Sarah's Words

It amazes me how much Sarah has grown in just the last couple of months. It seems like she is learning something new everyday and it is so neat to watch her experience the world. She is starting to talk more which is so much fun! So far she says (in order of most frequency):
UH OH-this one is common when she spills milk on the floor and then looks for a napkin to clean it up
HI KITTY- whenever we see the kitty...which is then followed by pulling their tails
ALL DONE- she gives us about 1 second notice of all done before she starts taking her bib off
THANK YOU- really sounds like dan du...but she really is quite polite
BALL- this one works for ball and bubbles..sounds like bu bul
CHEESE- newest word this week
BYE BYE- die die

Of course she says Dada when we hear the garage door opening in the evening and she sometimes says Mama when she is crying. Today she was organizing her hair bows and she all of a sudden looked up at me and said "dkajfe jdakf jeiojkvjj es fajeka j" With all this expression like we were having a conversation. I just said "oh ok" and then she went back to what she was doing. I can't wait for the day when I can acutally understand what she is saying! I know she has a lot to say :)

Future Rocker?

Or maybe a family band?

Big Sister!

Yep that's right! Sarah is going to be a big sister this October! I think she'll be great :) We'll keep you updated on new little Lands growth!

Going for a Sunday Stroll!

Spaghetti!

By far spaghetti is Sarah's favorite meal! Everytime we have it I think she eats more than me! She just shovels it in her mouth. In this video, she is showing us her fork skills...we still need a little work.


And here is a picture after we are done eating spaghetti! Notice how we don't wear a shirt on spaghetti night....

Nana's Visit

My mom, Nana, came to visit at the beginning of March and we had a great time. Sarah LOVED playing with her! Nana also tried to teach her where her eye was and was almost successful :) Thanks to her everytime she sees a person in a book she points to their eyes. I forgot to take pictures most of the time she was here but finally got some as she was leaving. As you can see Sarah was ready to go with Nana to Virginia Beach!

Annual Spring Spider Conference-CANCELLED!

Ok some of you know that I HATE spiders! I'm not talking about just a little oh they are annoying..no I despise them...they may be my worst enemy. Well apparently the combination of our house being built on what used to be corn fields, all the construction in the neighborhood and the "Welcome" sign on our front door means spiders will attack my house every March! When we first moved in two years ago they were mostly in the garage and tiny...but little did I know by the end of the summer they would grow to be the size of my hand and jump on me every chance they get. (Ok that may be a little exaggeration but thats how I felt) So I bombed the garage and pledged that next spring I would get them all. Well last year as soon as I saw the first one in the garage I bombed the garage again and they mostly did stay outside and it wasn't too too bad. Well apparently this year the annual spider convention is at my house because ever since it has gotten warm they have been popping up all over the place! Cam first noticed 10 outside on our front porch and several in the garage. No big deal I'll just bomb the garage again and it will be good....

Not so fast...today I have killed 13 spiders IN my house! They have mostly been small and by the sliding glass door and back windows but still...WHAT?? So the war is on...I am going to Lowe's today to buy some lethal spider spray to spray all along the house outside and I will bomb the garage again. I also just vaccumed every crevice in my house.

So as of now the Spider Death count is 13 but I will keep you posted!
