Bonnets and Booties

When Sarah was less than two months old I took her to visit my Grandma for the first time. It was the middle of August and I couldn't help but break into a nasty sweat as I toted Sarah's carrier awkwardly along side of me. Her visit was a hit and my Grandma was ecstatic to hold a wee one again (she did have nine of her own). However, I did find it strange that she kept asking me where Sarah's bonnet and booties were. Grandma insisted that she must have her feet and head covered to stay warm. I thought, "It's the middle of August... she'd probably rather be naked... I know I sure would." I didn't want to contradict my dear sweet Grandma so I replied, "Oh, I forgot them."

About a month ago I put an outfit on Sarah that I received at my baby shower last May. It was from my Grandma, and wouldn't you know it, the outfit came with a bonnet and booties.

Thanksgiving Feasts and First Bites

With the delicious smells of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing filling the air, we all remember to thank the important things that make consuming these treats possible... like teeth. No, not all of us contain these necessary tools. However, with Sarah's first little tooth barely poking through her bottom gums at four and a half months old, we had to make some Thanksgiving Day adjustments. The semi-solid mush, i.e. rice cereal, is by no means a fair replacement for the typical holiday spread. Yet, we all must start somewhere and Sarah's feast was definitely an enjoyable one.
