Here's the thing about being the youngest child- you have to watch all your siblings experience things first and you have to really work on your patience while you bide your time until it's your turn. I bought Sydney's baptism dress years ago (yes I'm that crazy) and it's just been sitting in the closet waiting for her to grow into it. Now and again she'd try it on, shrug her shoulders up real high, gather the skirt so she wouldn't trip when she walked and tell me it fits just fine. However, when we pulled it out for her baptism photos, Sydney was delighted to discover it fit like a glove. She grew right into it just perfectly!
I was hoping to catch some fall colors at the temple before the weather turns. It was cool, but really windy (curses Windy City!) and the sun was angled right into Sydney's eyes. She was a trooper though and I think we ended up with a lot of great shots.
I love these arches!
Twirling.
This used to be a water fountain that has been filled in with plants. This is where we got the fall backdrop I was hoping for.
The sun was just really hard on her eyes.
Even though her face is mostly in shadow, she was so much happier at this angle.
Giving her a break from the sun- her cute little hands clasped behind her back.
The dandelion fountain is so iconic to me. The sun combined with the wind made a rainbow there on Sydney's left shoulder!
Cute little curtsey.
We dug out her blessing dress which she was pretty happy to see again.
She used to be so tiny!
We've been anticipating Sydney's eighth birthday for a long time now and I really hope it's one for the record books as we wrap up this era!
