Lately...

Just a few updates on what we've been up to lately...

Playing in the dirt. She wasn't too sure that she liked dirt on her hands...until...
She met her good friend, St. Francis.
"Nice to meet you, sir."
Sally and Daddy have been playing a lot of peek-a-boo....
"Where's Sally? There she is!!"
She loves this puppy...Poor puppy, she doesn't pull it behind her, she lets it hang by its leash and walks around.
We cheered for St. Patrick's Day!
She discovered the refrigerator. Uh-oh.
"Oh boy! Look at all this fun stuff!"
We played in our tutu...She wasn't feeling the photo shoot, but she sure does love wearing her fun outfit!
Flashback to the 80's! "I'm a maniac, maniac....."
"Hmmm...what's out there?"
Walking...
Walking...
Walking...

As the countdown continues to Sally's first birthday, I am continually amazed at this precious little girl. We laugh and giggle and play all day long...She claps and cheers during dinner time. She giggles with delight while I change her diaper and tickle her legs (ok, most of the time). She lights up all over when she hears her daddy's voice in the evenings. She walks most places, but carefully considers how quickly she needs to travel...crawling is still her speediest method of attack! She dances. She talks. ALL. THE. TIME. She gets into everything. She shows me things she shouldn't have in her mouth and then spits them into my hand. She hugs me. She cuddles- for a few seconds anyway. She is amazing and the most precious gift. I am in awe.

11 Months Old

Sally was 11 months old yesterday. Unbelievable. Each month I am amazed at this precious little one. She has become so independent this month. She loves to play by herself. She plays and plays, but every once in a while she looks up just to make sure I'm still there with her. She is starting to walk. Her record is 9-10 steps. Crawling is still her preferred method if she needs to travel fast! She loves to eat! Her current favorites are grapes, cheese, and lunch meat. She will still let me feed her some things, but she really prefers to feed herself. Nighttime sleeping and napping are much, much better. I think** we are on the right track. Its great to feel completely rested! She is growing like a weed! She has outgrown all of her shoes, so Nana and I went on a shoe hunt this past weekend. This girl loves her shoes! We bought her 6 pairs of shoes in about 3 days...don't worry, some are going to be returned. We just bought some great sale items in case they fit! Sally can't pass up a good sale! The countdown until her birthday is officially on...
She isn't too jazzed about sitting still, but we needed our official Lambie shot!
"Come on, Lambie...lets blow this popsicle stand!"
She loves to feed herself with a spoon. It is not always successful, but she sure does enjoy it!
We were able to spend some time in Denton last weekend and Sally loved pushing her shopping cart up and down the hall at Nana and PopPop's house. (Ava, we stole your cute dress! Sally loved it so much that we snagged it when we were out shopping!)
She rode in the shopping cart for a good 30 minutes while her cousins pushed it. I'm not too sure what the white strap was used for...something completely safe, I'm sure! ;)
Sally and Daddy read books each night before bed...She absolutely loves it!
However, she did not love me taking pictures of their time together...
We had to trim her hair again! It was getting so long in the front that she couldn't see!
