Grandmothers Rock!!

We have moved and we are fine! Sydney did so well during the 12.5 hour car ride considering that she was just becoming accustomed to her car seat. This move would have been so much more difficult without Sydney's Grandy. Miss Thang slept with her the night before we left so that Daddy and I could sleep since we both were driving. Grandy took care of her while we were working with the movers to get everything loaded in the truck and she entertained her whenever she would wake up during the trip. I didn't even mind her singing so much this time. :wink:

Things Sydney does not like:
Anything cold - hands, food, her bath. She would rather starve than take a lukewarm bottle. She definitely gets that from me. B will eat cold leftovers straight from the fridge but I need my food to be piping hot. :laugh:

Her reflux wedge that she occasionally sleeps in - she's not a fan of the restraints at all.

Her eye patch - she's crankiest whenever we make her wear it.

Things Sydney LOVES!:
Bath time! - She's getting to the stage where she actually fusses when we're taking her out. She looks like she could sit in the tub forever

Walks outside in her stroller - She's fascinated by everything there is to see.

Her swing - Since her reflux is so much less severe, she's tolerating many more things and becoming very independent. She has taken quite a few naps in her swing this week

Sleeping on any of the three of us - we all love it too. It's good snuggle time. Thankfully she will now sleep in her own bed because she had gotten to stage where she wouldn't sleep comfortably at all unless she was ON somebody. We gradually broke that habit.

Kisses - She smiles the biggest smiles whenever you kiss and play with her. We love to see her personality emerging.

Today Grandy and I are going out to get some necessities for the house and Sydney and Daddy are spending the day together - alone - for the first time. I'm not even slightly concerned because she has a fantastic father who knows her so well. They're both sleeping and snuggling in the recliner as we speak. :love:

Oh! She weighs just over 11 lbs now and her 0-3 month clothes are all tight even though she's just 6 weeks adjusted. She's really tall too and totally fills out her all in one/sleeper outfits.

Regular updates will resume next week!
