As much as I want her to stay small forever, I have to say the older she gets the more fun she has become! She is 5 1/2 months and will be 6 months on 9/28 - I can't believe how fast the time has gone! She's been sitting up on her own for a little over a week, riding in the big girl part of her strollers and getting cuter by the minute. She is a very happy baby that smiles and laughs a lot and she is also a great sleeper. It is such a great feeling to put her to bed at night knowing she won't get up until 6:30 - 7am. She still loves her baths and the water in general. We went to the river over the Labor Day holiday, which was her 3rd trip to the river and she did great. So far she isn't showing any signs of wanting to crawl, which I am happy about, but she does seem to be teething. She loves to hang out with her cousins and her cousins LOVE her too! All three of them swarm her and usually Avery and Brady are fighting over who gets to hold her first. She also loves her grammie, poppie and grandma's and grandpa. We are so lucky that they seem happy to babysit her, giving us time to have date nights or couples nights out.
Some days I do miss work, and especially my paychecks....but it's such a blessing to be able to stay home with Sydney and watch her grow. I go to my first MOPS meeting next week so I am looking forward to some time with friends and it'll be good for Sydney to hang out with some other babies. Hope everyone is doing well!
