The natives are getting restless…

Hey everyone! I’ve got to fill you in Sydney last night, you know it’s never good when your spouse refers to the child as “YOUR CHILD” haha I called Jeremy on my way home last night and I heard it in his voice from the moment he said hello. Sydney fought with him all night, he said no matter what I did she screamed and even when I held her she was rough. She kept grabbing and hitting at me. Not sure what is up with that. So once I got home, she was happy for about an hour and then started with me. So we moved bath time up and she was happy with that. I just made the comment this weekend I think it’s time to move Sydney to the tub. After Saturday night’s bath, we all got at bath from her splashing, my kitchen was flooded. She literally splashed a couple of inches out of the sink. I gave the sink one last try. So last night, we had the same, splashing, splashing and then she stopped dead in her tracks…the cat walked in to the kitchen. I haven’t mentioned this yet but about two or three weeks ago Sydney discovered that Simon is this amazing phenomenon. She is fascinated with the cat, doesn’t matter what she in the middle of, if he walks into the room, she stares and then screams to the top of her lungs to get his attention. It’s the funniest thing! Now back to last night, Syd’s in the sink, Simon walks in, she stops, stares, then screams and then tries to climb out of the sink to get him! She actually got herself to her knees and then was leaning over the side of the sink! Perfect example of why you should never leave the room! We would have had a fish out of water!

Our other newest conquest is fighting with her for diaper changes and getting her dressed after her bath. I think because she getsall wound up in the bath she can’t calm down to let me dress her. I usually have Jeremy help with this part because she’s getting to be too quick for me. What am I ever going to do when this child starts crawling! It’s gonna be a nightmare! It’s funny, we do all this encouraging to get out child to reach these important milestones, for what? More work? I decided I rather have Sydney be an under achiever for right now. Haha I know I mentioned this earlier in her blog and even got a picture of her in her towel in crawling position. I have now mastered a diaper change while she’s up on all fours. Not sure how I’m going to do with a moving target! We’ll know soon enough!

That's too funny! Sydney graduates to the big tub so she can flood your whole bathroom with the splashing. We're going to need pictures of this, you know.

Believe it or not, you get used to wrestling with them to get diapers on and get them dressed. Every single diaper change and bathtime is a struggle like that for us, so I sympathize! Love the updates!!
