Sydney's 1st Birthday

Our little sweetpea, Sydney turned 1 this past weekend.  


She loves animals and looking at books, so here she is looking at one of her animal picture books that she got.  She points at the pictures and laughs and says, "oooohhhh"

Sydney's first taste of chocolate.
The beautiful cupcakes that Aunt Julianne made.  Oh, she makes the best sweets!

A little apprehensive about all these people watching her . . .

She took her first bite.  And . . . pretty much no reaction.

And that's basically how it went bite after bite after bite.
  
Then we let her try one of Aunt Jewel's delicious cupcakes. 
 She slowly ate her cupcake and became less and less enthusiastic about her birthday celebration.

Is this the onset of a sugar coma?

When she got tired of looking at that plate, she found a new place for it to go.

And it stayed there for a good five minutes.

Our sweet little birthday girl was pretty much done with her birthday festivities.  
So I washed her up and put her in bed, which she seemed pretty happy about.
Maybe she's not a cake person.


Okay, now, time for a walk down memory lane.
Here are some snippets from Sydney's First Year in our world.
Me and Hayden with our "Cindy" bellies just a week or two before Sydney was born.

1st BYU game

1st Balloon Fiesta.

 1st photo shoot with Erin.


1st Halloween--she was Hammy the pig from Toy Story.

1st Christmas

One day she was playing with this apple, and we took about a million pictures of her because we thought she looked like a little baby Snow White with her fair skin and dark hair.

Just hangin' out in the pack.

White Sands--she liked it for the first couple of minutes and then she was mad the rest of the time.

 
1st Easter.

Chillin' with her brothers.

1st steps.  She started walking when she was about 11 months.

just a cute picture Daphne took.

Sydney likes to say "oooooohhhh!"

oh my goodness, we just love this girl to pieces.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Pea.
