Baby Milestones

Baby Heather has blessed us this year with her little smile in January and since then she has grown and grown and has achieved so many baby milestones that I can hardly keep up. She seems to be growing faster then Sydney did. She has said dadda and bye bye and I am still waiting on momma. She has already rolled over from stomach to back and back to stomach. She started commando crawling a few weeks ago, a few days shy of 8 months old. I am still blessed with being able to breastfeed and she has started baby food, while time seems to be flying bye. She loves her new walker and keeping up with her getting into stuff under the coffee table seems to be a daily adventure now. We added a high chair and we are about to lower the bed soon since we think she might be ready to stand on her own. She pulled to stand up at Sydney's school all on her own. I had showed her some toys in a box and I guess she really wanted the train set that she pulled to stand up beside the box. I am not ready for her to walk yet. I believe Sydney didn't walk until she was over 1 and now I think Heather might walk before 1. I believe having a bigger sister has made her grow faster, which I have to say I wish she would slow down. Sydney is a big help and is really good with her. Heather is truly a wonderful baby and has blessed our little family to make us a family of four.

Back to School

School is in full swing for Sydney. We had a drop in day at school on September 5 to meet the teacher and classroom. Her teacher seems really nice and most of the kids returned which is really something when we live in a country that people come and go. Ms. Hankinson, Pumpkin class. Can't wait to see how the little pumpkins grow this year. First day of school was September 6 and this week started with less hours to get the kids used to going to school again. I think the class has already adjusted to there new room and teacher. They have already sent a book home for homework, wow. A picture book, but homework just the same. So I guess we will have library books and books from the classroom, looks like a lot of reading for Mommy. :) Here's to another great year at BISAD.
