Sydney has started the talking phase or better known as the squawking phase. She is such a chatter box, she definitely takes after her mom in that. She seems to want to let everyone know she is here when she starts talking and then when everyone stops she smiles. My favorite is our morning routine. Sydney is addicted to pacifiers in her crib she has them all around her and often when I go and get her in the morning (yes she is sleeping through the night most nights) she will have one in her mouth and one in each hand. She quickly spits the one out in her mouth and gives me the biggest grin I have ever seen and kicks her arms in legs in excitement. I can't imagine there being any better way to be woken up in the morning!
Sydney has 3 teeth, fuzzy hair (its like a static ball), lean and lengthy, sitting, rolling and can take 1 or 2 army crawls before slipping. She tries to crawl then her arm falls out from under her after a step or two and then she just rolls to wherever she needs to get to.
We started giving her food a week before she turned six months because she seemed so interested in what we were doing at dinner. She likes her oatmeal better than rice cereal, LOVES vegetables, especially sweet potatoes and brocolli but hasn't been such a fan of fruits. I think I could have done a better job picking sweeter apples and pears but so far they haven't been much of a hit. It took her a little while to get puffs but now she loves them and will eat them by the handful.
Her brother and her are quite a pair. He sits and watches her and he dances, sings or plays with a toy to make her laugh and then he thinks hes pretty special. Its great to see them start interacting, and every night Samuel has to give her a kiss goodnight its sweet.
We took Sydney's six month pictures a few weeks ago and then turned out great. I have included a couple of them and the link if you want to see more.
I can't believe our little girl is already so big, the moments are going like double speed. Sydney has added such an amazing dynamic to our family, it warms my heart on how great this little girl is. Here are some of the pictures we have taken recently.
