7 Months and Moving

January has been a busy month for our little family.  All three of us flew to Edmonton for a visit with family, Adam finally got to meet Alice.  We had lots of fun.  About two days after getting back home to Manitoba, we found out that we are moving to Edmonton!  We are so excited that Sydney will get to grow up near family and friends.  Now we just need to find a house to buy.

Sydney is rolling around like crazy and likes to get in to whatever is within her reach, no major accidents yet.  She is still such a happy little baby and likes to say "ma ma ma ma" and "du du du du" and a few other sounds, it's pretty cute.  I think she will be crawling soon as she can get up on her knees, but ends up pushing backwards instead of forwards.  I know she will get it, and I can wait!

Love to everyone!

Half-Way to Number One

I can't believe that Sydney is already 6 months old (7 months in a few days!).  It really has flown by and I have been enjoying every day with her.  She is getting such a personality and is so happy and friendly.  We were able to spend Christmas with both sides of the family this year which was great.  Unfortunately, she got her first cold while we were in Spruce Grove, poor girl was so stuffed up.  At least she had Nana there to give her extra cuddles.  She is feeling much better now and is back to her normal self.  She now has two teeth on the bottom, and is eating solid foods.  I've given her sweet potato, butternut squash, peas, banana, pear, apple, rice cereal and oat cereal.  She tried spinach, but wasn't the biggest fan, I will have to sneak some more in with something else that she likes. Sleeping is getting better and better, 10-12 hours each night now.  Though I must say, she has always been a pretty awesome sleeper.  She can sit up really well now and can get herself on to her tummy on her own when she sees something that she wants.  Crawling is in the near future as she tries to get up on her knees each day.  She is getting really good at pushing herself backwards.

Just waking up from her nap with her lamb on her head, naturally.

Mmmm...spinach.

Do you think she knows she's cute? I think so.
