"I'm so hungry, I could chew my arm off?" Well, our daughter takes it to another level! There's no in between for her - she's either not hungry or starving. She will be just fine, happy and smiling and playing and then out of nowhere she gets frantic and then she starts sucking on anything that crosses her path. Most times she sucks on her fists so hard you wonder if it doesn't hurt her. Tonight Daddy was holding her and she got a hold of his top lip and we were certain she was going to suck it right off. He had a hard time prying her away. :laugh: She will suck your face, your clothes, your fingers, your hair, her play mat, her bib...anything until she actually gets her food. There's also the bobbing of her head that she does and just how excited she gets when she knows that food is coming. I'm sure a stranger to our home would think we starve her by the way she carries on!
We are also happy to share that her reflux is so much less severe than it was even two weeks ago. Thank you for all your prayers! The first week she was home we were dealing with her spitting up after almost every meal and now I think we average once every 2-3 days and it's not usually much at all. God is good.
You have all been so patient so here are a few pictures! Sorry for the delay Mom! :)
There's no such thing as too many Daddy and baby pics.

She looks AMAZING! I am so happy and proud to be considered a friend. Kudo's to the daddy pics. We have a few of our own!! Love you all.
It's wonderful to know that Sydney is doing so amazingly well.
The pics are adorable, especially the one with daddy...too sweet!
Hi, I just found your blog through Gwenyth's(confessions of a CF husband) and I have twins that were born the day before Sydney. They were born at term, 37 weeks to be exact and had good weights, especially for twins. We are actually in the process of adopting them, and they do have a lot of issues because the birth mom did meth during the pregnancy. Your journey sounds so similar to ours, with the appointments and pt, ot, neurologists, GI doctors and more. We do all of that also. They think that our boy, Tyler, has Cerebral Palsy.
You have a very inspiring story, and I loved watching her grow through your blog. What an amazing blessing from God.
