Hi, I'm seven months old!

Seriously, this kid never stops smiling.

What is Sidney up to these days?

I'm approaching seven months of sharing my life with little Sidney. She has quickly become the most important person in my life and, surprisingly, one of the most dependable. Her smile first thing in the morning is reason enough to drag myself out of bed at 5:15am to get us ready for work and school. She whines when she is tired. She cries when she is hungry. And when she's not sleeping, she's smiling and laughing at whatever you're doing in front of her. She is thriving in school and is even learning some pretty cool tricks. Yesterday, a little boy one month older who is much more mobile than Sidney took a toy away from her. She watched him with it for a few seconds, and when she saw her chance, simply snatched it back. She never cried. She never whined. This is my daughter. She is already learning not to take it lying down. And this is life.

She is rolling over onto her stomach, but can't get back. She's spending more and more time sitting up. She is still sleeping through the night despite a few recent middle-of-the-night whiny sessions. Usually, it's a lost pacifier or she rolled onto her tummy and is frustrated and uncomfortable. It doesn't take much to get her back to sleep.

The past few months have brought some changes to Sidney's young life, but you wouldn't know it to look at her. She is the happiest, brightest kid I know. Yeah, everyone says that about their little ones, but meet her and you'll see.
