It really is crazy how fast time with your children goes – it sounds so cliche, but it really is true. Sydney can roll around pretty easily now – it is her main mode of transportation. You can tell when she sees something she wants that she is thinking really hard how to get there, and then she just starts rolling towards it.

She loves to make noise. Pretty much anything she does that makes noise, she will try to repeat it, and if it keeps making noise, she gets a huge smile on her face. She is obviously very proud of herself. Her favorite thing is to shake something that rattles (like a baby rattle or some kind of a container with something inside) and shake it as fast as she can.

She also loves to look at her books. Usually we will sit with her and read books to her, but she likes to look at her books by herself. Maybe that means she is going to be smart!
