Mom and I ran a quick errand yesterday afternoon and left Sarah with my dad. He has watched her by himself before so this was no big deal. When we returned we found Grandpa standing up, holding Sarah wrapped in a blanket. This is not uncommon so we thought nothing of it. After further investigation, we found out that Sarah was actually wrapped in a blanket and had on only a diaper. The reason why? While we were gone, Sarah had a diaper blowout and grandpa had to deal with it. Needless to say, there was poo everywhere. As Grandpa scrambled to clean up this crying baby, clean clothes were not within arms reach and he was unsure altogether where they were, so that is why she was in a diaper and blanket only. I will have to say, that Sarah was clean and the diaper was on correctly so Grandpa did a great job. Mom and I thought it was quite funny but he did not. Now that he has proven he CAN change a diaper, he will have to come up with new excuse for not doing it!
Sarah Kate is 7 months old today. We have been so busy experiencing her and her ever changing abilities and personality that I have not taken a lot of pictures. So I got the camera out last night and snapped a few! She is sitting up very well and enjoys being in that position and playing with her toys. She is not crawling quite yet but is close. She gets on all fours but is not quite sure what to do from there. She can get around, however, by belly scooting and maneuvering on her forearms. She is eating solids and so far likes everything she has tried - carrots, sweet potato's, green beans, squash, apple sauce, pears and bananas. I try to make most of what she eats which is carrots and sweet potato's but sometimes it is just easier to grab the baby food. At her 6 month check-up she weighed 14lbs 7oz (25th %) and was 27" long (90th %). We just finished up swimming lessons last Saturday so now we are ready for some warm weather! Sarah loves to "talk" and make noise. She is very busy and I am sure she will be in to everything once she is mobile. I need to Sarah proof the house ASAP!
