Baby no more...

It is amazing how quickly Sydney has grown. Gone is her little infant face and her imobile self. She has taken on the toddler characteristics and is scooting around, but not quite crawling. She is very responsive and social one, always trying to strike up a conversation with a stranger. Her usual babbles consist of "aaaaah" or an earsplitting squeal.

We were thrilled to see her first sign "more". I don't think she knows how to use it in context, but if you say the word "more" she will put her hands together and then look at you patiently waiting.

She visited Santa with her cousins and was happy as could be pulling on his beard (she was making sure he was the real thing). She also really enjoyed Christmas in the Park in San Jose. She loved all the lights and the animated scenes. She bent over backwards to see the snow bubbles falling from the sky. We are very excited to have our first Christmas with her.
