Photo Shoot

Sylvia got this sweater from her Aunt Ginny for Christmas. It was a little big at first but now fits perfectly. Just the right thing for a photo shoot. I cannot believe Sylvia is already 15 months. Her hair is finally long enough for a little ponytail on top or little pigtails in back. She gets to watch a show when she gets her hair done.

One of Sylvia's favorite things to do these days is ride her wooden rocking horse. She gets pretty wild and I too wondered if she was too close to the dresser here but she didn't hit it.






Sylvia also enjoys playing in her room. There are toys in her closet, a mirror for admiring herself, and a rocker & footstool to play on.

Dress Up

A few weeks ago, Sylvia played dress up for the first time. There are bins of hats, mittens, and shoes within reach in her bedroom. Sylvia picked out these two hats and handed them to me to put on her and then she gave me the mitten and stuck out her hand. She wore them around the house for quite awhile. There's even an mirror in her room for her to admire herself.

Pool & Museum with Henry

If you haven't been able to tell already...we spend a lot of time with our friends, Henry and Linda.

In preparation for my family's trip to Grand Bear Resort (an indoor water park) we took the kids swimming. Sylvia still loves it as much as she did last summer. It's getting harder to pose the kids for pictures now that they know how to walk.


We also took another trip to the children's museum. Linda is pregnant so I am the designated slide goer downer. We do not know who the little girl waiting for us at the bottom of the slide is, but she liked the kids...and she liked to scream.


Sylvia didn't even know how to walk last time we went to the museum so it was fun to watch her navigate herself around...especially down this ramp. She walks on her tip toes a lot so she figured it out pretty quickly.




A trip to the grocery is always a must. Sylvia and Henry were more interested in the bakery this time. I think she was disappointed to find out the cookies weren't real.




I've got at least two more buy one get one free coupons so I'm sure we'll be going back before long.

Blue Paisley Nursing Cover & Burp Cloth

Kitchen Cabinets

Opening and closing cabinet doors has been a favorite activty in our house for sometime now. There are two cabinets that she is allowed to take things out of and she seems to stick to those two. Recently, Sylvia learned that she can fit inside the cabinets.

Crayons

Sylvia loves playing with her crayons. She has learned that they make marks on paper, but her favorite thing to do is pick them up and put them down.
