Happy Birthday Sarah Kathleen!

Sarah Kate - you turned
1 year old today!



I know I say it all the time, but time is flying by so fast. It doesn't seem like a year has gone by since I was posting to say that you had arrived.



You are such a sweet, loving, happy baby, and a blessing to everyone around you.



You can bring a smile to my face even in the midst of tears.



I love you dearly and I thank God every day for allowing me to be your mother.











What are you up to these days?

• You are a speed crawler! You know where you want to go, and you get there fast.

• You love to eat! Your favorite foods are mashed potatoes, pizza, pancakes, macaroni and cheese, and (of course) chocolate.
  
  
• You also love to dance and sing! You sing and dance along to the radio and tv all the time and it is so fun to watch! I call you my tiny dancer.
  
  
• Your favorite person (besides Mommy) is your big brother. You want to be wherever he is and doing whatever he’s doing. Sometimes he plays too rough, but you give back as good as you get! Your Daddy and I love to watch the two of you play together.
  
  
• You are starting to be a talker! You imitate our words all the time, and even say some consistently, like dada, mama, all done, duck duck, and pretty.
  
  
• You wave hi and bye-bye, and this week you started pointing!
  
  
• Your favorite toys are your “babies” – Belle and Alice (in Wonderland) - and your books.
  
  
• You sleep with two blankets, Minnie Mouse, and your Cabbage Patch Doll.
  
  
• You love shoes, but you would rather look at them and play with them than actually wear them.

I am sure that you are doing many more important things that I am forgetting to write down right now, but you just woke up from your nap and are calling my name. I love you my sweet girl, and I hope that you have a very happy 1st birthday.

Love,
Mommy
