6 Weeks Old

We can't believe Sydney is already 6 weeks old.  It doesn't seem like it's already been that long ago that we were at the hospital.  Everyone says time flies when you have kids.  Now I believe it.

This week has been harder than usual.  We think Sydney has hit her 6 week growth spurt.  She's been extremely fussy throughout the entire day and night.  She will finally wear herself out and sleep, but it's really hard for her to finally fall asleep.  We've driven around the neighborhood numerous times.  Today has been a little better, so we'll see if she's finally made it through.  She has grown some more for sure.  I put a 0-3 month onesie on today and it was definitely tight.  Yikes!  I think it's just the brand that runs a little small. 

She's definitely becoming more alert and playful (when she wants to be).  She likes her activity mat.  She does really good reaching up and hitting the rattles.  She's also doing a little better raising her head off of it.  We're still working on that push up.

Tonight my mom and dad are coming to babysit Sydney while we have date night.  We definitely need an evening to just unwind and relax, especially after this week.  We love Sydney to death, but sometimes having a baby can be a little overwhelming. 

Here's some pictures from the week.  Hope you enjoy!
