Sydney is acting like a big girl! She is so excited about food these days. She has liked everything pureed and cereal that we have given her so far, squash seems to be her favorite. We are working on the sippy cup, she wants to chew on the spout instead of suck on it. Practice makes perfect! She has drunk from a straw in a glass but has yet to repeat it. We just recently tried solid foods. She is quizzical about Puffs, she loves to play with them and is trying her best to put them in her mouth, but they can be awfully sticky to her hands. She eats them with a puzzled look on her face. Winston is loving it, since she accidently flings them off her highchair. I have also started to let her play with her own spoon and is surprised at how well she is doing (pictures to follow).
She is showing signs that we will have to baby proof soon! She moves herself backwards most of the time when she is on her belly, but when she does get her knees under her, she is starting to rock back and forth. Standing is becoming her favorite thing, we have to manually bend her legs to get her to sit. The moment we get her on her feet she starts jumping up and down and smiling from ear to ear. We have started pushing her around on her toys and is very excited about it.
Sydney had a great valentine's, she loves her blocks from Daddy
Sydney has fun hanging out with her older cousin. Lanie loves to play with her. There are moments of jealousy, but we work through them.
Here is a picture of what Sydney first thought of Puffs but them decided she liked them.
She is getting good at handling a spoon, maybe soon I may put some food on the spoon???
We now have retired the kitchen sink for her baths, she is way TOO interested in the faucet handle. We now have a bathtub in the shower upstairs and she is loving it. Mommy is happy that there is no way she can turn on the hot water and burn her, like she was trying to do in the kitchen sink!
Finally we make it to St. Patrick's Day and we can't forget that since she has plenty of Irish from both sides of her family. She showed up to daycare with the appropriate onesie.
That brings us up to date, I am sure the next post will be filled with many updates. She is starting to pull herself up and she is close to crawling and continuing to teeth away. Thank goodness Spring is in the air, we can't wait to get her outside.
