9 Month Check-up

So, there's a game we play with Sydney where we say "How big is Sydney?" and she puts her hands over her head. Then we say, "SO BIG!" Well,....the truth of the matter is that Sydney is SO BIG. We had her 9-month check-up yesterday and Sydney is a big baby. She is 31 inches long (above the 95th percentile) and 20 lbs 14.5 oz. At this rate, I think we're going to have a girl that towers over all the boys..... which is fine by me. Maybe that'll be enough to scare them all off until her 30th birthday.

Anyways, with Sydney growing so fast we only have one more inch until she outgrows her car seat. Yippee!!! That means I get to install a different car seat into the minivan. -- There goes another hour or two of my life. I swear... car seat manufacturers deliberately design their products to be as difficult as possible to install. We even bought a larger baby seat so we wouldn't have to worry about her outgrowing it too quickly. So much for that idea.

On a slightly different note, we have never had a problem trying to feed Sydney baby food. Even when she'd make sour faces at the food we were feeding her, you could count on her having her mouth open right away for the next bite where she'd make the same face all over again. Not anymore! We just switched to 3rd foods that have chunks. She is not a big fan. Sydney actually turns her head and pushes the food away. I'm not too concerned.... I will prevail! Keep trying and trying and trying until success!

Well, I should get going. I hope you enjoyed the latest update on Sydney!
