6 teeth!!

I finally got a picture today of all 6 teeth. I think they are just precious and make her look like a little girl now and not a baby anymore. Kind of sad but also exciting!

2 cute things

Sydney did 2 cute things today!! Not that she doesn't always do cute things but today was extra adorable.
First, when I went to pick her up from daycare today, she was playing on the floor with one of her teachers and another baby in the class. When she turned around and saw me, she crawled to me as fast as she could with the biggest smile on her face. Melt her mommy's heart!!
Second, while we were driving home, she would pull her blanket up over her face and I would say "where's Sydney?" Then she would pull the blanket down and I'd say "there she is!" She thought this was so funny! We've played peek-a-boo before, but this is the first time she did it on her own. It was so cute!

So I had to call Poison Control today!!

Before you freak out (like I did), everything is just fine!! Sydney has been on this antibiotic called Omnicef for her most recent ear infections for the past week. Well this morning while Craig was taking a shower, I fed Sydney her breakfast and gave her the medicine. Then, as he always does, Craig called me after he dropped her off at daycare. He said everything went well with the drop off, and oh, he also gave her her medicine. Of course I said I had already given it to her as well. Yikes! I called the pediatrician and talked to the receptionist...I asked if the nurse could give me a call back. She asked what it was in regards to and I told her we had given her a double dose of her antibiotic. So she put me on hold. This never happens!! I'm already worried at this point. She gets back on the phone and tells me I need to call poison control instead. WHAT??!! If you want to send a mom into a panic attack, tell her she has to call poison control. So I did. Thankfully the lady at poison control said she wasn't worried about the double dose and to just keep an eye on her for anything out of the oridinary. I, of course, called daycare and told them what had happened and to call me if anything about her changed. All is well and Sydney is her normal and happy self today! I can guarantee we will never make that mistake again!!

We RAN a 5K today!!!

That's right...we totally ran the whole 5K! And we pushed Sydney in the stroller with us. We couldn't have asked for better weather and of course the scenery was fabulous at White Rock Lake. Now that we've completed our first ever 5K we're going to train for the half marathon. We're really motivated now!!

10 Months Old

So once again, I'm a little late posting this. Miss Sydney had a double ear infection (again) and a stomach virus at the same time! Poor thing! She is feeling better now though and is back to her happy self. Sydney turned 10 months on February 2nd. For some reason, 10 months old makes me kind of sad. I don't know if it's the double digits or the fact that I'm planning her FIRST birthday, but it finally hit me how fast she is growing up! She is on ALL table foods now and absolutely loving it! And I am too because it's just so much easier than feeding her baby food all the time. Oh, and she got 4 more teeth this month, so she is up to 6 teeth now! We are still working on trying to get her to take a sippy cup--we've gone through 3 different kinds now and she's just not catching on yet. I know it will happen soon though. She is officially pulling up on EVERYTHING and is cruising along the furniture too. She can stand on her own for about 30 seconds before she either sits down or leans far enough forward for you to catch her. I think she might be walking by her birthday! She still says Mama, Dada and bye bye and has officially gotten the wave down as well. We think we've heard Dog and Bath too but maybe only a parent's ears can hear those words! She chases Jackson (our dog) around the house and he has been so great with her. He just lays there and lets her pull his ears (though we of course tell her no). That's another thing...we've definitely had to introduce "no" lately. She is into anything and everything. We are constantly keeping her away from dog bowls and wires! She is so much fun though and giggles all the time. We are loving every minute!

Ok...so I gave Sydney a Ritz cracker (she loves them) but they make such a mess so I took her shirt off and put a bib on. These pictures make me laugh!!

Mason's Birthday Party

Sydney had such a great time at Mason's 3rd birthday. It was at this place called Pump It Up which is basically a giant indoor jump house. All the kiddos had so much fun!

The birthday boy--we couldn't get him to stay still to get his picture taken...he was too excited!

Fun in Austin!

Two weekends ago, we went to Austin to visit with some college friends and my brother. We had such a great time and of course everyone loved seeing Sydney!

The boys: Daniel, Aaron, & Craig

I also got to meet up with some girls (and their babies) from my online moms group. We had such a good time hanging out at the Gristmill in Gruene and the babies had fun getting to know eachother too!

Then on Sunday we met Uncle Josh at the Oasis for a beautiful brunch on the patio. We couldn't have asked for better weather!

Would the cutest baby ever, please stand up?

Sydney is pulling up on everything now! I walked in to her room the other day and she was standing in her crib. Now she pulls up on the coffee table, couch, us, everything! She's getting so big and it's so much fun to watch!
