6 months and 2 weeks=Stinkin'cute

I know the blog is pretty Sydney-centered at the moment, but she is growing and changing so fast, I can't even stand it. She is six months and 2 weeks old. She sits, she crawls, she STANDS UP in her crib (okay, so this only happened once, last week, and I promptly lowered the crib, so it doesn't happen again for a loooong time. Her dearest joy in this life is to rip and eat paper. Her greatest wish is that mom would stop taking away the paper she wants to eat. She is not so big into real food, but is happy to put anything she finds anywhere in the house into her mouth. She usually takes great naps and I would really appreciate it if she wanted to sleep through the night. Even a good 4 hour stretch would be nice. She loves her brothers, except when they try to hold her, and then, not so much. She loves mom and dad, but mostly mom, because, as dad says, "There's the milk lady!" We love her so much and she has brought a nice balance to the force, er, I mean house.
