Six Months!

Lil' Rhino

Sadie is six (and a half!) months old! How half a year has passed in what feels like a minute is beyond me. I look back at her newborn pictures and can't remember her ever being so tiny. At over eighteen pounds now, there's not much tiny about her anymore!

Sadie's so active now and each day seems to bring with it a new discovery or mastery of a new skill. She sits completely unassisted, rolls all over the place, and thinks she can feed herself. Thinks being the operative word. The food splattered all over the high chair, the floor, my shirt and her hair would indicate otherwise, but that doesn't deter her.

She's recently started scooting, as well. Backwards. It's pretty funny to watch, but it typically positions her further from the toy she wants, which inevitably leads to some whining and frustration. She'll get there, though!

Here are some shots of all she's been up to the past month:

A daddy's girl for sure, she loves to give kisses to Derek.

Sadie loves pianos! Maybe she'll take to piano lessons better than I did. . .


Sadie's first time in grass. She's not so sure about it.


Visits with the grandparents! At the airport with Mema and Papa Shumaker.

Fun with Papa Rhinesmith.

Sadie's first wedding, although she seems just as enthralled with my boot as the festivities. (For those of you unaware of my boot, let's just say it's an injury from running. In heels. From a bird.)

Lots of snuggling with Grandma Rhinesmith and cousins Grace and Salem.

Sadie loved all the attention she got when we were home, including from her Aunt hilary, Uncle Javi and cousins Cael and Gabe.

Family fun at Brent's wedding.

Sitting!

Sadie's first pool experience. She wasn't impressed.

Goofy girl!
