Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Happy Holiday's to everyone! Sally's 9 month b-day has come and gone. She is as happy and as healthy as ever. She weighed in at 14 lbs 2 oz and 26 inches long. She is still just a little 1/2 pint and "barely on the charts" as the doc put it, but no need to be concerned. She can crawl really fast, she loves pulling up and holding on with one hand, she can wave bye bye, do "so big", patty cake, give loves, and dance ( I'm sure there are others I am forgetting). The other day she was looking at a book and pointing to all the little objects on the page and saying "blah tah tah" ....... that's what I do when we read books (however, I don't say blah tah tah :o)). Already at 9 months old she doing things she sees us do. She also does her chitter chatter and moves her hands while she is talking....surely I don't do that *grin*. It is so fun to see all the funny things she does.

Auntie Jill and Kelli, and mamaw and papa are all coming to our house for Christmas - we can't wait to see you!!

Below are some fun "holiday" pics. Gramma Carie sent this pretty dress for punkin (it is a 12 month dress and she is currently wearing 6 month clothes) it was a little big, but that made it even more fun, she was sooo pretty!! It is really hard to get her to sit still - she is constantly on the go.






Picking out some fun outfits from Hanna Anderson - I'm teaching her young!!

Helping with laundry, she loves being inside of baskets, sometimes I even push her around the house.

Thanksgiving

Finally, a post ....We had a great Thanksgiving with my folks and family. Sally and I went up early and spent the whole week, we had lots of fun with mamaw, papa, cousins, aunties and great grandparents too. Sally has perfected her crawling and is quite fast when she wants to go see Ruckus. She is also pulling up and learning what "no" means :o). Oh yes, and we finally got a tooth!! It seems like we watched it forever before it finally popped through. We are enjoying some winter weather and hope everyone is doing well.

**I just added a link over to the right that says "Video's of Sally". Once you see the video remember to click on the "more from user" tab to see recent video's.


The pretty table for Thanksgiving...


All of us - I think there were 14 of us total

Sally enjoying her sweet and mashed potatoes.
There was a water leak out in our street the other day so the city came and tore up the pavement, dug a huge hole and fixed it.....this kept Sally entertained for at least 30 min!! They can fix leaks in front of our house anytime. :o)

Uh oh....


Sally loves her cousin Maria.
