Eleven Months

Sydney is eleven months old today.

There's good news and there's bad news.

The good news is that there are twelve new pictures over on Picturetrail to see. I had a hard time deleting them out and choosing just a few to post, so they're all there.

The bad news is... I know this is going to be tough for the grandparents to hear, but there are people out there that don't care as much as you do, so this is bad news for them.

The bad news is that there are twelve new pictures posted over on Picturetrail to see...and many of them will be featured in this blog post. (But the good thing is that you don't have to go over to Picturetrail to see the rest if you don't want to.)

Today helped reinforce the idea that next month - Sydney's one year birthday - will be the last regular picture she gets taken with Fievel. As much as I enjoy doing it, a mobile baby is not that easy to work with.

"Okay, Sydney, let's get this picture ta..."

"No, no, Sydney. The idea, if you remember, is to get you next to Fievel. He is the constant that shows how much you've grown. Now le..."

We did finally manage to get a few pictures of her actually next to Fievel. (Unfortunately, the ones where she rolled on top of Fievel were too blurry to salvage. They were even funnier.))

Next, of course, came the shots of Sydney up on the bed next to Fievel and the My-Oh-My Octopi Octopus. There were several of these. They were all unique and I kept them all. They were too good to get rid of any and not share them.

There's Sydney being shy...

I love how you can still tell she's smiling even though you can only see one of her eyes.

There's Sydney looking in Octopus' mirror...

And there's Sydney concentrating really hard...

Sydney Using the Force

I love how it looks like she's trying to use the Force to remove her sock the rest of the way.

And, of course, there's the plain, old Sydney being happy and normal...

And last, but not least, the photo shoot was over so it was time for Mommy to have some fun. And she decided it would be most fun to...uh...put Sydney on her head?

Grandma B says thank you for all the pictures. What a beautiful, happy girl she on on her 11 month birthday.

Looking forward to seeing her in person soon.

Last time we measured her she was about 32 inches. That was on or close to her nine-month birthday.

Sydney is pretty much in 18 month clothes now. There are a few 12 month items that still fit well enough to put her in. (Like the shirt and sweater in these pictures - though look how the torso of the sweater rides up.) But the long sleeves and long legs of the 12 month clothes tend to ride up a lot. The jeans in these shots are 18 month.

She can't wear the 12 month sleepers anymore because her feet are too tight in them. She's strictly 18 month there.

And she's around 24-25 pounds in weight. Though we haven't weighed her in a little while.

How delightful! And, how exciting!
Waving bye, bye, and rolling over. Watch out world, here she comes!

I can hardly wait to hear her doctor's comments when she goes in for her one year checkup.
