Watch Me Grow!

Sydnee is two months old already! Where did the time go? We went for her checkup yesterday and here's the results: she is 20 1/2 inches long, and weighs only 9 lbs. 8 oz. She is only in the third percentile for her height and weight (Hallie was always in the 80th and above percentile for her height and weight), so she is quite the petite baby.

Here are some of her accomplishments this month: In the last week, Sydnee has started trying to smile. She opens her mouth really big and smiles for a second, but it doesn’t happen all the time yet although she’s getting there! She also follows the sound of our voices, and is very alert and LOVES to be outside. She loves to watch the leaves on the trees and when she cries, sitting outside is the only thing that calms her down. Sydnee has also started to “coo” once in a while and she bats at toys too. Sydnee cooed for the first time while Hallie was playing with her and she screamed, “Mommy, Sydnee’s talking to me!” Sydnee is progressively becoming a better sleeper. She sleeps for about 6-7 hours the first stretch of sleep, then she’s up every two hours. We’ve learned though, after having Hallie, that being a “good” sleeper can change rather quickly, so we’ll keep our fingers crossed that it continues. Oh and just for the record... Sydnee is a mommy's girl.

Sydnee loves: getting her diaper changed
Sydnee hates: Being left alone
