Sydney is 3!!!!

Sydney coming home from the hospital.

She was so tiny. She was 5 lbs. 12 oz. the day we came

home from the hospital. I think the apple tells the story.

I can't believe my precious little baby is now 3 years old.

Sydney has always been my little buddy.

In her baby blessing her father gave her, he said that she would always be a friend and a great help to her mother.

I have seen how true this is over the past years.

Ever since Sydney could talk, she's been "herding" the 2 older children... getting them to do the things I've asked them to do.

Sydney has a very tender heart and is a true peacemaker.

I love her very much and so very grateful that she came to our family 3 years ago. I love you Sydney. Here are some pictures of Sydney over the years.

Sydney 1 week old

2 days old. The nurses in the hospital brought her to me like this after her bath on day 2. What a sweet Christmas gift.

1 year old

16 months and walking. So tiny and cute.

Mischievious 2 year old... stealing a "taste" of her birthday cake.

3 years old!

3 years old and she still loves to sneak a taste of her cake.
