One Landes Place

For all 3 of you people that actually read my blog, I found this really neat site that lets you turn your blog entries and pictures into a book! I have been a scrapbooker for years but transferring my blog stuff to a scrapbook has been really tough. With this site, it does it for you and the books are priced reasonably. Anyway, just an idea for those of you who are interested.

The last few weeks around here have been filled with nothin' but the yuckies! Last week I had a rotten case of vertigo. One day I spent the entire day in about 10 square feet of our downstairs with Sarabeth. It was one of those days where I wish I could have just called in sick...but those days are no more. Matt left for work and I set up shop where I could care for Sarabeth without having to run into any walls or fall over. By Tuesday I was getting worse so I had the doc call me in a script for nausea. It slowly got better and by the end of the week I was good to go. Friday night Sarabeth woke up vomitting. Lovely. We had a grand b-day party at the zoo on Saturday and I LOVE THE ZOO! She didn't seem like she was sick although she did vomit another 2-3 times that morning and at the zoo...yes we went anyway. We had to skip an event that I really wanted to be at on Saturday night. (Thank you God for testing if my priorities were in line, they weren't-hence the zoo o...

Well, the tutu turned out so cute, but Sarabeth was not impressed. I think she found it a bit much. So for now it will hang in her room...mama tried!

Sarabeth has really started moving around a lot lately. She so wiggly when I hold her and she wants to touch and grab everything! She's scooting around kind of crawling but not yet all the way. She is pulling herself up on everything and standing! Today I found her on top of her Bumbo chair: Then later on she tried standing up while balancing on my leg: Every day she tries something new. Here she is trying to peek into the tall toy basket: Nevertheless, she's so much fun! She's starting to really understand "playing" and has started picking out favorite toys. I notice some go untouched and others she carries everywhere. Here are a couple of her favorites.

I've seen these tutu's everywhere and haven't found one that I can afford yet so I decided to make my own...by "my own" I mean for Sarabeth :) It only cost $7 to make and it took me about an hour. I'll have some pictures of her in it tomorrow, but here's how it turned out.

Sarabeth LOVES Rowdy and Roscoe. Roscoe is the beagle and he really doesn't have anything to do with her. He just sniffs and moves along. Rowdy on the other hand, licks her to death and she loves it! He lets her pull on his ears and grab is eyes. She gets so excited when she sees them.
