Our Beautifual Handful!

Here are some new entertaining videos...I don't think that it is a good sign that Sarah already knows how to lock herself in her room. Notice the squeal of attitude that she adds after the door is shut.

The Middle of September Already!

It has been great stretch of weather the last few weeks so Sarah has enjoyed going to the park, swinging in the backyard, riding in her wagon, and doing lots of stuff outside. She is walking more and more inside the house too, but Sarah is still not very interested in running yet.





As far as new pictures go...Sarah really likes playing with her new Diego and baby jaguar ball in the house.














Sarah likes showing off her new "big girl" car seat too. She is still only about 20 pounds, but she was getting too tall for her infant car seat.

Sarah also likes running around half naked showing off her cool cloth diaper.

And Sarah loves climbing on anything that can serve as a makeshift trampoline. For instance, here she is using Mollie and Lucy's dog food bag...

And here Sarah is climbing all over the toilet paper from Costco...

More Videos!

I hope that everyone enjoys these videos from the last month. Sarah is still not very interested in walking, but she sure gets into everything and loves to squawk while she's at it.

Sarah's Climbing (Into) Adventures

Besides climbing into her toybox downstairs, Sarah has figured out how much fun it is to climb inside her stuffed animal basket. Apparently all of the animals wanted out to play.

Sarah also really likes to play inside the cardboard box that daddy brought home from work.

Sarah and Her "Pretty"

Sarah wore a beautiful dress for church yesterday and even had a "pretty" in her hair. Mommy has even started to brush her hair a little bit after bath time. Sarah has started to drool a bunch more again because she has lots of upper and lower teeth coming in.

Sunday afternoon Sarah got bored playing with daddy in the basement so she found her own game to play...

Even More Summer Fun...

Sarah continues to have lots of fun this summer. She keeps us very busy, but it is even more amazing when she crawls back into her room and reads through her books for a half hour or more just pointing and babbling at the pictures.



Here Sarah is playing with Grandma Diane by one of her favorite spots...the refrigerator. Notice how neatly Grandma has placed the letters in alphabetical order. Sarah loves to go after all of the magnets then and knock them down.

Sarah loves to crawl up and down the hallway or as another option, grab onto her lion (in the background) and walk back and forth banging into the walls. The little blue wheel on the lion is what she fell on to give her that nasty black eye.

It is such hard work for Sarah to be cute...here she is practicing her lady-like clap.

Sarah chewing on her moose magnet. I am sure minutes after this picture was taken all of the magnets were on the floor.

Lucy visiting Miss Sarah while she decides whether she wants to read another book or play with her sandwich.

Sarah "borrowed" my birthday card that I received from Amelia and it quickly became her new short story book. She just loved the girl doggie with pigtails on the cover of the card.

Sarah is growing fast and by the looks of this picture you would think that Joella and I never feed her. The only thing more interesting than the inside of the fridge are all of the pictures on the freezer door. Sarah could spend hours pointing at all of the pictures as we tell her all of the names. I wouldn't be suprised if she says someone else's name before mommy and daddy.

More Summer Fun With Daddy

Sarah finally made me add a new post to the blog because she has to tell everyone about all of the fun stuff that we have been doing lately...





Here is daddy and I getting all dressed up for church (Thanks for the cute dress Aunt Lisa!)...

Daddy and I had lots of fun cheering for Albert during the All-Star game! Too bad the National League lost again...(ignore my black eye, I fell onto my lion the day before)...

Daddy has been trying to teach me to hang onto my tricycle this week. Amelia gave it to me when we came back from Arkansas. Give me a little time and I'll be cruisin' everywhere!

Daddy even found these old pictures of Amelia learning how to ride the tricycle...

Bye-bye everyone...Love You! (especially when I get to play peek-a-boo, eat ice cream, open presents...)
