August

Sarah Ella at ChurchSarah Ella dressed as a bible character at daycare. dont know how to flip this.

I cannot believe that I haven't posted in over a month! Sarah Ella is just great! She is 5 months old now. She likes to coo and laugh out loud when you buzz her cheek. She is loving her exersaucer and play gym. She still is very content just to stay where she it put - not rolling over much and some scooting. She is on a pretty regular schedule for eating and napping which makes us very happy. I have played with oatmeal, oatmeal w/ applesauce and just a hint of sweet potato. She told me she wasn't really excited about the whole spoon thing and would like to wait for that. I was eating the sweet potato for dinner and she was reaching for it. So I mashed up some and put it on my finger and she sucked it right off! She thought that was fun, but really wasn't interested in having that as a meal. The other day Adam brought SE home from daycare and I told him that she wasn't mine! I had a tiny, short baby and the one he brought home was very tall! It seems like she grows overnight! We are still loving daycare. She is moving to the Advanced Infant Class at the end of the month. I think that has something to do with IQ, but they insist it just has to do with the age. She will be with 3 other babies that are closer to her age so they will be doing the same activities. She did her first finger painting a few weeks ago and I thought it was beautiful- it is already in a frame and at her Daddy's office.
We will be taking a trip to Portland, OR over Labor Day Weekend to see Misha and Jason Garey. Misha was my big sis in dental school. They are expecting in December and I'm so excited that baby Garey will be so close to SE's age. We love taking vacations with The Garey's!
I am a business owner as of August 1st! It is very exciting and it couldn't be going better! I'm learning a lot about accounting and business management which I find terribly boring, but it's part of being a grown-up. I have been keeping SE at the office with me while I work late and that is so much fun! I look forward to when she can be at the daycare across the street (she has to be 2) and I can watch her play while I work!
Adam is keeping very busy with his work. He loves what he does too so he finds himself at the office late often. Luckily, we are both understanding and supportive of each others work schedules. He is also still playing tennis and softball once a week and golf when he can. I don't see how he does it!
