Sarah Kate--20 months

Sarah Kate has had a busy month.  She's cut a couple of teeth, taken care of her baby dolls, and learned lots of new words.  Her new favorite word is "wow!"  She also likes to imitate us saying, "oh my!"  She says Will's name very clearly as a two syllable word:  "Whee-ull!"  And she says "ff ff" for Christopher.  She's also saying hello, passy, coat, juice, etc., as well as several animal sounds.  She has put words together such as "silly baby Asher" (she says his name like "sigh") or "I wanna see" (when you take her picture).  She still loves books and will ask to have her favorites read over and over again.

Sarah Kate had a great time at Christmas!  We could have given her empty bags of tissue paper and she probably would have been perfectly content.  She would pull the tissue out and say "wow!"  Sometimes she would look in the bag and try to pull out the gift, and other times she'd just start putting the tissue paper back in.  She got a baby doll bed from Grandma and Grandpa, and it was pure instinct the moment she saw it, as if she knew it must be for her baby doll . . . she immediately picked up her doll and went and put her to bed!  It was so cute.
