Look Who's Walking!

First Playhouse and Rocking Chair

Grammy sent Sarah a new rocking chair. Dad made a little tunnel out of the big box it came in. :)

Baby Steps

It's fun watching Sarah slowly but surely work toward walking on her own. First, she lifted her head and then rolled over on her own. Next, she pulled up and started crawling, "Army" crawl at first then four-legged crawling, which she still does mostly today. But she has "cruised" around furniture and even along walls with more and more confidence. Plus, just today she seemed to take joy out of standing on her own for a few seconds before plopping to the ground.

She'll get there soon. This process is the same with her eating, talking, and other firsts. I'm glad I have been able to witness her growth.

Learning to Fall

Boobah

Sarah and I caught this children's program the other day. Most adults consider it creepy; I guess toddlers like the colors, shapes, and music. :)

Happy Fourth!

Bushel and a Peck

Sarah's grammy sings this song to her:

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck
A hug around the neck and a barrel and a heap
A barrel and a heap and I'm talkin' in my sleep
About you, about you
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your purdy neck I do

A doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck though you make my heart a wreck
Make my heart a wreck and you make my life a mess
Make my life a mess, yes a mess of happiness
About you, about you
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your purdy neck I do

A doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo

I love you a bushel and a peck
A bushel and a peck and it beats me all to heck
It beats me all to heck, how I'll ever tend the farm
Ever tend the farm when I wanna keep my arm
About you, about you
'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck
You bet your purdy neck I do

A doodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-oodle-ooh-doo
A-doodle-oodle-ooh-doo-doo


If you're wondering it's from the musical Guys and Dolls and written in 1950.
