Update time!

It's been a little while since we updated, and I've realised that I haven't taken very many pictures these last couple of weeks. I thought I'd use this post to right some things down that I don't want to forget in Sarah's development. She's growing so fast, and as you'll see from the pictures, she's becoming less of a baby and more of a little girl!
Since the last post, Sarah decided to take three steps! She hadn't taken any before that, but around the 7th or 8th of October she took steps from Chris to me and then from me back to Chris. Since then, she's only taken a couple of steps here and there, but she's definitely better with standing and on the verge of walking. I think it probably won't be
before she turns one, though.
The other thing Sarah has started to do is bow her head when we say, "let's pray." The other night Chris started praying, and we both folded our hands and bowed our heads, and we couldn't believe it when Sarah then bowed her head and folded her hands with every finger perfectly linked together. After Chris had finished praying, we both looked at each other and said, "did you see that"? It brought such a huge smile to our faces and warmed our hearts :o).
Hope you all enjoy the pictures! Sorry there aren't more of them!

Sarah was helping Terry(Gwennan and Catrin's grandpa) try and fix the heating in the house.
They call him Taid(tide) which means Grandpa in Welsh.












She loves, loves, loves to play with Chris's mouse for his computer. Sometimes we disconnect it to let her play with it. She likes to come up to his computer and stand on her tip toes, move the mouse around, and watch the cursor move on the screen. One time when it was disconnected she brought it over to the laptop and tried to use it on the laptop (o:.
She's such a silly billy!

Northern Ireland


Well, here I am again, later than I wanted to be, updating our blog, but oh well! We were in Northern Ireland last week, so I guess that's my excuse. We had a great time with Jenni and Merv. Sarah and Beatrix were so cute together. It was so fun seeing them get all excited when they got up in the morning or from their naps and saw each other. They're still not quite at the age where they are best friends, but it will just take time. I think they were at the stage, this trip, where they were in constant competition over toys and took turns bullying each other :o). It's hard to teach 11 and 12 month olds to share! We have some really cute pictures of them together, thanks to Jenni's camera.






















These are some pictures from before and after we went to Northern Ireland.
Sorry they aren't in order!

Sarah pinched her finger in our washing machine door. It was her first ouie that she needed a band-aid for. She couldn't get used to having it on her finger, though. Poor baby!


New, big girl jammies!


We can't believe how grown-up she looks in these pictures!
Where does the time go...




Ta, ta for now!

Camping, Folly Farm, and More!


We're back again, with tons of pictures! Sorry it's been a little while.
Things just seem to be crazy busy here!

This is what we do with Sarah's silly jammies so she can crawl.







We went camping for one night a couple of weeks ago with our good friends,
Gerwyn, Ronda, Gwennan, and Catrin.
It was the first time we've been camping as a family, and it was really fun!



Then the next day we went to a place called Folly Farm with the kids. It's kind of like a zoo, but it has farm animals too. It also has little rides and stuff for the kids.



Catrin



We took turns carrying Sarah in the backpack.
By the time Gerwyn carried her, she fell asleep.




We just love this face! So thoughtful...
wonder what's going on in that little head.


As probably every baby, she's fascinated with plugs and power sockets.
She gets told "no" quite often, when it comes to these.

Sarah loves, loves, loves books!
She especially loves her book that sings the nursery rhymes.

Having her cheese stick!



Over-stimulation, perhaps?



Until next time.....
