9 months old and Independence Day!

Sydney turned 9 months old yesterday! As you saw from the previous post, she is almost to getting around all by herself- she will pull herself up on things and then let go and stand there for several seconds. Today I even saw her squat down and pick something up and then stand back up. She's getting good! And she'll sometimes take a step or two away from things- she's not scared!

Here she is climbing out of her high chair! I guess she was done eating!

She's getting better at letting us take pictures of her SMILING!

The day started off with Brian helping the Veteran's Organization in Rexburg put up flags all around town at 6AM. Good for you, dear! Then, we went to the Whoopee Days (don't blame me, I didn't name it that) Celebration for Rexburg. Of course we never take a holiday and set up our board game booth. We did fairly well!

This was our favorite float in the parade. Broulim's is the local grocery store.

Our 4th of July isn't over yet, we're going to Idaho Falls and hang out with some friends as we watch the fireworks! Happy Independence Day everyone!
