Happy Birthday!

Our little pumpkin is turning one today and I can't believe it! Here are some milestones from the past year: Sarah was born October 30, 2006 at 3:47 AM. She weighed 6 lbs 6 oz and was 19 inches long. She was three weeks early and had a hard time eating so three days after her birth we took her home and she weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. She was a surprise to us, meaning we didn't know if she would be a boy or a girl. So it was really exciting when the doctor said, "You have a girl!"

At her two week appointment she was 20 inches and weighed 6 lbs 4 oz. At her two month check up she weighed 10 lbs 6 oz and was 22 inches long. On January 26, a day before she turned 3 months old, she rolled over for the first time, and Mom and Dad missed it! A days eariler we were worring because Sarah started having seizures, so it was great to see that developmentally she was on schedule. On January 31st she had an EEG and everything came back normal and since then she hasn't had a seizure, we are so thankful!

At four months Sarah weighed 12 lbs 6 oz and was 25 inches long. She giggled on March 1st! She probably would have been crawling by her 6 month appointment, but we were in the middle of a move, so whenever she looked like she would crawl I picked her up, I didn't want her in all the boxes just yet! So she started to crawl in the middle of May instead. At 6 months she weighed 13 lbs and was 25 inches long, that is right she didn't get any longer between four months and six, I think that that is a little weird, but who knows!

She waved at 8 months and said da da and ma ma by her nine month check-up. Now she says cracker, duck, thank-you, and bye bye. She can do the sign for food and milk. At nine months our little one was 16 lbs and 27 inches. Today we will find out how much she has grown. It really is so amazing how much changes in the first year, I can't even believe that last year she was just so little. But we are very thankful for our Sarah girl and for the love that she gives to us and for the love that we feel for her. Happy Birthday Little One!
