Always all smiles in the bath!
Check out my dimples
First time with rice cereal- not quite sure what to think about the spoon
She was so excited to sit in her highchair like a big girl! She knew something was going on and laughed when I put a bib on her. Lord knows she must get her excitement about food from her Mommy!
Already very into books. We'll start reading Harry Potter in the morning :).
We have had the best week! I really committed to have a week devoted to being "homebodies" and really working on a nap and sleep schedule. If you know me at all, you know that I can't sit still long. But I have really enjoyed just hanging out with Sydney this week and trying to not be revolving around a "to do" list. We have played, walked, and swam at my Mom's, but also focused on napping during the day (in her bed and not riding around Target in her carrier:) )and really sticking to our bedtime rituals (playtime, bath, bottle, book, and bed by 7:30). And it is working! Sydney has slept through the night the past 3 nights, and I am banking on Ashley's advice that 3 nights makes a habit. We tried a little rice cereal tonight. She probably ate 3 or 4 bites of it, but wasn't too crazy about the spoon. I am sure that part of my optimism is having 3 nights of sleep, but we really had a great week!
