A Big-Girl Kind of Day

Today was an exciting day for Sydney... she got a big "present"!  (We try to hype her up when she gets something new, to teach her to be excited... it works!)  Her new furniture was delivered today, along with her mattress.  Daddy Dearest was so sweet to have her whole room set up by the time Sydney and I got home from work and daycare.  It looks great!!  I will post more pictures of the actual room later, as tonight I just got some of Sydney in the bed.  We also filmed her face as she saw the new furniture... she got a big smile and ran over to the bed, saying, "Up! Up!"

We went out to dinner tonight (to Chili's, my fave!) and Sydney sat in the booster seat instead of the high chair.  This may be something we should have done a while ago (who knows?) but she did great.  Plus, she totally drank Stephen's water out of his cup, holding it herself, no straw or anything.  And she didn't spill it!  Wow!  When did my little baby become such a little girl??

Here is our nighttime ritual, this time in a new setting:

I was a little nervous as to how she'd be without her crib, but I just checked on her, and this is what I found:

All seems well in Big-Girl land.  Sweet dreams, little girl!  More pics later!
