There's nothing this kid can't do

OK. I know every parent says that about their kid, but Sidney continues to amaze me on a daily basis. She started eating peas and green beans this week and we never had one moment of trouble. If anything, Mom and Dad had more difficulty than she did. She's just practicing right now. She still gets a bottle for most of her nourishment, but she's seems to be ready for real food. She watches people eat and makes chewing motions as if she really wants that hamburger or taco. I can't wait until I can share my love of food with her. I hope she's not too picky, but isn't every kid picky at some point?

Mom goes back to work on March 1. Next week will be a transition week for day care. We'll spend some time there together with her teacher and then I'll leave her for an hour a couple times. What will I do with my free hour? Perhaps a nice, relaxing hour in a cafe. I am ready to go back to work and start making a living again, but I will miss spending my days with Sid. She's becoming a real person with an actual individual personality, so she's fun to hang out with.

We're still waiting on teeth, rolling over and sitting up. Wait until she meets the other kids in her day care room. She'll be running around with them in no time.

2010 will bring many changes in Sidney's life, but I'm sure she'll handle all of them like a pro. She's got this.

Hi, I'm five months old!

Hard to believe she's five months old already. She's begun solid foods and is quickly outgrowing her 6 month clothes. Two more weeks home with Mom and then it's off to day care. Mom is looking forward to going back to work, but it will be a tough transition. She's such a happy kid and adjusts well to every situation, so we think she'll love hanging out with other kids during the day.

Hooray! Sidney is ready for cereal!!
