Sydney's 9th Birthday

Syd turned NINE with a party at CLIMB!  She wanted an actual party this year, so we did our best to somehow combine a luau theme with a rock climbing location.  Syd just doesn't do well with crowds focusing on her though, so it was a roller coaster of emotions that day.  Cayden and Beck were there, of course.


Syd H. was so sweet to come hang with lots of kids she doesn't know because that's what true friends do
Charlotte wasn't a fan of climbing!  She got a couple of feet off the ground and called it quits for the day.
Millie and Marian going strong
Nana!

This place takes some practice.  She gets higher each time, but it's a surprising mental game.
the parents' hands get tired from all of the clipping in
Norah and Charlotte
whoa Mills!
the spool chairs are so fun
way to go, Syd!

Norah is the master climber - I think she went to the top of all of the walls!
Luau time!




Norah, Charlotte, Cayden, Beck, Mills, Syd, Syd H, and Marian

Our baby is 9!
She's made some good friends at her new school this year.  It was fun to see her feel so loved by old and new friends!

Millie and Cayden getting all the laughs
Nana gave Syd a corgi because she wants a real one someday.  This one will do for now.  Syd named him Kevin!
One lucky girl

Also, one exhausted girl: mentally and physically.  She got it together at the party, but we decided this would be the last party for her.  She does better with one-on-one fun...bless her little heart.  
The next day was her actual bday: May 16th!  And it just so happened to be a school day.  Angel food cake for breakfast!

She grew three inches in a year!
Almost 4' 8", and approx 92 lbs




I always make them take a few "real" pictures and these turned out so cute!
Still waiting for that other front tooth to come in!
This building with the murals came down a couple of months later.  Check out these shoes Nana got her!  Ooh la la

Kevin was the star of the show.
Nine is looking to be a pretty fun year because this is one funny girl!  Seriously, her sense of humor blows me away.  She's tidy and organized, meticulous with her schoolwork, a good listener and a good helper, a follower of rules, a bit of a procrastinator, and always out to get a few laughs.  She's still incredible at entertaining herself and talks to herself loud enough for us to hear.  Still pretty innocent and I'm happy to keep her that way as long as possible.  My little hand holder.  We love you Syd Pid, aka Piddy, aka Freshy!
