She can sit up!

S can now sit up for as long as she likes. These pictures were taken one night when she got up and didn't want to go to sleep. It's rare that she actually wakes up during the night. She will move around and ask to eat but she rarely opens her eyes.

Fun at the park

There is a small park near our house that we walk to almost every night with S. She loves the baby swings. In August, we had fun at the park with some of my family.

Favourite toy

The toy S is playing with is the first toy she ever showed any interest in. She would get frustrated when she couldn’t get it in her mouth or when it fell. We would have to take it away if she got too frustrated and say “Tu finis”. Which means “ all done” in English.

Cat nap

The first week S was born we took a picture of S and Lady. Check out the post on March 28. It's crazy how much she has grown in such a short time. S really loves Lady but I don't think the feeling is mutual.

Daddy’s little helper

In the evenings S loves to be outside. One night B took her out to the truck while he worked on the lights. She found two ropes to play with while Daddy worked. She looks like she is tied up but she’s really not, I promise.

First trip

In early July we visited our friends and family in L. It was S’s first trip. I can’t believe how well she did in the car. She was able to sleep the entire time we were driving. It only took an extra hour and a half each way. Not bad with a 3 and a half month old. Our days were packed with great food and company. It was really nice to see everyone. I’m planning on heading back in late September.

More photos from our photo shoot

I really debated getting a professional photographer to take pictures of our family. It seems like such a splurge. But I also remembered how much I loved our family photos as a kid. We were really happy with the photographer we choose and the quality of the pictures. Here are a few more of our favourites. She had an option to buy the rights to all of the 40 odd photos. So we did. Anyone interested in having a full resolution picture just let us know.

First swim

We took Sarah swimming at my Aunt's in Windsor. She wasn't 100% happy about the whole experience. Since then she has started "swim" in the bath tub. And thinks it's super fun!

Sarah is using the same duck towel I got my cousins when they were little.
