She turned to me with this big fake grin and said &#8220;cheeeeeese!&#8221; When did she learn that? I suspect her grandmother taught her. The speed at which she picks up new bits of knowledge is amazing.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.amptoons.com\/blog\/images\/sydneyumbrella03.jpg' class='centered' alt='Sydney with an umbrella' \/><\/p>\n<p>Also please note that she&#8217;s wearing clothes this week (for a change). It&#8217;s only because she can&#8217;t undo the top of this dress without help; any item of clothing she can take off herself winds up decorating the floor pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.amptoons.com\/blog\/images\/sydneyumbrella04.jpg' class='centered' alt='Sydney with an umbrella' \/><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why we bother buying toys &#8211; like many kids, Sydney usually has more fun playing with anything but.
