Her big sisters can't keep their hands off and are constantly stealing kisses and hugs. I don't blame them really and think they are probably just imitating me mostly. Even HB is sweet with her and brings her toys or rubs her head. It's interesting to start seeing what each of their roles are in our little family. I would say Sidney is going to be the baby, the princess and be doted on always. Hayes and Georgia will have a love/hate relationship and be very competitive. Emmaline is the 'mommy' and dotes on each of them. Georgia is the 'boss' and tries to run the show. And I think Hayes will be protective over Sidney. We shall see as time passes, I suppose.
So Sidney at 9 months: This has been a big month of change for her!
*She just started pulling up on things/furniture/toys/chairs. She is busy practicing all the time now, up..down..up..down and she will let go and stand for a few seconds too! She is so proud of herself and just smiles or waves her arms!
*Sidney finally is cutting her first 2 teeth..the bottom middles ones and they are barely poking through but there!. She doesn't seem to be as uncomfortable as she was so that is good.
*She is crawling from room to room and is getting more sure of herself each day.
*She wears 9-2T clothes, size 3 shoes, and size 3 diapers. She will wear bows or headbands but is starting to yank them off if she pays attention to me putting them on her.
*Sidney is eating a lot more this month too. She has tried small bites of chicken, turkey, celery, grapes, oranges, noodles, bread, potatoes (French fries too), beans, etc...we are slowly moving away from baby food and she is self feeding mostly.
*Sidney is so easy to nurse...4 times a day and less than 10 minutes each time. She is so squirmy and busy so isn't too interested unless it's in the morning. It really helps to nurse her without anyone else around which is almost never..we hope to make it til she is on whole milk, but will just see how it goes in the coming months.
*She sleeps wonderfully...with the time change she is usually sleepy by 7:30 and wakes up around 7am...but is fine until I go in and get her. She usually goes to sleep without any crying..as long as she has her Taggie blanket and her Wubanub paci (ones with the small animal on the end). She will nap 2 times if we are home which is rare..so she will catnap in the car when she can and will take a great nap whenever she can. It will last 2-4 hours.
*Sidney is babbling a lot and will say Dada, Mama, baba, wawa...She doesn't necessarily say them to us, but is talking and squealing a lot.
*She is very happy and really adorable. She has started scrunching her nose up when she smiles and it looks like she smells something funny. I hope it's just a phase. Her hair is growing really nicely and is very blonde and her eyes are so blue and almost lighter near the center.
Sidney,
You are cuddly, soft and sweet and really do complete this family. Your happy personality along with your giggles and laughter are the best. You are ticklish and starting to clap and wave at us! We love the new games we can play with you! I'm so thankful for you and love your dimpled elbows, knuckles and thighs. You light up our lives and we love singing sweet songs to you! Your voice is so sweet and we can't wait to hear you sing along with us! We love you!
