More Syd Pid Milestones

The month of June brought a lot of new things for Syddles...most notably, she is officially weaned.  I nursed her for the last time on June 19th, right after she turned 13 months old.  The Gentlease formula is going really well, and we should start trying a true milk-based formula sometime soon.  I'm so thankful I was able to nurse her for so long.  My last baby...

we moved her from the lobster chair to the big girl high chair, which also makes for a big girl mess

 wheeeeee

Our poor girl is having a hard time with 3 top teeth coming in.  She's been extremely whiny the past 48 hours.  Hope those things come in soon.  She's also been a bit clumsy lately and has scraped her knees all up...and her nose!

First time to go to the pool!  She was not a fan.  I got this wicked cool swimsuit that has floaties built into it...it looks hilarious in person.  I guess it's wasted on her though...she wants nothing to do with the pool.  Fine by me. ;)

She picks things up all day long and offers them to us, like a prize.  She also points at everything, especially if she wants a bite. ;)

Her first cell phone.  We charged one of our old cell phones for her to use, just like we used to do with Millie.  I've never seen her happier ;)

Although it doesn't look like it here, she loves to ride on her trike.  She's also really great on our morning walks...really relaxed.  Always with a puff cup full of cheerios.  Can you give a kid too many cheerios?!

I'm pretty sure she's started saying "momma".  Usually when she's hurt or upset, but I'll take it!  She still loves to be swung about, as well.  She's so happy 99% of the time and always excited to be included in whatever activity we have going on.  I love her enthusiasm ;)

She gives great kisses & hugs!  It's so sweet...she gives them on command.  Probably the only person in the house that doesn't want kisses is the one she's most generous with: Buddy.  And it's always an open-mouth kiss.  Gahhhh!  Here's some video

going in for a kiss...

 ...then a little grab

She's so funny...we love our Pid Pid (as Millie calls her).
