Sydney 6 months
11/29/2009
Sweet Sydney,
Today you are 6 months old. I can't believe how fast time is going, it seems like just yesterday you were born. Maybe because you are our last baby things seem more magnified to me, more intense, more bittersweet.
You have changed so much in the past few months, it's shocking to me. At 6 months, you can now roll over from your back to your belly. You can laugh, the sweetest laugh. You grunt when we tickle you, and your eyes light up at the sight of your big brother. You follow him with your eyes everywhere he goes. The way you look at him melts my heart. You love him, I can tell that already. You now sleep in your crib at night. Although you wake up multiple times per night still, you are still in there none the less. We are working on getting you down for naps, although you aren't too fond of sleeping more than a half hour at a time during the day. Every now and then you will surprise me, like the other day, you took a 3 hour nap and I think I checked on you 90 times to make sure you were okay. I've recently realized that you like to sit in your highchair and play with your toys. It gives mommy a break, since you are spoiled and like to be held constantly. I definitely indulge you in that though. I am very guilty. =) You talk your baby talk like crazy. I could sit here and listen to you babble and squeal all day long. It warms my heart to watch you, especially when you look up and realize Mommy is watching you and you smile so big.
You had your first Holiday. It was Thanksgiving. I'm kicking myself, I didn't get one picture of you. That will bug me forever I think. But you did great. You ate rice cereal mixed with carrots while we ate our dinner.
The day after Thanksgiving is when we put up our Christmas Tree. Your eyes lit up when you saw it, and you just stared. All the lights and shiny stuff on it, you really liked.
Sydney you are a constant joy to me. The way you look at me, the light in your eyes, your sweet laughs, your coo's. You are always making me smile. No amount of sleepless nights, or cries could make me love you any less. You are such an amazing baby girl. Even though it is so bittersweet to see you grow (so so fast), a part of me can't wait to watch your personality blossom, and to see the little girl, and soon to be woman you will be become. I am so proud of you, and I burst with joy when people tell me how adorable and sweet you are. Yeah, that's MY baby girl. You are so amazing!
At 6 months, you can:
I love you sweet girl,
Mama

At 6 months, you can:
- Roll over
- Laugh
- Babble non stop
- Follow everyone with your head and eyes
- Eat rice cereal mixed with baby food and water
- You've had Squash, Carrots, Applesauce, Bananas, Chocolate (shhh), Ranch Dressing, and Cool Whip
- Understand who Mama is, and cry when I leave your eyesight
- Play with your toys, and you're learning to rattle and shake them
- grab things within your reach... your hand eye coordination is improving
- jump like crazy in your Jump-a-Roo
- play with toys when I bathe you in the sink
- smack your lips when you see food that you want
- move your butt up and down when laying on your stomach, trying to figure out how to crawl.
- Smile responsively and giggle to silly noises that we make at you. Especially the Kissy noise, and the razzing noise. You think those are just so funny
There are many more things that make you who you are, but we'd be here all day =)
I love you sweet girl,
Mama
