Wild Horses

Sarah Amelia is 3!!!!!  Wow – it seems like yesterday that she was a baby!  How did time go so quickly!   Bryan and I are convinced that she went from being a baby to a pre-schooler overnight! Her birthday was on a weekday, so we had some cake and treats after everyone had dinner. Even…

Just Be Close At Hand

Recently, I have been VERY melancholy about Sarah’s babyhood/childhood. It seems like just yesterday that we were welcoming Sarah Amelia into the world! It seems almost impossible that Sarah is 2!  Maybe it’s because I am pregnant again?  It’s hard to say.  I wish that a sage person had warned me about how much faster…

Lord It’s Hard to Be Humble

“Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way” is the line from an old country music song, and it kind of sums up how I view Sarah Amelia.  I know this may seem snobby and incredibly unfair to Rachel, but my youngest is just perfect.  In Sarah Amelia’s case, being…

I’m Walking …

“I’m walking, yes indeed.”  Little Sarah has been walking for about 2 months, but it has taken about that long to get video of her actually walking! My daughters are pretty consistent – Rachel started walking around 13 months and so did Sarah. For clarification, steps need to be taken independently to be classified as…

Happy

I thought that I would share some adorable video of Sarah.  Last week Sarah was in the best mood!  It seemed like she was just one little roll-polly of joy! I know that’s very bragy-bragy but it’s true 🙂 This video was recorded on a Saturday, and it might have been the first or second…

You Say It’s Your Birthday?!?!

On February 21, 2014 I was stressed.  I had lots of things that needed to be done at work, my yard looked like a hot mess and the plants that I had bought a week prior still weren’t planted (see my “Welcome to the Jungle” post), Girl Scout cookies needed to be delivered (and still…

Push it!

I must say that 2013 was a good year for our household.  With the start of the New Year came a lot of anticipation for the new arrival that was soon to join us!  We rang in the New Year with some of our terrific friends (and neighbors). Rachel got to play with sparklers and…

Cruising

 She is so excited when she cruises around (walks around while holding on to things).  I think that Sarah Amelia is really gearing up to walk on her own.  She certainly can get around the house quickly when she is crawling!  We finally broke down and bought new baby gates, because Sarah frequently escapes from her…

Crawling

Sarah Amelia is doing some really cool stuff.  I have been intending on posting this for a while but never had the opportunity to actually capture it on video! She has been sitting pretty well for a little while.  That has advanced to going from tummy to sitting up, and now scooting a little! On…

Pictures of you

It has been a long time since I have posted a “Sarah Amelia” centric blog.  I must remedy that!  We have taken so many pictures, and I have been trying to figure out how to put them together.  Well, I will be 80 before I ever think of anything clever, so I am just going…
