Yesterday was two months that we have been blessed to have Sydney in our lives-I do not know when the feeling of "new" wears off when you have a newborn in the house, but we still feel very new to this parenting stuff! We are beginning to see that Sydney is no longer a newborn, but a baby!
Seeing this growth in not only her appearance, but mostly in her personality and her spirit has given us the chance to get to know her. She is definitely going to be strong willed and a determined human being-determined to do what, I don't necessarily think about yet . At this time in her life she is determined to sit up all by herself, stand up and roll over!
She is blowing bubbles ridiculously, and is self soothing by chewing on her hands. She is also keeping her hands open more throughout the day and scrunching her toes more often. Grabbing has begun a bit, mostly by accident right now, but you can see she will soon pick this up too! Oh, and she is still jabbing those jaws!
Everyone that has ever had a child has said that time goes by so fast, and until you experience this for yourself it's hard to understand-yes, time does go by fast when you are raising a child, but if you pay close attention you won't miss a thing!
We are in love with Sydney and are falling in love with being her parents! Most people said we would be great parents, but honestly it is a conscious effort that must be put forth every single day if you truly want to be a great parent! Being a parent is easy, but being a present parent is challenging, exhausting, and so very humbling.
God Speed, Sarah
I forgot the camera at the in-laws, so when I get it back i'll post pictures of Sydney to show how much she has grown over the past couple months-stay tuned!
