Where's my baby?

It seems like overnight Sarah is leaving babyhood and turning straight into a toddler. She is trying to say some words. When you hand her something, she says "kee-koo" which we think is thank you. In this picture, she was eating a bowl of goldfish and when it was empty she came over to the counter and said "gol" and pointed. Oh my!

She is also getting very adept at eating with silverware. She still makes quite a mess, but she is very proud of herself.

And she loves brushing her teeth! Something that Cody despises to this very day. Maybe her enthusiasm will rub off on him.

Cody has been up to the usual with his daddy. Hunting, hunting and more hunting. On this day, Cody "shot" his stuffed puppy and bear and strung them up on the "skinning pole" (treadmill) to cut them up. No one will ever say he is not imaginitive!

Birthday party

I made Sarah's cakes for her birthday party. We all ate the big barbie cake and Sarah got the little one all to herself. At first she just kept sticking her finger into the same spot and sucking the icing off, then she dug in and ate a whole side.

Cody had fun helping her. He had been dying to do it since the day before when I made the cake while she was napping!

She let her cousins and brother open most of her presents, but she carried the boxes and the presents around to show everyone what she got.

She open one present all by herself. So much fun! Uncle Matt showed her where all the pieces go in her dollhouse, and how to work the little toilet.

Sarah really liked pushing around her new shopping cart. Cody also really likes it. I took Sarah for her one year appointment yesterday. She was 19 lb 5 oz and 28.65 inches long. Still a peanut! The appointment was uneventful except the doctor told me that when she passes out I should let her lay there until she comes around because the blood will flow to her head faster! Yikes.

Birthday portraits!

I just got my e-proofs from Sarah's birthday picture sitting. I couldn't wait until her birthday to post them. She is still at an age where she likes to get her pictures taken, or maybe it is different for girls, but she had a great time!

I so wanted to wear the hair clippy that matched her dress, and Shelby gave me the idea to put a gummy in her hair first. It stayed in just long enough for the photo shoot. Thanks, Shelby!

She walks all over the house pretending to talk on the phone, so the photographer grabbed a few shots of her while I was trying to get Cody settled down.

I really wanted to get a picture of her where you could see her little shoes, but this was the only full length one and she wasn't looking. Oh well! It's still adorable.

I wasn't planning to have any pictures of Cody taken, but she slipped one in while I was changing Sarah's outfit. Not bad!
