6 Week Updates

It's so hard to find time to keep up on my blog now. Sydney is going through this phase where I cannot put her down and she isn't happy in her swing or her papasan chair...this makes it very difficult to get ANYTHING done! I have a carrier that I use but I have to keep moving when she is in it or she cries! I started this post on Monday and it is now Friday!!!

Sydney has discovered all of the fun and exciting things she can do with her tongue! We went on a walk and the whole time she kept playing around with her tongue, it was very cute! She has also discovered her fist and fingers and will often suck on them.

She has now developed a scream...not just a cry, but a scream... that she uses to let me know when I am not meeting her need to be fed fast enough. In her mind it's, "Baby gets what baby wants, NOW!" She screamed so loud at me the other night at 2 am. Greg came flying into the baby room to see what was wrong. He thought there was some emergency. Well, there was in Sydney's eyes, she needed food!

She smiles now when we play with her. She likes Peek-a-boo and she LOVES to dance to 80's music!! We have the station on all of the time now and we hold her and dance. She doesn't like to be held in just any old way either. Sydney is also finding her voice with lots of coos and cute noises. And she has also discovered her arms. She is constantly bonking herself in the face with them.

Daddy has named Sydney as the World's Loudest Sleeper!! Oh my gosh, she is so noisy when she sleeps that we hardly get any sleep!! I am constantly looking in at her bassinet to make sure she is still sleeping, which means I am NOT sleeping!! She gets up only 2 times throughout the night now, not bad!

Mommy and Sydney dancing to 80's music. Notice how she just has to have her head tilted back!! This is her favorite way to be held!
