Sylvie's 1st birthday!!

The day we got home from Yellowstone was Sylvie's Birthday. Luckily we called Albertson's and had them make a cake for Sylvie which was waiting at Babbie and Grandpa's when we rolled in. Sylvie was beyond exhausted, but still made the most of it!!

This is before she started to eat the cake...

And this is after!!

We got Sylvie ALL girl toys for her birthday! The poor thing only had cars and planes (which she perfectly makes the noises to) to play with before this day!! She loves dolly, and picks her up and babbles in a high pitched voice because she wants you to say "Hello Sylvie, I'm Dolly." This started out with just Dolly, but has now generalized into any inanimate object!!

Here is Sylvie rockin' her adorable pink cowgirl boots which I just had to include as a part of her birthday present!!


Here is her bear walk. She is not yet walking, so this is the way she prefers to get around!!

She picks up anything she is playing with, shows it to you and emphatically babbles something. She is very matter of fact!!

Her favorite thing to look at when she wakes up in the morning and babble about is this picture which is hanging on the wall right by our bed...

She rarely sucks her fingers anymore except when she is very tired. Here is a picture of her in her crib right before she fell asleep...


Words she says at 1:
mama
dada

pretty, pretty (when she puts necklaces around her neck, and when I do her hair, or put on clothes)
