5 month update

Sarah Margaret is already 5 months old and a very curious and active little girl. It is amazing in the past month how much she has developed and how interested she is in the world around her.

She is reaching and grabbing for toys, rolling over all the time, and loves to be on her tummy (both playing and sleeping). She is very smiley and enjoys putting everything in her mouth. Next month will mark starting solid foods--right now she is testing the water with rice cereal.

Her hair is starting to grow and it looks like she will be a blonde/strawberry blonde for the time being.

We had a wonderful visit to Gramma Sue's this weekend. She took lots of naps on Saturday since it was so rainy but Sunday she was very playful. I only wish I took more photos!

Our Chatty Cathy!

Over the past couple weeks, little Sarah has gotten very talkative. She loves to talk.

More Mackinac Photos

Aunt Anna and Uncle Cliff have a wonderful eye for capturing the most precious moments with the camera. They have such a talent for photography. The photos they took on Mackinac are amazing and it looks like we had a professional photographer with us on vacation.

Enjoy the photos!! Sarah Margaret had a great 4 month check up last week and weighs in at 13lbs. 7 oz. (50th percentile) and is 24.5 inches TALL (75th percentile). This round of shots went better than last but now she is chewing on everything because she is teething. She enjoys fabric the most but also favors her rattles.

Family Vacation in Mackinac

We had a wonderful time in Mackinac! This is a quick post since we are busy unpacking and getting ready for Sarah's dedication at church but wanted to post some photos from the vacation.
