Sarah has made great strides since we got back home. She was very clingy early in the week, with all the changes of a new house and all, but now she has really started to blossom again. She is walking around on her own upstairs today in her squeaky shoes and actually spent time in her playpen without screaming. As I write this, she was just put down for her nap and I’m listening through the baby monitor as she talks to herself. Yes, she really is blooming!

As you can see from last night’s dinner, she is also quite a character and loves to make faces at anyone who will watch. She is getting very good at telling people what she wants, although she is only using a few words so far. She loves to splash in the bath (far from the crying she used to do). Her beautiful personality is really beginning to come out. We are so blessed to be her family.
