Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...

She LOVES telephones...hmmm...I wonder who she's been watching at home!
Sarah got a new outside slide/mini house, and she loves it! Our neighbor, Bonnie, loves it too :-) Don't Sarah and Bonnie look cute together? We are still laughing about Sarah's teeth--so you can see what they really look like I am attaching a picture--although it is not one of my favorite Sarah pictures, you can see the "fangs"! Fortunately, I guess, it looks like she is about to get the top middle two. Sarah is getting to be such a big girl now--she loves to "talk on the phone" and climb onto/into things. She also can say many words, quite enthusiastically (shoe, hi, bye, outside, all done, more, stuck, juice, paci--papi, night night, nana, to name a few), and she can do several signs (eat, more, please). I'm sure other babies her age are similar, but I think she's brilliant!

Who needs a gym when you can "Elmocize?"

Sarah drinking milk from a big girl cup-yay!


Sarah loves the rocking chair Mrs. Leslie gave her!


Sarah exhausted after a busy day at Five Star Academy

I have really been feeling bad lately about my lack of time spent exercising, but I have a new plan now. Today after Sarah and I went for a short jog, we came back to the house and popped in the "Elmocize" video. I got to do some crunches and push ups and Sarah danced and stared at the TV--believe it or not it was a workout. I guess that shows how out-of-shape I am these days!

Here is a quick update: I went back to work two weeks ago, and Sarah started her new day care, Five Star Academy. So far she is adjusting well, slowly but surely. She even slept on the big girl rest cot the first day! We did get several calls during the last two weeks about possible illnesses, and Sarah had a pretty rotten cold last weekend and has been coughing all week, but overall the transition back to work has been smooth although stressful and busy.

Sarah is working on tooth #4 I think now--tonight she tripped and barely even hit the floor and her mouth just started oozing blood--after trying to figure out how she bit her lip, we realized that it was just her gum bleeding where I think tooth #4 will appear--poor baby!
