Sydney is 9 months!

So here are her statistics from the Dr.  You won't believe how fast she is growing.

Height     28 3/4 inches - 90th Percentile
Weight    22 lbs. 2 oz. - 95th Percentile

She is still taking her bottle and likes it best but she is eating table food now too.  She now has 8 teeth and still gags when you try to give her baby food.  And HOLY HAIR!  It just keeps growing.  She hasn't lost a single bit of hair since she was born and it just keeps growing.  It is halfway down her back when we give her a bath, but it is so curly, it makes it look short.

                I couldn't resist the picture below, it looks staged, but she just did that all by herself.

Sydney's hair!

So one night Whitley and I got this idea that we were going to straighten Sydney's hair so that we could see how far it would go down her back and how long it really was when it was straight.  So we bathed her and then took a brush and a blowdryer and proceeded to try to straighten her hair.  She loved the blowdryer, but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get her hair to go straight.  I couldn't believe it.  So instead of straight hair she looks more like she has an old lady poofy hair do.  It was so funny!
