Lately

We've been trying to enjoy the weather before it gets too hot by going on walks. It also helps calm Sadie down when she gets a little fussy. She loves being outdoors. I'm not sure what we're going to do once the temperature hits 100°.

Sadie has been busy trying to get moving. She scoots to the side a little and can push herself back, but is still working hard to move forward. I call this her walrus impersonation. 

Our library has an infant play group that meets the second and fourth Friday of each month. We checked it out this week and had so much fun. Sadie was the youngest baby there by a few months, but we were able to participate. It's a really awesome program that stresses the importance of early childhood development. We did a sensory activity involving noodles that had been colored with food coloring. Since Sadie can't fully sit on her own I put her in the tub and let her go to town. She was interested, but didn't dive right in. She was so serious playing with the noodles and checking them out. We ended with a couple songs and headed home.

On Saturday we had a family barbecue. Reed's Aunt was in town so we had a little get together at his cousin's house. Sadie gets a little nervous around big, loud groups of people. She would be fine if I held her, but if anyone else tried she would start crying. We were able to stay for a few hours and visit. Reed worked so I took Sadie baby home and he stayed for a few more hours.

Speaking of the weather, we've been sitting on the patio the past few Sundays. The only time Sadie will let us sit down is if we're outside. She's becoming quite the character. It's so much fun to watch her. She starts talking and then bursts into giggles at something she said. Apparently, she's a comedian like her mama!

And who doesn't love a sleeping baby?
