Six months is FANTASTIC

It's true, this time in Sadie's life is so fabulous. She is so curious and is such a little explorer. She is consistently rolling from front to back and vice versa and has started to scoot backwards... yes, SCOOT - yikes, it is the start of mobility.  She is now pulling herself up on all fours and it will be no time before she is crawling around. She is also enjoying her new view of the world from her sitting up position. She is pretty steady, but I still need to be there in case she tips over. 

She is eating all sorts of yummy foods like oatmeal, pears, apple sauce, peas, sweet potatoes and loves it all. She tends to make a mess of both of us in the process as she loves to blow zerberts while eating. She is also pretty fond of mushed up bananas and cheese. 

She has quite the personality and is constantly smiling, talking, and laughing. She doesn't even cry in the morning when she wakes up.... we wake up to her talking to herself and her stuffed animals. Yesterday, Kurt was playing peek-a-boo with her and she was cracking up! It was awesome. 

We have been going on many adventures and have met some great new friends from our library excursions. We are super excited to have met another infant girl who lives just down the block from us!

She played on the swings for the first time when we were in Ludington for Father's day. She LOVED it and could not stop smiling.

...and here are just some super adorable pictures of our girl. we are just so lucky to have her in our lives and could not imagine our lives without her. she is the best!

A day at the park

Grandma & Grandpa Johnson were over to visit and we had a great time enjoying the lovely weather. We had a bit of a plumbing issue on Saturday, but got it fixed and can now flush our toilets and take a shower... this was just our homes way of welcoming us back to home ownership! 

Sunday was such a fantastic day and we spent most of it outside at the park on the lake by our house. We packed a yummy picnic and watched the boats go by. 

Sadie is starting to sit up all on her own. She'll sit up for about 10 seconds and then topple over. She had a great time at the park and then passed out on the stroller ride home... whew, learning to sit up is hard work.

Who's the cool chick in daddy's shades?

We love our area and this park is only a 10-15 minute walk from our house and is a few blocks from Kurt's work. How FANTASTIC!
