meet sylvie gabriella

for the first 6 months of sylvie's life, she slept. 
as most babies do. then, she slept 3/4 of the time and when she wasn't
 sleeping, she was watching. 

                            
 in the last three months, sylvie has awoken and is aware of the 

world around her.

   and the world is aware of HER

sylvie is A character. 

if you know her, you know what i mean. 

            from her little lamb laugh (with the rattle in her voice) to her bobbing head. 
she is full of life and excitement! she's always bouncing and wide-eyed.       

she eats anything and everything she finds on her path. 

there is no stopping this little sunshine. 

i can't believe she's 1 and i couldn't be more happy about it. 

she finally sleeps all the way from 7 til 7 without any 
early morning wake-up calls. 

she no longer just sits and watches her sissy.

she claps and waves and bounce/dances along with her or to any music. 

anytime i start to sing, she joins in. aaaah aaaaaaaah.

all this being said. she can turn from happy to MAD with the blink of an eye. 

sylvie has a wise soul. 

i'm proud of the girl i know sylvie will become, 

but so happy to have her as my baby for now.

as long as possibly possible.

as long as i can remember, sylvie pats my left shoulder when i pick her up from her crib. 
i love my little sylvie!
