Eight Months

She's growing so quickly! Sarah said "MaMa" a few times about a week ago. She's also eating a lot more solids. Since I've talked about them last, she's had sweet potatoes, squash, apples, bananas, and pears. Peas, sweet potatoes and pears are her favorites so far. Not a fan of bananas at all. She also has two teeth coming in on the bottom front.

Two new things Sarah is doing are sticking her tongue out and moving her knees up when she's on her tummy. The tongue thing always makes us laugh. Sarah is on a mission to crawl here soon. Any guesses on when it might be?

We lowered Sarah's crib about a week ago; just another example of how she's getting so big so fast...

Zemira Catherine is Here!

Our close friends, John and Nicole, welcomed their baby girl on Monday, May 10th. Zemira is just beautiful, and we are so excited to be a part of this wonderful time in their lives!

First Mother's Day

For the past seven years, I haven't looked forward to this day, so I wasn't quite sure how it would be, but my first Mother's Day was wonderful. What a blessing my baby girl is!

My Personality is Really Starting to Show!

Sarah and I met Daddy for lunch, and Sarah sat in the highchair for the first time. She really liked to look at everything that was going on around her.

Our attempts at bluebonnet pictures with the girls this week.

The girls really played well with each other. Sarah wanted to put everything in her mouth, and Addison wasn't too happy when Sarah would take whatever Addison was playing with so she could put it in her mouth.

Can I have some of your food, Addison? That looks tasty...

Sure, cuz, but don't tell your mom; you aren't suppose to be eating this stuff yet...

Sarah is trying to go forward, but all she can accomplish is scooting back. She tries so hard; it's pretty entertaining to watch her these days!

We were about to go for a walk. I'm not sure what this face is all about, but I thought it was a cute one!

We went to feed the ducks by the lake. Sarah enjoyed seeing them, but we could have done without the heavy wind; check out Sarah's hair...
