Little Miss Sassafrass!

And so it's fall and our baby is 11 months old today...soon to be a toddler instead of an infant. She continues to amaze me every single day. She is so joyous, she smiles not only with her whole face, but her entire BEING. She is still not a crawler but instead she has a "scoot & slide" method for getting where she wants to go. (She just thinks crawling is Neanderthal.) I love to watch her play, because she is now figuring out her toys, instead of just banging or chewing she can now see that things turn and twist and tip...cause and effect stuff. She is fascinated with grass and trees and leaves and she loves her books...not so much the stories right now, but feeling the pages and turning them. Still not much of an eater except for mashed potatoes...the potato love comes from Mommy! She is very strong and feisty, I learned this recently when trying to get her liquid antibiotics down her throat! "Strong" and "feisty" will likely give me grief one day, but they are also good qualities at times to get through life. I could go on and on, but it really just boils down to the fact that she is the SUNSHINE in our life!!!
