Busy Baby

Sarah has been really busy lately!  Busy talking, busy running, and busy playing!

I was trying to take pictures of her laying on her tummy and kicking her feet when she suddenly jumped up, yelled something at me (I haven't quite mastered her vocabulary yet), and ran off into the other room.  She returned with her stroller and her bear, and plopped that bear right into the stroller for a walk! 

It was only after I glanced at the TV that I noticed that Olivia's mom was taking all her piggy children on a walk, too.  Man, is Sarah smart!!!

 

Everyone knows that walks inside are boring, so Sarah took White Bear outside for a few turns around the deck.

 

Sarah eventually tuckered out, and we went inside.  She asked to watch TV again and then plopped down in her chair to watch "The Fresh Beat Band"...and attempt some yoga???  Notice how she never takes her eyes off the television...

 

 

 

 

Noodles

Sarah loves noodles.  She also loves feeding herself.  When the two mix, hilarity (and laundry) quickly ensue...

Luckily, Daddy was there to help.

Uh-oh!  Looks like Green Monkey is hungry, too!

Maybe Sarah should finish the rest of the spaghetti...

Foxy Lady

This past week, I've been slowly working on a new dress for Sarah.  I say slowly because I've had to do a LOT of "fixing" on this one!  It's my own fault for trying to follow a pattern I printed off the internet, but the example looked so cute and I thought it would all be so easy!  And then I discovered that the back was about 3 inches smaller than the front...

 

At any rate, I finally finished hand-stitching a tiny fox on the front of the dress today, so Sarah got to model it for me!  I quickly realized that it was really more of a tunic-length than a dress-length, so I whipped up some leggings to cover that diaper!  It turned out pretty cute, I think.

 

 

Luckily, Sarah had a reason to be all dressed up tonight!  We celebrated Grammie's birthday (a little late) with brats and pink lemonade cake.  It was a beautiful night to sit out on the deck, and Grammie had a blast teaching Sarah how to "shuffle, step, ball change."  I think tap lessons may be in our future...

 

 

She was trying it on her own in no time!

 

Once she got tired of dancing, Sarah had Grandpa help buckle Puppy into the stroller for a few wild rides around the deck.  I'm not sure that stroller meets all of the safety codes, but Puppy lived to tell his tale!

 

 

Then it was time to help Grammie open her gifts!  Sarah may have thought the tissue paper was Kleenex...

 

 

Sarah had one more bite of cheesy corn, and then it was cake time!

 

 

Happy Birthday, Grammie!
