My Girl!

Thanks everyone for all of your support, comments, and prayers! I have honestly felt them ALL! The usual panic and anxiety that was threatening to overwhelm me has passed! I am not looking forward to going to Salt Lake for these tests but I feel that it is something that Sydney needs to get done, if only for my(and her cardiologists) peace of mind! I also talked to Sydney's pediatrician about her sedated echo and I mentioned that I had no clue how they were going to get an I.V. into this little girl, when it takes all of my strength to hold her down just long enough to get a routine evaluation for a well baby check up! Sydney was kicking and crying so much her whole body was covered in sweat by the time it was done. Also while the nurse gave Sydney her shots, Sydney fought her so hard that the nurse scratched her with the needle! Dr. Smith told me that most likely they would not need to sedate her by using an I.V., but instead by giving her a sedative to drink. I really hope that this is the case, because holding Sydney down for an I.V. when she has no idea why, is one of the hardest parts!
Check out the legs on this girl! She has the legs that I always dreamed of, long, and skinny! Sydney grew two inches in four months and is in the 84th percentile for height. She also gained 2 pounds and is now 22 pounds, this puts her in the 30th percentile for weight. I am most proud of the fact that her head finally grew! It took her about eight months for her head to grow a full inch, she was always in the 3rd or 4th percentile for her head circumference. Well Sydney's head grew a full inch in 4 months, this puts her in the 30 percentile! I can hardly believe that she is so big, time flies by to dang fast!

Her are a few cute videos of her playing! In the first video she is bouncing on a ball, Sydney loves balls! I am tying to get her to say "it's a ball" in the clip but didn't manage to get it on camera. She has started to say phrases, most of them involve balls! She will say, "Get a ball", "Want a ball", "It's a ball", and "more ball". The only none ball phrase is "Take a bath". Sometimes these phrases are very clear, but most of the time she sounds like she is saying "yaba daba daba yaba daba a ball!" she will repeat this over and over and it is so dang cute! I will keep trying to get this on video because it makes me laugh so hard! Sydney has also started to ask for "more Whee!" meaning she wants to be tossed around and played with! She will come up to me grab my hand or my face if I am not paying attention, smile and say "More Whee!" with that cute little voice of hers and I have no choice but to go along with what ever she is asking me to do. Oh boy am I in trouble, she has me wrapped completely around her pinky finger!
