What We Have Been Up To!

We have been up to a few things since the last time I wrote. Sarah is now seven months. I can't believe it. Time passes so quickly. A few of the the things she likes to do now are... laughing, she has quite a sense of humor. She loves to crawl, and stand and get into everything. She definitely would rather walk then crawl, if she could just figure how to get herself up. Toes are fascinating... and tasty (eeww!), and can be polished (not painted). The iron headboard can be hours of entertainment, especially when mommy is exhausted, and just wants her to go to bed.

She loves food. Crackers were a big hit and defintely a great adventure each and everytime. She is picking up some great signs - milk, water, eat, MORE (she loves this one...). You can tell her little mind is just going, going, going.

She spent a good twenty minutes last night "chasing" this Care Bear in circles on the tile. Every time she would reach for it... it would slide off to the side. She was deeply amused. (Man who didn't love Care Bears, I'm so excited we kept some of these toys - Thanks Nonna) She is also learning to share willingly. She plays with everyone from peek-a-boo, to where'd it go. She absolutely loves Duke, and is constantly enticing him, even when he tries to herd her with his barking.

Steve's brother Chris, stopped down from Utah, and spent the evening visiting with us. It was an unexpected surprise, but Sarah was definitely fascinated with her Daddy's brother.

For Father's Day we made Daddy a card, and Sarah worked hard to eat the pen and the card and sign it at the same time. Thanks to Ms. Kelli, we finally put together the picture frame from Valentine's Day and add a Daddy and daughter pic to it. I think it turned out too cute.

Auntie came and watched her while Mommy and Daddy went and moved classrooms for hopefully the last time in a long while. (More to come on that in another post) We spent time with Nonna, and of course doing our favorite thing... shopping, which gained us a great new pal.It says all the letters of the alphabet, all the sounds, colors, and plays the tune ABC's if you pull the string, which she does constantly because she has a thing for cords (see the next pic). But it also plays 26 songs... I don't know whether to be happy about that or terrified. And for those of you crazy people... if you try to make it say a bad word... it responds with a "that tickles" instead of finishing the word.

Lastly, yep here is my cherub trying to attack the camera cord. She can find a cord a million miles away, and knows that it drives everyone crazy when she puts them in her mouth!

It's been a busy couple of days... but man, it's never dull!
