#1: No matter how tired I get somehow I manage to get up in the middle of the night and feed her when/if she wakes up. I think the reason is because she is just so happy to see me when I get her out of her crib. If you have not seen her little gummy grin you are missing out.
#2: I have never felt so helpless as I did when I had to take Sydney to the hospital in the middle of the night. Nurses are amazing! They make a mom so mad for making the baby cry, but then make you feel like a hero because you get to snuggle your baby and make them feel better.
#3: I was once told that I could do anything, hard things included. Being a parent proves that to me. I have to work, so I rush to get Sydney everyday just so I can see what she is doing that day. When she rolled over fro the first time, I was cheering from the sidelines. Now that she is sitting up on her own for the most part I continue to cheer her on. What will she do today? Who knows! What I do know is I can't wait to see it.
#4: I have a feeling that Sydney will be a sports fan. She loves to watch football and baseball. I am sure that Daddy will teach her all about Soccer, Grandpa Tom will educate her on the ways and rules of Hockey, Aunt Cristi will have her a basketball fan in no time and Uncle Schuyler will teach her the ways of Nascar. Then there is softball and Aunt Lindsey, oh wait we have volleyball too..Aunt Saundra is all over that one!
Nick and I have started feeding her baby food over the last few weeks. So far she has been ok. Sometimes the tastes surprise her. In the baby food picture she is eating bananas. Not sure how she felt about them.
I don't think it is possible to love this baby more than we do. But each day we find that we do.
