This little lady is so precious to me! The past few weeks she has seemed to have changed so much. The biggest thing I have noticed is that she really enjoys being with people, she loves to move, and when she wakes up in the morning or from naps, she is just delighted... usually. She is still waking up about 4 times a night either hungry or needing to be soothed, leaving me pretty tired in the mornings.
Some of the other latest.
When I first pick her up, she tends to squeeze my hips with her legs and grip my shoulder tightly. Our morning hug is one of my favorite parts of the day :)
On labor day, we had a BBQ with family and a few friends and she was in her zone. She giggled, squealed, and thoroughly enjoyed playing with everyone. Usually she takes naps, but she was awake most of the day and was more interested in interacting and observing then eating.
When she is pooping or farting she likes to hold her breath and push ;)
She has an infatuation with water bottles and is always trying to drink from Rand and my Hydroflasks really.
She has been getting her first tastes of foods. I let her suck on apples and grapes and have attempted feeding her some tastes of brown rice. Shes not a fan of the brown rice right now.
Her voice is getting much louder. She loves to squeal, makes noises and giggle.
She likes to throw things. She has a pretty good arm.
I have noticed her get frustrated and angry. She tends to flail around and its kind of cute. She really can kick pretty hard though!
She likes to play kind of agressively. She enjoys airplane rides, sitting in her bumbo and hitting the sides, being shaken from side to side, being held upside down, playing Horsie with daddy, and being hugged tightly.

She attended a few of her first sporting games. She watched her first soccer game at Central cheering on her uncle while he coached ;)
Her first UND game was Women's Volleyball and she seemed to enjoy all the movement and noise. I'm super excited to have another fan by my side this fall.
While the month of July was full of travels, we stuck around Grand Forks and recharged for most of August. Rand's sister Alys was in town from Georgia (and the rest of the world), for a month and we enjoyed our time with her. I miss her already and savored our walks, talks, and time together. What a sweet woman she is!
UND sports have started and Rand, Ellie and I have had the pleasure of going to some volleyball and football games. Can't wait for the first home women's soccer game on Sept. 11!
I am going to start coaching a 1st and 2nd grade boys sunflake soccer team and I am incredibly excited to meet the little nuggets tonight.
Next week I am going to start watching a 1.5 year old little boy named Micah 3 days a week. I'm sure it will have its learning curve, but I am really excited for the adventure that will bring and another playmate for Ellie and I.
Rand recently redid his website and is enjoying learning more about web programming and design. You can check it out here: www.randseay.com
I recently started baking more and have found some creative, fun, and healthy recipes using a website I am in love with www.weelicious.com. This one is fun too, I learned how to can salsa!
We are enjoying the recent cool temps, excited for the upcoming weeks, and for our first fall with our little girl!
