Enjoy some of Sarah Margaret's recent photos at her 6 month album.
Click here for the newest photos.
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.

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!
