Wiggle Worm

We've had a good week, and Sydney is doing great. She's sleeping about 6 hours through the night pretty consistently (I probably just jinxed myself by writing that) and that makes everything easier! We're really starting to see her little personality coming out- she's such a happy girl! Even though being a mom is definitely hard, it is SO much fun and I'm having a blast with her.
She has started holding her head up on her own for short lengths of time. You can tell her whole body is getting stronger as she grows... ahh- love those growth spurts! She loves to lay on her back and kick her feet. She's a pretty active little girl, even in her sleep. The past two nights, every time I've gone to get her out of her crib she has turned 90-degrees and is laying sideways in the bed. It's funny to me- she ends up in the craziest positions during her sleep (even when she's swaddled!).
Here are a few pics of her playing, and her weekly portrait with the lamb. Can you believe she's already 8 weeks old?!
