Sarah Margaret Celebrates 7 Month Birthday in Ohio

Click here for her 7 month album.

We had a great time seeing the Tresize clan this past weekend and fun at Aunt Niki's wedding shower. Sarah Margaret was very giggly and smiley when we got there and so excited to have Gramma Sue play with her. We've never heard her laugh so much for such a long time. Sarah loved going after the doggy (Snuggles) and thought her toys were much more interesting than the her toys.

On her actual 7 month birthday, she made her first trip to Cosco (didn't get any photos:(). She loved riding in the cart looking at everything and all the people. The carts even have two baby seats so plenty of room to bring along some toys. She had a great time shopping at Cosco with Gramma Sue and Nana. We definitely needed the three carts :)

Since we got back from Ohio, she just started making the "mama" sound and loves to say it. Sometimes she will make her mouth move without making the sound. We're now working on "dada" with her.

Busy Little Bee

Enjoy some of Sarah Margaret's recent photos at her 6 month album.

She sure is buzzing along exploring the world around her and keeping Mom & Dad very busy.
Her new favorites around the house are the door stops and our vents. She still loves shoes and bags (she takes after her mother :)). Sarah loves to eat and has so far tried butternut squash and summer squash. Next on the list are sweet potatoes and zucchini. My favorite cookbook where I find all the recipes is Cooking for Baby by Lisa Barnes. In the 7/8 month chapter there is a recipe for baby stock (to be used like chicken stock in some of the recipes)!

Thanks for checking in with us and hope you all enjoy the fall!

Opa!

Sarah Margaret did a great job today at her 6 month check-up. She is 26 1/2 inches tall (75th percentile) and 16 lbs (50th percentile). She is a very busy little girl now doing her army crawl to get where she needs to go. She officially has two sharp little teeth poking through on the bottom.

This weekend, she had a blast at the Greek Festival Saturday evening. The highlight by far was dancing with Uncle J. She fell asleep instantly in the car and slept so well that night. Her Ohio State baseball cap kept the sun out of her eyes. Thank you Beth!!

And She's Off...

This week marked a few milestones for Sarah Margaret, now just a few days shy of 6 months.
First of all, her first Buckeye game (Ohio St. won)!

Her first tooth coming through on the bottom.
This morning, she noticed her shadow and loved waving her hand to see the shadow move.

And she's mobile and not only scoots but rocks up on all fours.

Presenting....

In June, Sarah Margaret was in a photo shoot out at the airport for Butler's Theatre Department. Here is the poster that will be up in October to publicize their upcoming production:

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!
