9 Months Old!

So this update is a bit late - but, wow we are just so busy! Sydney too, has been a little busy bee and is ALL over the place these days! She is still doing her combat crawl but can get from the living room to the slider to the kitchen in no time flat. Every now and again, she gets up onto all fours and rocks a bit but hasn't moved forward in this position just yet. If she could have it her way (and she usually does!) she would prefer that we sit on the floor with her and hold her - or be her spotters - while in a standing position. By grabbing onto our hands, she can get upright quite easily.

I'm everywhere these days!

Her awareness of her surroundings now includes some TV shows. Her favorite?? BARNEY! If she is fussy, I can easily get her attenetion and calm her down by singing the theme song. "Barney is a dino-sauuur, from our imagin-aaaations, when he's tall, he's what you call. . . ."  And thank goodness for Youtube on the iPhone - had to use that a couple times in the car already!

 Had a quick 9-month check-up on the 10th of February and got to leave with only one shot this time! Doctor was very pleased with her progress and at how smiley she is. Yes - she is ALWAYS smiling! She's now in the 75th percentile for weight, 70th for head size and 90th for length! She has long little legs and is wearing 12 and 18 mo pants these days, and 12 month sleepers.

The biggest challenges lately are keeping Sydney 1) on her changing table, 2) in the bathtub. and 3) in the stroller. She is just so curious about everything around  her that she wants to get up and explore.

I don't like being still for one second.
