Sarah fell onto a puzzle while we were opening presents so she has a nice mark on her chin.
I'm a little late doing Sarah's portraits this month but I did do them today and she's still only seven months old until next week. I tried a new spot today instead of dragging out the background paper this time. I wish I had done it in the morning instead of the afternoon though. Sarah's newest thing is that she is clapping her hands.
She's still army-crawling every where but she's getting faster. She is highly attracted to cords, curtains, tassles, tissues, teeny-tiny bits of lint, and anything posing a choking hazard or other contraband. Anna didn't have a long-lasting crawling stage so I'm curious to see how Sarah differs here. Sarah climbs up in her baby bathtub and Craig said she got to a standing position there. I guess we need to arrange some climbing areas in the apartment so she can practice pulling up.
I also keep forgetting to update on the Sleep Through the Night Campaign: Mission Accomplished! The first week she woke up and cried for 45 minutes to an hour and then had about four quiet nights and then had a few nights where she cried for 45 minutes again but she hasn't done that for over a week now. She's getting up a little earlier than she used to but I am so much better rested that this is fine. (She was getting up at 7:30 and now she gets up between 6-7.) I'm hopeful that as she gets older she'll sleep in a little later again but I don't really need her to now anyway since she naps at 9 regardless.
What a happy kid--I love those two front teeth.
My thoughts were the same as Adele's. She looks like the happiest kid...she beams! Adorable.
