Sarah's newest...

This is what is new with Sarah...she has a new tooth on the top and another trying to break thru. It's so funny to see the top teeth in babies. They just seem so big to me when they first come in. I felt this way when Amanda's first came in. I was so worried that they were abnormally large and would look funny. Silly new mom.

She is a very good crawler and boy, is she fast, too. She stands up at every opportunity. She has just recently started cruising the furniture. She has some pretty good bruises on her forehead because she likes to crawl up to the furniture until she bumps her head into it, kinda like a battering ram. Then, when she makes contact, that's when she stops, reaches her hand up and stands. She doesn't really look where she's going, she just tucks her head and chugs along until she runs into something, then she stands up.

She's very stubborn, too. When her sister was a baby, I could tell her no and she wouldn't, say, tear into my house plants. We were able to leave all our plants where they have always been. OOOHHHHH, not Sarah. That little girl wants to do what that little girl wants to do. I can tell her no a thousand times and she just goes right on doing whatever she wants. The other day, I think I moved her away from a plant about 20 times before she gave up. I think we are going to have our hands full with this one. I do get frustrated with her, but then she gives me that cute little 2 tooth smile (3 now) and my heart just melts. I will tell her, "Don't you give me that cute little smile, you little stinker. You're in trouble and smiling...won't...get...you...out...of...oh, your so cute. Come here let me kiss that cute little face." See, it pays to be toothless, covered in drool and cute as a button.
