The Aggies started their season over the weekend, so we dressed Sarah accordingly to root them on. Go Ags! They beat their first opponent for the season. Yes, it was just S.F. Austin, but it's a win, so we'll take it!
Giving more love in the morning shortly after waking
Giving love to Einstein; Einstein is really hanging out with Sarah more these days. For the most part, Sarah is pretty gentle with him too.
Showing us what a big girl she's becoming!
Lately, Sarah has been pulling up on pretty much anything that she finds. Over the past week, she started going from the couch to the coffee table. She'll also sort of walk around the table while you hold her hand.
Another example of pulling up on random things. The humidifier has been in Sarah's room over the past week because she's been dealing with congestion.
Sarah and I joined a play group about a month ago. It's a really cool group because all of the children in the group were born in 2009, so they are all around the same age. Melody is playing with Sarah's hair here; she kept on "petting" Sarah throughout the playdate. It was pretty cute.
On Labor Day, we went to feed the ducks at the lake. This time, Sarah was more interested. The ducks were definitely happy that we stopped by!
We had Sarah's party at our house, and I decided to get creative (for me) with some of the decorations. 
It's kind of hard to see, but these are pictures of each month of Sarah's life. I went through all of the pictures we've taken of her, and I found the ones that just stuck out as being extra special and cute. 
Rusty and I made Sarah's cake; it was very special and neat to do that for her.
Sarah ended up getting sick on the night of her birthday, and it continued to get worse the next day (her party). She was a trooper, but as the day progressed, you could tell baby girl just wasn't her normal self.
Addison and Summer
Sarah LOVES this toy, and she doesn't want to get off of it. 
Time to open presents!
The girls could not wait for the cake to be cut; they patiently waited though!
PaPa is all smiles holding baby Sarah. By this time in the day, Sarah was beyond tired, and she just wanted her crib. She kept on putting her hands in her mouth, rubbing her ears, coughing, etc. So far, I think it's just a cold or teething. We go for her one year check-up on Tuesday, so we'll see. 
From this picture, it seems as though Sarah really wants to dig into her cake, but...
it was a completely different story once everyone was surrounding her, singing to her, and once she put her fingers in the cake and got all of that frosting on her. She did not want to have anything to do with it. 
Addison wanted to help out, and once she started going for the cake, it actually did calm Sarah down for a bit...
Daddy also tried to get Sarah to eat more of the cake by sticking his face in it, but that didn't work.
Sarah continued to not really be into this whole cake thing; I'm not sure if she ever even got a bite of the cake. 
This was the end result.
