First Big Trip
Well, Sarah had her first family vacation this past week, and, boy, did she have a big time. We went to Sonoma County, California, which is about an hour north of San Fransisco, an area full of vineyards and redwoods not too far from the rocky coast.
Sarah loved playing outside on the trip. She soon learned to grab her shoes in the morning and present them to the nearest adult. Sarah also enjoyed her first visit to the ocean, putting her feet in the cold waters (and even getting hit by a wave!).
Unfortunately, our baby seat we brought to hold her in the airplane wasn't FAA approved (little did we know about that), so we were stuck with a wiggly baby on the 3+ hour flights to SF and back. Daddy isn't the best when it comes to being around lots of people in closed confines, and add a baby making us the center of attention meant a stressed-out pop. Needless to say, next trip, we'll have the right seat and a portable DVD player in which to strap her in and veg her out!
Overall, though, Sarah was a good little girl. If she has activities and room to roam, there's no problem (well, unless it's close to nap or bed time). I'm proud of her on her first big trip.

Update
Well, in the past few days, Sarah has shown she can go from sit/crawl to stand without any support. Before she would crawl to a wall or something and pull herself up.- On the eating front, she likes cheese, chicken, yogurt, bread, "fishies", but she will eat about anything.
- No recognizable words, other than dada, coming from her mouth, though she does seem to talk in complete sentences at times. :)
- Sleeping, Sarah goes down about 8 p.m. and gets up from 6-7 a.m., taking a 2-3 hour nap late morning/early afternoon.
- She likes watching PBS Kids in the morning and her Baby Einstein videos (yes, she gets more language development from interacting with "live" people) late in the afternoon before dinner. We go for a walk with her "bro bros" in the afternoon and get some social time 2-3 days/week at Gymboree.
- Sarah is petite but healthy. She is happy and likes to have fun. And she sure has the curls in back! :)
