Our Strawberry Blonde

Sarah Margaret has changed so much since my last post at the beginning of August. First of all, her hair is growing and it looks like she is going to be a strawberry blonde for now (like Bon Papa & Great Aunt Susie). We are constantly amazed each day at what new "thing" she is doing. Yesterday is was stratching her head and today it is a high pitch yelp. Over the past week, we notice on her playmate that she scootches around to go after different toys and gets up on all fours. The biggest development this month is starting rice cereal. The first time Andy and I gave it to her, all three of us never laughed so hard. She loves the rice cereal and especially grabbing the spoon to feed herself. She is working on sitting up and almost has that down. Our little peanut is almost 6 months old--hard to believe!

There are some more photos posted. Click here for the 5 month album.

These videos aren't the most exciting but I think the Grandparents will enjoy these!

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!

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.
