Changing

Oh man the last couple of days have been tough. Sydney is growing and it just feels like Ty and I have been missign the boat in adapting. It's like we finally get something down and then Sydney outgrows it or just needs a little different style. I'm still so use to the little newborn that was sooo hard to take out and would sleep so much during the day.
Sydney is almost 7 months and she is finally able to stay awake 2.5 - 3 hours between naps. We are in the process of dropping a nap and going from 3 - 2. Poor Sydney has been mad about going to bed so early because she is just not that tired and it took three rough days for us to figure it out. So this morning she was up from 630-830, napped for two hours, then will go down from 130 - 330. We will skip her third nap and probably just put her down at 7 instead of 730 since she will be tired. I've been reading that the reason she is getting up so early (615 this morning) is that she is getting too much sleep during the day. So long gone are the days of 5 hours of sleeping. Now we are down to 3.5 - 4. It's a good change but I just need to stay alert and not miss the boat.
I kept telling Tyson " I just feel like we are doing it wrong" and it really did feel that way. All of the sudden it felt like we had no idea how to help her. It sucked.
Sydney is growing and is more aware of what is going on. Shes' so funny! She can tell when Ty and I leave the room for her to nap and sometimes she cries in protest because she wants to keep playing. Sad :(
She's also sooo much funner. She laughes at everything. she loves to give really wet big kisses which is so sweet it melts my heart. She loves to look at herself in the mirror.








She. Is. Awesome.
