Sara's 10 Months Old!!!
This past Friday, July 8th, Sara Bean turned 10 months old!!!
Ten months...and loving every second of it!!!
She loves being silly! This is her new favorite thing to do!
She loves her brother!
She loves handing us every little thing that's on the floor! What a great helper!
She loves playing chase!
But she sometimes gets distracted...because she loves to eat!
Sara, here's a little of what you've been up to lately! (besides the video's above)
- You LOVE to cuddle! You'll crawl straight over to our laps and rest your head on us! Or, you'll crawl into our laps and when we give you a great big hug, you'll rest your head on our shoulder, give a big hug in return, lay there for a good minute, and then you'll continue on your way playing. IT'S THE BEST!!!
- Your paci is more of a toy. You never have it in your mouth during the day, and at night, you like to have it, but you more so play with it than anything!
- We've yet to give you a food you haven't liked! Veggies, pasta, fruit, cheese, crackers, chicken...you name it, you eat it. Please stay this way!
- You are starting to take less of your milk. We still make 6 oz., but your morning bottle is the only time you eat it from start to end. All other bottles you only drink half of.
- You LOVE when we pour the water over your head in the bath! You think it's so silly and, at times, it tickles you because you'll get the shivers as it falls down your back!
- You are moving up to a size 5 diaper! You made it very obvious, all over Mommy's arm, that size 4 is getting too small for you!
- You love to go for walks!
- You don't like when we raise our voices. If you think there's the slightest chance that you are getting in trouble, you'll fold your body in half, resting your head on the floor, and you'll cry. It's the cutest thing ever, yet, we quickly go over to you to let you know it's OK!
- Just the other day you pulled yourself up to your feet for the first time!
Mrs., you are just the best!!! Thank you for the laughs you give myself, Daddy, and Eric! Just the other morning, Eric had crawled into our bed and fell back to sleep as he usually does. Hours later, Daddy and I woke to two giggling kids. You were sitting up in your crib, Eric was sitting up in our bed, and you were both laughing hysterically at one another! It was the best!!!
You love playing so much, that there are times you just need to lay down in the middle of it all and take a little rest! :)
WE LOVE YOU SARA!!! ALL 10 MONTHS OF YOU!!!

Sara's Baptized!!!
June 19th was a big day! Not only was it Father's Day, but Sara was Baptized!!!
She looked so beautiful in her dress! Unfortunately, her outfit was not complete. Mommy forgot her bow at home, that was made special for the occasion by Mommy and Daddy's friend Alison. :( I guess that's what she gets for being too focused on not forgetting the dress!
And we're off to go get Baptized!!!
After arriving at the church, we weren't too sure how things were going to go since both, Eric and Sara take a pretty mean nap starting at noon. Well, they got that nap all right, however, it was for 2 minutes on the drive over before we had to wake both of them for the occasion. Not to mention, Sara had a bad cold! Which way would it go...
It started off really well! Baby Girl was looking adorable and ready for her big day!
And big brother was doing a great job looking on!
The ceremony was beautiful! Though you were having to listen to it between Sara's cries! The only true time she stopped, was when the Priest put his hand on her head to bless her. It was a pretty amazing moment!
"Wait!?! We're done, yet, you're wanting to snap pictures! We don't think so!" We're pretty sure those were the exact words going through both, Eric and Sara's heads at this point!
Eric's breaking point!
Sara's breaking point!
And this was just about Mommy's as well. The entire time Sara was pulling on her ear leading us to believe she had an ear infection. My heart was breaking, and I had huge guilt. Just day's before (when she came down with her cold) we were going to take her to the Dr. to make sure she didn't have one and I decided against it figuring she was OK.
Needless to say, Daddy took her the very next day and she was PERFECT! Boy would it have been nice knowing that during these next pictures! One is "better" than the next!!!
Once loaded in the car, Daddy didn't even push on the gas and this is what the back seat of the car looked like! They were both out cold! And stayed that way for 3 hours after we got home!
Eric woke first, and Grampa had a huge surprise for him! A new scooter!!! He picked it up instantly, and we found it interesting to see that he pushed with his left foot since he is a righty! :)
Baby Girl sure did have a big day! Eric even had time to play bubbles before she woke up!
Not only that, but he got to run around and play with Ruby as well!
About an hour later, Sara decided to join in on the fun and was feeling much better! She even got to play with Hannah (so sad we don't have pictures of their visit) and her Mommy and Daddy, Jeff and Dina!!!
Though the timing of the Baptism didn't sit well with their runny noses and two minute naps, it really was a beautiful day! The Church was the same Church Eric was baptized at, and they were once again incredibly nice to us. Sara even got a blanket that was crocheted special, just for her! It's beautiful!
We can't thank Auntie and Uncle John enough for being Sara's God Mother and God Father. It means everything to us! And we thank each and every one of you for being part of Sara's very special day!
We love you Baby Girl!!! Congrats on your big day!!! You're the BEST!!! P.S. Thank you for not having an ear infection!
