UT-Bama Game

We took Sydney to the UT-Bama game this weekend. SHE LOVED IT. She loved seeing all the people, watching all the comotion, giving high 5's and more. Here are a few pics from Saturday's activities.....She needed a long nap to get this party started :) Since I went to Grad School at Bama and Trace has UT ties, we were afraid to confuse Sydney with too many mixed messages. As you can see, her Daddy helped pick out her wardrobe for Saturday.

Grandpa?, Squeeky Shoes, funny Laugh & More

Quacking at feathered friends...

She calls any male that looks over 50 "pa" or "Grandpa"- especially if they are missing a little hair on top. She has done this in Walgreens, while watching the Pres debates, etc.

Fun at Home

I'm always posting about the adventures we have when we leave the house, but we have plenty of fun at home too.

Some of our best times are at home. She's starting to imitate things Trace and I do- it's pretty funny and sweet. She's also getting VERY independent. Here are a few of Sydney's favorite things at home:

*BANDAIDS! Who knew a Barbie bandaid could cause SOOO much excitement for a little girl. I'm not kidding; this means serious excitement and it doesn't matter if there's a boo boo or not.

*Rock, Rock....She loves to rock in the big rocking chair. She will push us out of the way, so she can sit and rock by herself like a big girl.

*"Stir, Stir" She loves to play in the kitchen and really enjoys helping stir up something good.

*Being a typical girl- this includes requesting makeup, hairbows, a purse, etc.....Put on makeup! She now has her own brushes and follow the same routine as her Mommy in the am.

*Help! She loves to help sweep and vaccuum. She's getting really independent and gets really agitated when we try to help her. She insists on holding the broom by herself.

*Eat :). She loves to eat yogurt, cheese sticks, animal crackers and all the normal kid stuff

*Dance! She loves the Dora talking kitchen and pushes the music buttons over and over.

*She also loves to get a towel or blanket and wrap it around her and carry it everywhere!

She loves going to strolls in her wagon, but usually gets out and walks in the neighborhood with her Mommy. She loves the kids and grownups in our neighborhood.

Hot Air Balloon Festival

A couple of weeks ago, we took Sydney to the Hot Air Balloon festival in Knoxville. We enjoyed music, beautiful balloons and time with friends. The kids thought the balloons were very cool, but when the most awesome part of the whole event started (the musical balloon event!), they really just wanted snacks and to play with the football. Sydney doesn't know she was the youngest kid there. She is certain she can play football just the same as a 4 year old boy. Ty was really sweet to share his football with all the kiddos.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Sydney is really into SHOES! She loves to bring us her shoes when she's ready to go and she gets the biggest kick out of trying on other shoes she may find around the house. See her small feet in her Daddy's shoes..... and in her Mommy's shoes.
