How Sarah eats a banana!!!

I love bananas. Let's have another....

Big pieces are my favorites!

Perfecto!

Yup, it is still in there.

Whew, my mouth is getting kinda full!

That means MORE MORE!


Hmm, now I have to bend my head back to keep it all in there!

A bit overflowing...

Definitely overflowing....

Officially coming out!

Giving up. These two guys I will have to save for later!

Labor Day

This week...

Sarah crawled into my lap for the first time. Melts your heart! She also crawls on other things around the house before I can put them up. See below....

Continues to push anything and everything around the house and screams in frustration when she gets to a wall (which is very quick!)

Got kicked out of daycare on Friday for poops, luckily I had off on Friday.

So we went to Striderite today and she is a 4M, however, I just couldn't bring myself to pay $40 for ugly ergonomic shoes.  Yes, $40 dollars. INSANE!  So, I used my amazon gift card to buy her a brown and silver pair with the same ergonomic online and then hopefully, I won't have to buy anymore until size 5!  It was crazy patterns for these shoes and they would match nothing.  I would rather pay more and her match than the opposite!
Sarah on the water bottles. She soon slides off.....

Celebrating Selen's passing of the Bar exam! Yep, baby in a bar.

Sarah at school with Finley!

Pre-Toddler Hood

With the advent of Sarah walking I think we are officially leaving the baby stage behind.

Why? For these reasons.

1. She completely squirms out of the high chair and can do a 360.
2. Can make it down the hallway all by herself walking.
3.  TEMPER TANTRUMS
4. Curiosity killed the cat but not my Sarah!


Diggin in Drawers...

helping daddy work out....

push ups with an extra 20 lbs weight (all Sarah's idea)

Feeding herself with her sippy cup.

Dinner at Five guys.. Currently, staring at the couple a table over!!

11 Months!

Sorry I am slow to post since our wonderful rental agency still hasn't fixed the electricity. Two guys actually did come out on Friday to fix it but couldn't figure it out.  They said they would call me this week. We will see!  In the meantime two weeks for the short sale to be approved or it is some foreclosure time!  Trying to not get vested in the new house but already ready to purge.  Who am I kidding? I am always ready to purge!

Trying to do the photo shoot this month got a lot harder. We were all over the living room and kitchen for this one. Wish I had picked up everything!  (Makes me more excited for our family photo shoot --- but I need to find outfits.. EEKS!!)

Working on her walking skills

Realized that the shopping cart holds toys!!

Loving the laundry basket ride!

Shiner is jealous!!

Is that all that these two do?

Start of the 11 month photo shoot!

Immediately bored!

Mom made a faux hawk and Shiner decided that she really likes Sarah's baby lotion.

Getting re-placed for her picture!

Table much better location for the shot!

I thought that this one was super cute!!

Getting so big!

Sarah stands a lot now on her own and usually takes a few steps everyday.  She still likes hanging on to  furniture, but now reaches up to grab stuff on tables, chairs and out of the trash.

A little late on the blog because several of our electrical outlets don't work, including the one connected to the computer. As a result this makes an insane amount of repair requests that our property manager won't answer.

1. Leaky faucet outside (since January)
2. Under the sink leak that has caused the subcabinet to bow down. (july)
3. Electrical outlets  (very late July)
4. Creature remnants found in a cabinet.  (so gross but we have set traps and such and no return. So crossing my fingers (Since April!)

This is ridiculous!!! As such, we are looking to finally buy a house. Craziness. We will see how that goes.  We went and saw our friends new house they are building and the model home.  It gave me serious space envy and Sarah loved exploring and doing laps.  Makes me feel slightly bad!

Let's see what else. Every since the trips this summer Sarah has not gone to sleep as well in her bed and now it has evolved to not wanting to sleep EVER in her bed. So we have been trying sleep training.  It works but I thought it would be getting a bit shorter by now. Her voice is hoarse during the day from her night crying.  However, basically once she goes to sleep she doesn't even wake up during the night so it has been great to pretty much have my bed back.

Here are the pictures!

Dad and Minime

She hates anything tight to put on!

Twists and turns while changing diaper now. Has led to two oops on the changing table this week!

Mom and Babe!

Both kiddos napping!
