Sydney has been home for a little over a month now. She continues to grow and put on weight. She now weighs over 10lbs. She has a good appetite and has gotten better at eating. She will still make a mess, but she is much more coordinated when she eats.
Sydney has been busy since getting home. She has lots of appointments with Dr's. They like to keep track of her progress as she grows and develops. Syd is very aware and observant now, listening, and smiling when you talk to her.
Syd sleeps in her crib like a big girl. She usually only gets up once at night to eat. Its not so bad now that she eats a little better. After her late night snack Sydney likes to listen to lullaby songs that Aunt Heidi gave her on her ipod.
Now that the nice weather has arrived Sydney has been getting out much more. She likes to shop with mom, or go for walks on nice days. Getting around is a little difficult with an oxygen tank and monitor. Sydney is bigger and stronger, but still needs some help breathing. The Dr's will keep watching Syd until she is able to do it on her own.
It has been a big adjustment coming home with oxygen and adjusting to Sydney's ever changing schedule. Sydney is doing her job, eating, sleeping and growing. She is keeping us on our toes, and we are loving it.

Sydney looks so fantastically bright and alert.
As a NICU nurse it so wonderful to watch a baby grow and interact and this is a great way for those who looked after her to follow her progress.
Well done Sydney and of course Mum and Dad and everyone else who has been involved in this mometous journey.
Take Care
Love Carolynn :-)
We are soooo happy at your progress and love your happy face. Keep eating and growing and we'll come see you when you're ready to meet you little Cousin.
