Sarah is getting four new teeth right now. I guess I'd be a little crabbier, too!
I have been taking rotten notes while we are on vacation but I think I can remember a few things my dear little Sarah has been up to lately.
She has been nodding and shaking her head for a while now but I can ask a relatively elaborate yes/no question and get a definitive response from her (if she cares). She follows multi-step instructions well (again, if she wants!). Sarah is also holding my hand better (we walked down to my parents' mailbox today and held hands the whole way and she was very good about listening to me when I told her to stay on the sidewalk or leave the rocks in the yards.
Sarah shreiks "nooooooo!" when she doesn't get her way or if she is fighting over a toy with Anna (because, of course, they both always want what the other has and this is happening with greater frequency). Anna has taken to calling Sarah "Little Honey" which is really cute.
Sarah gets super excited any time an airplane flies overhead (this happens a lot at Grandma & Grandpa's house!) and she has great interest in owls, trains, motorcycles, and pretty much any animal. She also enjoys doing video chat with Craig, Dr. Lee, & Chopstick (and Neko, the cat we're pet sitting).
She is having a great time playing with all of her "big kid" cousins and is doing her best to keep up with them!
New signed words: book, horse
New spoken words: hotdog, dog, hello, hi, uh-oh ... and I think there is more but she is also starting to make sounds that sound like exact repeats of words
