Syd

I have come to the conclusion some children are just born with happy spirits. Syd is one of them. Miles was too. Not much seems to bother them. They are both just easy come easy go. I guess since so many people think they look alike it is only fitting that they would also have similar spirits. 

Syd has been a pleasure from the VERY beginning. How many Moms can say they were they awoke at 5am in labor and by 7:02am was holding their precious baby in her arms? Seriously, Mom dropped me off at the hospital at 6:10am to check-in. Goose got there at 6:43am(he was working nights at the time). By 7:02am they were telling us we had a new baby girl. Now, I want to know where I need to sign up to have the next 7 the same way.

She loves to give smiles. I think her smile is what makes her such a cute baby...she has a beautiful smile.

She is such a big girl! She is 8 months old. She is still crawling all over the place. Pulls up on everything in sight(even things that aren't quite sturdy enough for her). She has 8 sparkling white teeth. She says Mama(which she said first), Dada, Baba, and Bye(at least that's what I think she is saying). She waves bye and hi. She is also filling out quite a bit, now she's no chunky monkey, but compared to Miles and Tenley she has really full cheeks and chunky little(if that's possible) thighs.

Syd also LOVES her sister and brother. She just lights up from ear to ear when the stop their playing to give her their attention. She just laughs and laughs at them. Tenley picks her up(even though she's not supposed to) and swings/slings her around like a little rag doll. Syd doesn't seem to mind, cause she never really complains. Miles is very attentive to her. He loves to sing to her. He also loves to pretend like he is going to "get" her...she in turn shrills with delight. Tenley and Miles are SO protective of her and each other. It is precious to watch them with each other.

Believe me, I am enjoying every minute of this stage...I know too well that it will not last forever...but my prayer is for it to last as LONG AS POSSIBLE!
