that it's a little tricky getting 2 car seats in the back seat together, especially both rear facing. What happens when we get 3 kids? With the car seat rules these days, we'll have to have 3 side by side! Nice little situation, but we'll figure it out! (But not for a long time still!)

On another note, Sydney is at such a fun age! She is so perceptive about everything lately! We took some garbage out to the curb today and she spotted a leaf lying on the road. There was some water running down the gutter so we sat down and made leaf boats and floated them down stream. I gave her leaves and she tossed them into the water (instead of eating them!), then watched them float away and lifted her arms up in a "where did it go?" gesture. It was so fun.
