My Sydney... AKA Beast

Josh is big on nick names and is always coming up with some totally weird or random thing to call my girls. Sydney grew up as Gums (cause of the whole no teeth thing when your a baby) among many others. At some point during the years, (yes years!) when Sydney was in the terrible 2 stage, she got the nick name "Beast." It stuck and is now her official nick name but it's meant to be endearing now. So if you hear us call our sweet little girl "Beast," you know it's with love. So my little Beast is growing up so fast. She LOVES her baby and we have so much fun with her.



She is learning how to read and loves to practice reading to Ellie.


Her new thing is to make her own food. That means anything she can
get her hands on in the kitchen goes into one bowl of yumminess.
Okay, maybe not so yummy, but so fun. This turned in to ...

this.
She even baked it. Yay! It made the house smell wonderful for hours.
(She put a bunch of different spices in there...) Thanks Beast!


I decided to help her make something edible. We made Josh's favorite,
Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Aunt Victoria's recipe.
(FYI, we don't usually bake in the nude. just on special occasions)

Every night after she brushes her teeth she gets mine
and Josh's toothbrushes and mouthwash all ready for us. Such a sweetie.



She is no longer a beast, but she's our Beast and we love her.

Sweet post--and yes, they are growing up so fast, aren't they??

I can't believe she and Sammy will be in Kindergarten in Sept. Or that Hannah will be in pre-k...CRAZY!

Haha! I second Dana, baking naked does sound like a good time... :) She's definitely the prettiest beast I've ever seen. She's such a sweet girl, and Fallon is SOOO in love with her.
