Yes, we are here ... it's just been one of those kinds of long and busy couple of months.
Sarah is now one! She had a wonderful birthday party. Friends and family galore. She loved every moment of the attention and excitement. She didn't care much for cake, but enjoyed rubbing it into herself, her clothes and everything around her.
She has 11 teeth now, and is busy awaiting two more molars on the bottom. She runs around and plays from the moment she wakes up. Anyone who sees hers says she wears them out just watching.
She is well behaved when we go out, and enjoys just hanging out. Now that she can walk, she has learned that she can also walk around when we're out, and encourages you to follow her around.
My favorite moments with her are in the evening watching her eat dinner with gusto, getting everything all over, then spending ten minutes cleaning her and then kitchen down, playing on the floor, spending more time cleaning up ;), and then dressing her in her fleece footed PJs, and snuggling into bed.
She has so much personality and loves to play act everything you do. She calls on the cell phone, and even texts, with one of daddy's old phones. She plays tea party and takes out her purse, both gifts for her birthday.
Daddy still is splitting his days working and watching over his little girl. I am so thankful that we have that option. And that he does it so willingly, even when I am going nuts, and driving him crazy.
We have had a very blessed year. I can only hope that we remain as lucky and blessed this year. I have a wonderful husband who, like others, puts up with a crazy woman and still loves me unconditionally.
Christmas is finally in the air here. This time of the year goes so fast. It is insane. I love every moment. So I am trying to slow down and just soak in the moments.
Hope this finds you doing some soaking in too!
