Happy Baby

Sydney has got to be the happiest baby I know! She always gives the best smiles and she has the most contagious belly laugh! The daycare ladies are always telling us how happy she is.
Lately she's been sitting pretty. She's gotten really good at sitting up on her own.
She's still (and I'm sure always will be) such a joy! She's God's gift to us - what a blessing!

I can hold my bottle!

Sydney has been holding her own bottle for about 2 weeks now. She's growing up way too fast!

Laundry Day

It's laundry day at the Shannon's! Well, every weekend involves a laundry day, but this weekend we had a little someone extra in the laundry basket!

Rice Cereal

Today was Sydney's first time to eat rice cereal! It was a first time for everyone, including Mommy and Daddy. So, I may have made it too runny, but nevertheless, we'll still count today as the first day to eat rice cereal. Sydney is teething right now. Her second tooth is coming in! So, she's constantly putting everything possible in her mouth and biting down on it. She wanted to chomp down on the spoon, rather than eat the contents in it. She also thought her bib was rather tasty! Yes, the bib is the size of her and could definitely be an apron on her. Hey - you can never be too covered when you are a baby! :) We'll see if tomorrow is any better!

Johnny Jump

We tried out the Johnny Jump yesterday. Sydney basically looked like she was swimming in it because she's still so small, but I think she enjoyed it. She kind of swayed from side to side using her feet. She definitely wasn't jumping in it though!

Aggie Fever

Yesterday was the first A&M football game of the season. I dressed Sydney for the day, but then I looked up and Scotty had changed her into this. I wonder if this is going to be her normal Saturday outfit until the season is over. :)

Pictures

Here are a few pictures from my mom's birthday at the beginning of August.

First Day at Daycare

Sydney had her first day at daycare today! She did great! She took some good naps and drank all of her bottles! Her teacher told Scotty that she was advanced because she can 'hold her bottle!' Well, she can't technically hold her bottle, but she gets really excited when it's time to eat and she tends to shove the bottle in her mouth! It's pretty funny! Our little girl is growing up so fast! :)

First Tooth

Sydney is getting her first tooth!!! Her bottom, right tooth is poking out! It's sharp and we can definitely feel it. She's been teething for at least a month now. Her hands are constantly in her mouth. She's just starting to grab her teething ring and stick it in her mouth to chew on it.

She had her 4-month well visit on Friday. She weighs 14 pounds and 7 ounces! She's 80% in height and weight. Sydney had fever when we went in, so we weren't able to get her 4-month shots. She had fever throughout the weekend, but never had any other symptoms. She stayed home with daddy today. Tomorrow will be her first day of daycare! I hope it goes well and I hope she can get some good naps in that noisy room!

It's amazing how much Sydney changes! Her personality is really shining through and she really is such a happy baby! She's such a JOY!

Happy Birthday Mimi!

Today was my mother's birthday. Happy birthday, Mom! We love you!
