Crawling!

Here it is... Sara crawling! She started a few, sort of mini crawling steps about a week ago, over the weekend she started putting it together a little, and then in the last day she put it all together and has crawled from one side of the living room to the other. Here is some video (sorry, it is a little dark in our living room)



In other news since the last post... Sara is trying to stand up on her own, without pulling up, but that too (no success yet). She is a solid eater, and loves to feed herself and is getting better at it... she is even taking the spoon and trying to guide it to her mouth when we give her soy yogurt or baby-food peaches.

Sara also had her 9 month check-up today... still tracking in the 95th percentile... 22 lbs 14 oz and 29.5 inches long... that's 8.25 inches in 9 months...


This past weekend we had some visitors here, Rew and D'Arcy came for a visit and to see Sara.... we basically just hung out, though we were having some pictures of Sara re-taken due to some technical difficulties with some pics taken at 6 months... So Sara had several people to make faces at her and for her to laugh at during the pictures. Sara was far more smiley this time, so we are really looking forward to seeing the pictures. Sara also had fun crawling and bouncing all over her new friends (okay, and kicking Rew under the table...)


This week, Grandma H. comes for a couple of day visit while she is over on this side of the Great Lakes seeing my Grandma.... Sara has the day off on Friday from daycare, so the timing works great and they will have some good quality time to hang out. (speaking of day care, in a couple of weeks Sara moves up to the next room at daycare and starts hanging out full-time with the bigger kids).

Next week is my usual week in Houston for a conference... so that will be the longest that either of us have been away from Sara... but Sara and Mom will have some good fun, and then a little later in the week, Grandma D. has some time off, so she is going to come visit while I am gone.... needless to say, Sara is going to have big-fun in March.
