Sydney is our second daughter adopted from China.  She will be 3 on Christmas Day.  She is extremely active, talkative and has a funny personality.  She loves to sing and enjoys music. My husband is from Hong Kong and he speaks a little Mandarin to both our girls.  Sydney, at times, combines Chinese and English when she is speaking to the family.

She loves pretty dresses and is very much a girly girl!  My first daughter is a tomboy and loves power rangers and sports.  Sydney is a go-getter and not scared of anything. She also wants to do everything that Jia-Jia does.  She had some appetite in China and she still can pack it away.  Man, can that girl eat!

    Our two girls are VERY close and adopting Sydney was the best thing we could have ever done for this family.   Alex feels like she has someone that is like her and she has a very strong connection with her.  She told me that her heart is HUGE since Sydney came along.  They do have their sibling rivalry at times but that is only once in a blue moon.  I have to say that my heart is touched when I see them together and I just cant imagine life without those two.  Their bond is like no other.
