Syddles Goes to School

Well...school is a strong word.  Play time away from mommy is more accurate.  Today was Syd's first day of Mother's Day Out!  I thought I was going to be fine, but then Millie and I dropped her off and tried to sneak out...but she caught us.  Then I felt guilty all day knowing she was sad when we left.  Ms. Bridget confirmed that Syd had a rough start, but once they went on their outdoor buggy ride, she was fine after that.  She seemed to be doing fine when we went to pick her up, and I almost melted when I saw how happy she was to see me.  My Syd Pid.  My baby.

Here's what her day looks like:

I've been trying to train her to do the door pics, like I've always done with Mills.

She's too quick for me though....

...until I ask Millie to stand next to her.

Millie can always make her smile ;)

A few new milestones for Syddles:  she's log-rolling everywhere now!  She can meow like a kitty cat.  She says "no" and communicates quite well, considering her limited vocabulary.  She climbs on everything!  She loves books and being read to...especially peekaboo books or books with flaps.  And big news...tonight, I found another tooth!  She is having the strangest tooth eruption order.  First, she got an upper central incisor (one week shy of her first birthday).  Just one tooth.  It's all the way in now, so its very noticeable that she has only one.  Then she got both of her bottom central incisors...not at the exact same time, but both between 14-15 mos old.  Then tonight, I found an upper first molar on her left side.  Uh...okay.  So I guess she has one top tooth to bite with and one to chew with.  I feel like a sous chef I do so much chopping of food into tiny bits.  I wish these teeth would hurry up!  For comparison, Beckham is 5 weeks younger and has 15 teeth!
