Sarah: 11 months

Happy 11 months, Sarah! It is incredible to me that I am planning my baby's first birthday party. This has been a big month. She is changing so fast! The photos this month aren't quite as good as some previous months because she never sits still. Keeping her in one spot to pose for a photo was highly challenging.

 What's up with Sarah this month:

• Our toothless wonder finally got her first two teeth. She is having fun chomping things with them, including Mom and Dad.
• Pulling up on everything, cruising around all of the furniture, and crawling like a speeding bullet.
• Has all kinds of wonderful new talents, like opening cabinet doors and unrolling toilet paper.
• Makes lots of fun sounds, and will repeat back if you blow raspberries at her or making a roaring sound.  She loves to roar.
• Absolutely loves dogs-real dogs, pictures in books, and dogs in cartoons. She giggles every time Clifford comes on the screen.
• Loves talking to Grandma on FaceTime.
• Dance parties are still a favorite.
• Fell asleep on her own for the first time! We are still working on making this a habit, but it is a step in the right direction.
• Her adorable, curly hair is finally long enough to put in a barrette! 

 She wants to stand up all the time. Always. On everything.

 This is pretty much how this photo shoot went. Why would she want to stand still when there are places to go and things to stick in your mouth? Notice her characteristic bear crawl.

Such a happy girl!
