Sarah Sweetheart

"Sarah Sweetheart" has become our little name for our girl. I guess it's kind of like calling Jake, "Jake the Snake", except you know, edgier.

I love this little girl.
She is just so sweet.
She's pretty even-tempered and laid-back.
She loves attention and will try her best to smile and flirt to get you to talk to her.

She loves to be held outward so she can see what's going on.
She loves her hands... especially shoving them in her mouth as often as possible.
She adores her big brother and is always trying to watch him and what he's doing.
She loves to eat and is getting pretty good at the whole solids thing.

When she's sad she gives us fair warning by sticking her bottom lip out as far as humanly possible. Then come the real tears.
She's a great night-sleeper and has taken very well to her crib in the kids' room.

She startles easily.
She rolls over and is working on sitting.
She laughs and squeals and tries to talk to us.
She looks pretty in everything.
She hates bath-time.
She looks like her daddy.

I love her smile, her double-chin, her big eyes, her birth-marks, her chubby legs, her cleft chin, her dark hair, her Jakey nose... I love everything about her.

I always hoped for a little Sarah. I just can't believe she's really mine.
