First Real Puzzle

Sara (with some help from Jon) put her first puzzle together. She loved doing it, and we had to leave it put together for at least a week afterward :)

Sara's New Accomplishments

5/20 - Wrote name for first time on own 5/22 - Counted to 100 At dinner, she said, "MMMM, Thank you. This is delicious." Big step :)

Blue Tongue

We went to the Dairy Barn the other day and Sara had Superman ice cream - her favorite. One of the best things about Superman ice cream is that her tongue turns blue. When we got home she ran into the living room and I asked her what she was doing. She had gotten the camera (that I forgot to put away), turned it on and taken a picture of her blue tongue. She wanted to remember her blue tongue :)

Sara's Trips

Sara loves to pretend she is taking a trip. Sometimes she travels by boat and sometimes by train. Now, Jonas joins her for some adventures. It's fun to watch her explore and pretend.

Jonas, 11 months old

Here is Jonas at 11 months. 10 months in review: 1) He learned to wave. A lady on the airplane on the way back from FL helped him figure it out :) 2) He learned to give high fives. 3) He learned the signs for ball and bird. He also signs "more" a lot. 4) He has decided he does not really care for baby food, but would much rather eat whatever we are eating. 5) He has the army crawl down.

Easter 09

Sara was able to do 3 Easter Egg Hunts. Nine took us to one at the Ann Arbor Vineyard, there was one at our house, and one at Nine and Baba's house. Sara is quite the expert at finding eggs now :) I have to say she did a great job, especially with 4 aunts and uncles hiding them for her. This year Sara seemed to be getting a better understanding of what Easter is really about. She had lots of questions about Jesus dying and then being alive again and where he is now. It is a good growing experience to explain my faith to her. Jon and Sara also dyed Easter eggs. Jonas was just along for all the fun and seemed to enjoy watching everyone.
