Annie looks like how I feel every time I go to the hairdresser’s.
…Okay, I’ve lived in the West too long. I just referred to The SALON as the hairdresser’s. I need some highlights. STAT.
Somehow, I think Ryan’s parents — retired dog groomers — would be proud to see Syd’s a natural. And I’m thinkin’ we’d have better luck keeping bows on Annie than we do on Sydney.

Sydney surprised us at dinner with a rousing game of Peekaboo! She totally initiated it, and I recognized her effort right away. How cool to see her cognitive and social skills advance like this. …Am I one of those parents who thinks her kid can do no wrong? No, I’m quite sure she can. And will. But, I am definitely one of those parents who thinks her kid is the smartest, coolest kid EVER. Get used to it. (wink)

Now that Sydney is mobile, she is pretty much obsessed with Annie. Let’s nest in Annie’s bed. Let’s play with Annie’s toys. Let’s splash in Annie’s dog water. Let’s crawl on Annie. Let’s crawl on Annie some more. Let’s… Annie Annie Annie. It’s really darn cute. And I wouldn’t be surprised if “Annie” is one of Sydney’s first and favorite things to say soon.

And the heat is back. Today, Daddy filled a bowl with water and we had splish splash time. With Sydney’s creamy skin, bright blue eyes, the sun shining on the hardwoods and sparkling in the bowl, it was like watching a painting come to life.

Thank God it’s not Ayn Rand.

We’ve had cooler mornings and a few cool days this week. Syd got to sport her new polka-dot ensemble. And her first headband. Which stayed on for all of 5 minutes.

SOMEBODY loves her daddy. Whenever he comes home from work, she starts to bounce and rock wherever she is and has nothing but smiles and hugs and chatter for him as soon as she sees him. Can’t say as I blame her. He’s a good man and a GREAT dad.
