After many weeks, I finally go around to posting some new pictures. I split them into 2 albums. The first contains the 4 weeks up through 15 months. The second contains the remaining 2 weeks. There's a lot here but as you'll see, they were taken on a smaller number of days than you might expect for such a long time period. That's the result of various ailments, injuries, and the switch to a 1-nap a day schedule cutting into our cuteness. You can check them out by clicking either picture below.

...and now for some sample pictures and stories
One of the things Sydney got for Christmas was this tunnel. For some reason though, she wouldn't go near it. The first three pictures show me attempting to entice her to try it out. I shimmied through it a few times, stood up with it on me (pointing to the ceiling), played peek a boo, etc. Eventually I got her to go in. All the while, Meghan was laughing hysterically at my antics. More recently, I went through it and Sydney crawled in after me. She for whatever reason felt the need to PASS me in the tunnel, climbing up my legs, over my back, and right past me.
"Hey Doe!" "No!" "Eh No!" "No!!!" Sydney loves to talk on the phone. ...except when someone else is on the phone trying to talk to her.
The slide was another fun Christmas gift. Sydney has quite a bit of trouble swinging her feet into the right position after she climbs to the top, but she still tries.
We've also recently tried changing our eating habits. Among our discoveries - Dipping! Sydney loves to dip anything whether it's French fries in ketchup, crackers in hummus, bread sticks in marinara, or toaster waffles in maple syrup. She also likes popcorn. Topping it all off, she now eats bananas right out of the peel.
