8 months old

I'm really not ok with how fast Sydney is growing up.  What is it about the second child that goes by so fast??  On Dec. 18th, she turned 8 months old and gets cuter and more fun every single day!  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I LOVE having a girl, the clothes, the bows, the pink, love it!!  Watching sweet Parker interact more and more with her just warms my heart.  He loves playing in the floor with her and is such a good little entertainer!

At 8 months Sydney...
* is still a champ at eating sold foods.  She will eat ANYTHING I give her...so different from Parker!
* still nurses about every 4 hours
* takes a short morning nap and a long afternoon nap
* still wakes up crying at night, we are sleep training, again.
* rolls all over creation and can push up on her arms when on her tummy
* worked hard this month on two bottom teeth and they finally came through!!
* loves watching Parker and is starting to reach for his toys
* lights up when James walks through the door in the evenings
* "talks" to us by making a grunting sound with your mouth wide open

Sydney Kate, you are a doll!  We love watching you grow up and learn new things so quickly.  You were prayed for for so long...you were most definitely worth the wait.  What joy you bring us sweet girl!
