Sidney Rose is 5 months old!!


Sidney celebrated her 5 superb months here on this earth in what my dad calls, 'God's country' or Mississippi. We were on our long summer vacation to the south and Louin was our 1st stop.

*Sidney loves her Taggie blanket now and still likes/needs her paci.
*She has rolled over both ways and likes some tummy time now.
*Sidney is not sleeping through the night, starts out in her pack n play, but wakes up crying at some random point and ends up in our bed usually. Being out of town and her sleeping with me each night has not helped! Going to try CIO method soon.
*Sidney is smiling, laughing and very chatty. I love when we can get her to do her deep, guttural laugh. It's so sweet!
*She nurses every 3-4 hours during the day and rarely at night. She is quick, efficient but getting more easily distracted these days.
*Sidney also started using her sippy cup. She can actually grasp it and make it to her mouth. She has a hard time getting suction on it but when she does she gets excited and a little surprised. She gets frustrated easily though.
*She wears size 3 diapers, and is growing out of 3-6 months clothes. 6-9 fit her best.
*Sidney loves her jumperoo, her snugli, sitting up in her stroller and the high chair. She has balanced herself for a few seconds at a time while sitting up but isn't very good yet.
*We now have Sidney's crib set up in Georgia's bedroom. She hasn't used it yet, but one day, when she is sleeping more soundly we will move her over. Now if I could just find a place for all her clothes.

Sidney, you traveled all over 4 states and were such a sweet angel. You smiled, slept, and kept everyone in happy spirits..just being you. I think that's your place in our little family. The great equalizer. Your whole body lights up when you smile! And that is contagious!!
