Finally...Christmas Pictures!

First Steps

Yup, the little Miss took her first solo steps last night! I couldn't believe it! She walked from me to her new activity table all by herself! She was a bit wobbly and had her arms up in the air trying to balance herself but she did it! It took all of my strength to NOT yell out with joy...I didn't want to scare her! She tried a couple more times and fell...once pretty hard up against the activity table. Guess she's going to need a bit more practice...next time I'll be sure to have the video camera with me!

What an amazing day! She got so many fun toys! This Christmas was really special...made even more special because of her. Merry First Christmas, Love Bug!

Merry Christmas!

She's Santa's little Helper!

Sarah's New Toy...Pool

So daycare has this cool toy pool (or as I like to call it the toy "pit") that Sarah loves to play in. Grandma Keenan came up with a "great" idea for us to create our own toy pool just for Sarah here at home. So, Chris went to Target and actually found a wading pool (yes, I was secretly hoping that he would not find one until the spring) brought it home, blew it up and filled it with all of the soft toys he could find - all of this done while I was working upstairs. This is what I saw when I came downstairs...



It's HUGE!! We put Sarah in it this morning and well...she didn't enjoy it as much as we thought she would but..she was able to get out of it without hurting herself! Hooray!

Sarah and her BFF Megan

Megan is about 2 weeks younger than Sarah and they're best friends! She's so sweet and they are so cute together!

Our Weekend in the Bay Area

What a busy weekend! I think we were moving pretty much non-stop for 2 days straight! But, we had a fantastic time seeing old friends which helps make this time of year so special. Miss Sarah had a fun time (as you can see in the pictures)! Between playing with Miss Amelia, having fun at The Little Gym for Marie's birthday party and opening her first Christmas presents at the Tellez Holiday brunch, she's a little tired! We had such a great time...thanks everyone!

Just because...

I think she looks so cute...I can't help but post this picture!

Sarah at School

It looks like Sarah's having a lot of fun at school!

Here's a picture (of a picture) of her painting and her artwork!

And I love this picture (of a picture) of her!

Amazing Pictures of our Love Bug!

Sarah Having Fun at School

Sarah LOVES playing in the tunnel at school probably almost as much as I love watching her crawl through it! Miss Jill was telling me that last week, Sarah and Madyson wanted to go through the tunnel at the same time...and they got stuck! All she could hear was them both grunting trying to get un-stuck!

Sarah Having Fun on the Way to School

So last week I was driving Sarah to school. Normally she jabbers the whole way and we kind of talk back and forth. This particular morning she was quiet and I figured she had fallen asleep. We get to school and I open the back door to get her out and much to my surprise, she is NOT asleep but she had picked up the box of Kleenex that we'd left back there and had been pulling out tissues, one by one and tossing them around. She had managed to pull about 3/4 of the tissues out of the box during the 15 minute drive!! I couldn't believe my eyes! There was Kleenex everywhere! And she thought it was hysterical!

Too bad my camera wasn't working...it would have been a priceless picture!
