Sarah has decided she would like to sit up now, finally. I was beginning to wonder; every time I put her on the floor she would just flatten herself out so she could roll around all over the place. And she does roll around ALL OVER the place. She is quite good at getting where she wants to go. She just didn’t seem very interested in sitting. But I think she’s now at the point where she’ll stay up for a few minutes at a time.
We had a few errands to run in Little Rock today, so we decided to find something fun (and preferably free) to do as well. Thanks to Sue at The Joyful Chaos, I read about the great things to do at Riverfront Park, including the water feature you can play in! I think Anna was a little unsure at first, but she quickly grew to love it! We stayed about an hour. And for those of us not getting wet, it was actually pretty nice in the shade, especially when the wind blew the mist over.
Sarah is 8 months old today! It seems like every month when this rolls around we are busy with something else. In this case, we were coming back from my annual family reunion trip. I was going to just put Sarah on the floor and snap a few pictures of her in her onesie, but I’m glad I dressed her up and took her outside instead, because some of these came out great!
Sarah has a tooth! She cut her first one maybe yesterday or the day before; I’m not sure. I could feel it before I could see it, so I’m not sure which one counts. But anyway, she has a tooth. She does not, however, have a toothbrush… I guess I’d better go toothbrush shopping!
And… Sarah had her first swim this weekend! Not to be outdone, she got in the wading pool with her big sister and cousins.
Here we go…
It’s Sarah’s turn to borrow Mommy’s sweater! This is a sweater from when I was a baby!
And… we put Sarah in the high chair for the first time a couple of days ago. She’s been eating well for a few weeks now, but we’ve been just having her sit on our laps. It’s nice to have a hand free now!
Today is Sarah’s 7 month birthday! This little doll is so much fun. She loves to play with toys and anything she can get her hands on. And she can get her hands on a lot. She rolls around and flops all over the floor, frontwards, backwards, sideways… any way she can to reach what she wants. It’s kind of nice that she can entertain herself now for a little while by just being on the floor with a few toys scattered around.
She is also eating solids now. I can’t believe how well she eats! The first few times, most of the food ended up on the bib, but by about the fourth feeding, she got the hang of it and has been enjoying food ever since. She eats rice cereal, oatmeal, green peas, and bananas. We’ll add another fruit and veggie over the next week or so.
Sarah is 6 months old today. Half of her babyhood is gone. Half. GONE! Waaaah! Ok, that’s enough. Here are some pictures!
We had Anna’s 3-year birthday party this past Saturday. It was her first “friend” party and she had two little girls over, as well as all the grandparents.
We started with “stick the candle on the cake” (like “pin the tail on the donkey”):
And, while you’re at it, take a look at those curls!
Anyway… next was the stamp-a-bag craft. I borrowed foam stamps from a friend and bought fabric paint and canvas bags from Hobby Lobby:
