On the 11th Syd turned 9-months. :) Sydney has become the expert crawler now and loves to crawl to something that she can pull her self up on. She then enjoys cruising around while holding onto something. She can also stand for short periods without holding onto something. So walking is probably going to come at any time. She has officially started to sleep all night!!!! This also includes no rocking just a blanket and pacifier and she soothes herself to sleep. She does a great job during nap time too and sleeps for longer chunks of time. This makes for one happy mama. :) Syd has started to eat some very soft finger foods.  She hasn’t figured out that your suppose to chew them and swallow, as every chunk that goes in likes to come right back out.   She loves to follow Colin around and play with whatever he is playing with. Also if Colin lets out a holler of excitement Sydney will join right in. It is so fun to watch them interact with each other. If they haven’t been around each other in a while Sydney always finds her way to Colin to climb up him and kiss his chest. She never seems to make it all the way to his face.
