11 months... oh dear.

Yes, it has been 11 months since Sara was born... and we are even starting to plan out what we are going to do for that big day... when she turns one! But until then, we can have some fun like we did this weekend... The weather was decent, though not as nice in DC the previous week. Still, we got out and did some stuff... in fact, we took Sara to the playground and she got to go on a swing for the first time... Do you think she liked it?



We also spent some time on her other favorite playground attraction... the slide. Here she is at the top...



and the bottom....



Other than that we basically played around and did work around the house for the most part. I finally got around to working on some painting that I started back on the first day of school in August... which is appropriate I guess, since today was the last day of classes for the Spring semester... and I even mowed the lawn for the first time. But basically there was sufficient time for reading books to Sara and playing with blocks and other toys.... and of course, that other favorite activity... eating Cheerios..



The Cheerios are an important part of the day, in large part because Sara is in serious teething mode again... it looks like she has a couple more teeth coming in on the bottom, still none on the top though.

Danette and I were talking earlier this evening about how tall Sara has gotten (she is standing on her own a lot, and cruising around the furniture too... walking must be getting closer) and also that a year ago we were planning for an imminent arrival of a baby... hard to believe that she is turning 1 so soon... very crazy. And soon our friends Nate and Claire and Gretchen and Phil will soon be know what we mean... what a cool, crazy world it is.
