Baby Mauldin's Showers and More

Sydney had a fun-filled day Saturday attending her Aunt Katie's baby showers.  We had one in Oxford with dad's side of the family and the Mauldins and then we had another with mom's side and our home church.  She got lots of cute clothes and many essential baby items.  Sydney can't wait to meet her baby girl cousin.  They are going to have so much fun together.

Sydney is doing great.  She had her 6 month appointment almost 2 weeks ago.  She's 26 3/4 inches (90%) and 16 lbs 14.9 ounces (75%).  She's enjoying her fruits and veggies, but still prefers her veggies.  She's tried everything except sweet potatoes.  That's next on the list.  She's also doing much better with her cereal.  She's up to 4 tablespoons which is what she's supposed to eat for a meal. 

She likes to roll around the room.  We usually put a big quilt down and let her take off.  She's so close to crawling.  I'd say she's creeping.  She's starting to reach for people to hold her.  Sometimes she can't make up her mind though...she'll reach for someone and then reach back for me.  We got her her first "laptop" the other day.  She can push the different buttons and numbers and images will appear on the screen.  It also has a Spanish mode for her to learn to count in Spanish, something her daddy likes. 

She had another photo shoot with our friend Ashby.  She did such a good job.  I can't wait to see them all.  I got to sneak a peak at a few while Ashby was shooting.  They looked really great!  We'll have those in about another month.  For now here's a few others that we've taken.
