Walking Sarah

Well, Sarah walks with a walker! It is so cute! I've been practicing with her and one day she found her walker in the corner of the room, grabbed the handles, and off she went! She makes a "bbbbbb" sound as she walks like a car motor. When I was practicing with her I made the same noise thinking she would like walking if it was more like a game than work, and walla!, she walks! She walks all stiff legged. Watch the video and see if you agree with me!

Isn't my little stinker cute?! (Oh, I was playing a game as well and had to speak with an Irish accent (not a very good one I might add) so that is why I sound wierd!)

Mommy's Little Maestro

Well, Sarah began playing all sorts of keys on the piano last night while I was cooking dinner in the kitchen. When I realized she was playing too broad of a range of keys at the same time for standing on the floor and plucking keys out with her tiny fingers it was then I realized she had climbed the chair and began playing and singing (although not in the same key -- all in due time). Check out the video, it is cute!

Sarah's First Haircut!

Sarah Marie had her very first haircut! She was so good too! I thought for sure she was going to melt down and cry the entire time, but nope, she was better handled than me! I think I was more apprehensive than she was! She went to Cookie Cutters, they specialize in little tike haircuts, and sat in a pink car, which she tried to drive, and watched Pocahontas. It was a really good experience. Not to mention, I learned a really cute way to do Sarah's hair!

Sarah also had her 1 year pics done a week or so ago. She is such a doll! I had to add this photo in. I love it! She just has this classic look about her, don't you think? Thanks Auntie Liz for another perfect photo of my babe!

Sarah is also learning how to walk, but isn't quite there yet. She is trying though! She is so tall that it is hard for her to walk. She shuffles, stands by herself, and can walk with you with one hand. but doesn't dare do it by herself right now. Here is a video of Nana trying to help Sarah learn how to walk. Oh, and Sarah growls when she is upset, mad, or frustrated (you'll hear it in the video). I suppose it is better than throwing a temper tantrum, right?! Thanks Nana!!

Sharing

Sarah has learned how to share her toys! It is really cute. She will have something in her hand, like a toy, and if you say 'Can I see that?' or 'Share with me' she will pass the item on to you! It is so adorable!

Sarah isn't walking yet, and I think this is a blessing in disguise. At least that is what her pediatrician said. But, Sarah is a little climber! Thanks to her Bumpa's genes that is. She climbs onto everything! From chairs, to couches, to on top of her arcade table toy!! She once even climbed out of her highchair at Bear Lake and onto the table! Yikes! I think I have an adventurer on my hands!

Sarah went and got her 12 month shots last week and the Doctor official told me she wasn't 'huge' just 'big'. He measure Sarah twice because she was so tall!! She measured at a whooping 32" placing her in the 99th percentile in height! He said she is looking at being 6 feet or taller when she is full grown! I guess I better start looking for a good swimming and volleyball couch now!

She weighed in at 22lbs 4 oz placing her in the 70th percentile for weight. Which why he said she wasn't huge, just big. He said her proportions are good, but doesn't want her height to get to ahead of her weight. But as everyone can attest to, Sarah is an eater! She eats more than me!! Then again, I am on a diet.

All in all, everything is going great with the Resch family right now. We are heading into the fall season and preparing for the fun holidays ahead of us. Sarah is going to introduce herself as Ariel for Halloween, and I'm following the theme and am going to be Ursela. Jordan, however, isn't gracing us with a costume this year--as usual.

What about you? What are your costumes for this year?
