Saryn Update

Here is my blue eyed Saryn Kate. She is now 13 months old! Here is her attacking her birthday cake on her actual birthday. She is TOTALLY bald and her features are so different than Carys. She has blondish hair in the front and it gets darker the further back you go.. Carys is all brown hair. Saryn obviously has the blue eyes and Carys has hazel. Saryn has a lighter complexion like her daddy and Carys is more olive like me. Opposites. But they 100% love each other!

Saryn is a super DIVA. She has learned that by crying she can get Carys in trouble even if she isn't around her. Okay that is our faults as parents, but still.. She is a MOMMY'S GIRL!!! YAY! Carys LOVES her daddy way more than her mommy. I know that. I have no shame in it. But Saryn, she's all about her mommy!

Saryn is tiny. She looks like a 9 month old and is even in 9 month clothing! Shes like this little tiny person but stuck in a super small infant body. At her 1 year check up she was in the 5th percentile for her weight and only 15th for her height! Good thing she's so darn cute!

The girls love to play together. Carys is usually in charge and doesn't want to share her toys, but everyonce in a while they get in their giggle moods and it melts my heart to watch them together. As I said about Carys earlier, she loves to cook with her kitchen toys. So she has all these fake kitchen utensils. One of which is a can opener. Saryn was crying hysterically one day and when Carys appeared before me and I asked why Saryn was upset she held up the can opener and said so nonchalantly, "I'm just cuttin' baby sisters toes off." I froze and said, "Excuse me?" To which she replied, "Just cuttin' her toes off." At that same moment Saryn came crawling in and I looked at her toes. Indeed, Carys was trying to cut her toes off with her plastic play can opener. Every single one of Saryn's toes was RED in the middle because of Carys' surgical brilliance. She has even put Saryn under a laundry basket and sat on top of the laundry basket so she couldn't get out and "choke and die" by playing with her littlest pet shop toys, which Rob and I have explained are not allowed to be played with by Saryn because she is too small. They keep me on my toes for sure! I love these girls!

I am SURE that Saryn will be the handful, NOT Carys. Carys is a bit bratty here and there, just like a three year old anywhere would be from time to time. She is mainly pretty calm and easily entertained. Saryn.... Different story. Always moving, always into everything, always crying, always wanting up then down then up then down... Accident prone and fearless! I can't wait to see how things go over the next few years and see how the girls develop into their own personalities! So exciting! And... Draining :D
