S loves food!

I’m not surprised S loves food. In this picture she’s eating a piece of venison and in the other a carrot. We are doing baby led weaning which is basically the way babies used to start eating food many generations ago. She can eat anything, fish, bread, fruit, veggies, you name it, she can have it. Don't worry it is safe because she has already been exposed to these foods through my breast milk.

Visit to Papa’s house

Sarah loved being at Papa’s house. She particularly liked his dog, Micki. Every time the dog barked S laughed, a big belly laugh. It was so funny! Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures of that or video.

Lots of poop

On the trip home S woke up crying and then fell back to sleep. When we stopped I found a surprise, a completely full diaper. She got her bum changed on the front seat of the car. While changing her she peed and I had to drive home with a towel on the seat.

Visit to Grandma's house

S loves being at Grandma's house. She also loved touching Mom's face. Later she had a bath in the kitchen sink. S had a great time splashing away.

Trip to Niagara

S and I went to visit my family in August. The trip normally takes 6 hours but at that time S would cry in the car if she wasn’t asleep. And when I say cry I mean cry. She would get so upset she would be gasping for breath. As you can image it was very distracting. On the trip down, I make it to Kingston and considered turning back. But I really wanted to go so I came up with a strategy. I would walk her around in the carrier until she was ready to go back to sleep. It worked very well. We only stopped twice for about 1.5 hours each time. It was really hard to travel with her by myself. I had to take her everywhere including the rest stop bathroom but she loved the adventure.

These are two pictures from the trip. The one in the pink sleeper was her expression after I put her in the car seat for the last time. She was ready for the trip to be over and so was I.

If S was a boy…

We have a couple of thing that really are boy’s clothes. So one day we dressed her up and took a few pictures. I think the curls still make her look like a girl.

It's been too long...

I finally have a few minutes to get to the blog. There never seems to be enough time in a day. Plus S loves to be out doing things, not sitting a home in front of the computer. Here are some pictures from August. Sarah is laying on her crib bedding. It looks really nice with the hard wood crib.
