The summer is over and fall is just around the corner. Time has flown by fast. It sure does seem like it was just yesterday that Philip and I were waiting for Sareh's birth. Now Sareh is 11 months old now and has grown so much. She has two new teeth on the bottom so that is a grand total of 8 teeth. She is eating mostly table food these days. So far she loves mashed potatoes, rice, pancakes, banans, and applesauce. Walking is all Sareh is interested in these days. She holds onto anything that will help her navigate around the living room. We are learning quicly that Sareh has a long reach. Sareh likes anything to do with music which always turns any frown into a smile. Bathtime is one of her favorite activities especially now that she has learned splashing. Philip has posted some new pictures where everyone can see how much Sareh has grown. Sareh now talks non-stop these days saying Mom, Dad, Bye, Hi, Moo, Nana, Papa and she knows a good number of signs as well. Sareh can sign eat, more, milk, all done, and drink. Whenever we go out Sareh waves at everyone she sees and she is most animated when she sees other children. No matter where we go Sareh always seems to bring a smile to all the faces that she meets. 7/22/2009
Originally Jonathan was only going to be able to come visit for two weeks (which would have been the longest he had ever visited us) But midway through the visit we were able to talk his mother into letting him stay an additional two weeks!
While he was up we were able to get him to the dentist (got two cavities filled) and to the eye doctor where he picked out his first pair of glasses. Very strange child we went into the office with him begging to get glasses, well he got his wish! He looks very good with his new eyewear!
Other highlights of his visit were learning to tie his shoes, working on his reading/spelling workbooks, learning to make scrambled eggs and trying shrimp for the first time.
We all had a great time and will miss having him around. Sareh looks around trying to find him every morning during breakfast for him while saying "buh, buh, buh, buh, buh..." which is what she got out of us trying to teach her to say "brother"
Sareh is determined to walk, and has no interest in crawling. She doesn't pull up on anything yet, but wants to go for "walks" all the time. She seems to think she can go it alone as she is constantly trying to let go of our hands...and pretty quickly falls on her behind.
We lost our camera around the time Sareh got baptised, so the only new photos are in the Latest Photos from when went to Studio One. 4/7/2009Sareh is now 5 months old and she has grown so much. Just when we thought much needed sleep would be coming our way Sareh has started teething. Our very happy baby in the morning turns into a pitiful crying ball of drool at night.
We have decided that Sareh must take after her Daddy because she now weighs over 17 pounds and is 25 inches long which puts her in 6-9 months clothes. Mommy is just hoping that she doesn't pass me by in height before she is 8. We will post more details after Sareh's 6 month checkup.
More pictures of Sareh are posted as we get them. We have also started a new library which we are working for videos of Sareh which chronicle such things as finding her feet and her first meals.
We are still scanning in family photos and adding those to the family archive.
