Photo update..

on Walgreens for those of you on there.

One year ago...

Today....and one year ago today.

16 months

This week I will work on:
1) posting some pictures for you and
2) updating all photo sites

We headed to the dr. last week because we had a very un-sassy like day and did not want to eat....just wanted to throw food and pitch a fit. One check up later one ear was infected.....problem solved and Sassy got grape tongue depressors as a departing gift.
Grandparents have been here the past 2 weekends so Sassy has been kept quite busy giving kisses and what not!
She can say What's that, Who's that, hi kitty, hi puppy, Whee (when mommy drives daddy's car :)),
getcha-getcha-getcha, pees, and Baa (bath), and E-I-E-I (no "o").
She can open her door, and help Sadie out of her kennel.

15 month check up!

Emma's info:

34 1/2 inches tall (above 99%)
27.10 lbs (above 96%)

Can say:
Mama, Dada, Pupee, Whatzat, Hi, pees, uh-oh, woof-woof

Likes: Cheese!, candy corn, mook, mac and chee, veggies, fruits, yougurt, cheese biscuits, books, going bye-bye, ballons

Dislikes: Scarecrows, scary dolls that open their eyes, dressing from waldorf salad, sometimes cabbage, and mommy not giving her candy corn or cheese biscuits

Can climb stairs and likes to open doors. Has recently taken up eating mud and sand.

How Precious

Nope, it's not her Halloween costume. She was modeling it for the daycare lady so she could sell it on craigslist. So cute!

I have a busy girl...

Went to my first football game! The boys won!
I met my cousin Thea. (it was hard to get a non-fuzzy picture of 2 one-year-olds) I also traveled to Texas and got to jet-ski and hang out with my Texas family.

Attitude......

I haz it.....I also need to learn to use another finger when mommy does my hair like this.

Let. Me. In.

She wasn't allowed to go in this time, but hopefully this weekend she will get her fair share of some lake time.

You should see the other guy!

This was after a fight with a love seat and a coffee table.

New Things....

or not new for some of you.
Emma can now:
walk, albeit it's a bit like after a night out.
waves (the princess wave from Princess Diaries)
remembers the other little 1 year old at daycare and gives her kisses!
Can say puppy, dada, mama, kitty, and a few other words.
likes Lima beans...in fact she will pretty much devour any food...
Favorite foods for the moment: mook, peach yougurt, CHEESE, goldfish crackers, fresh tomatoes, and any fruit

Some random Sassy-ness for your day!

Emma at the hydrant party at the end of July... the other babies are a bit younger than Sassy, one is a neighbor (baby Nora 2 months and her cousin Claire 8 months at the time)
Sassy had a GREAT time in the water and was not scared at all!

Sassy's first Chinese food.

We opted for some take out from Hy-Vee because feeding Emma at any place other than home is a full time job....as in you don't get to eat! She had some lo mein, chicken and mushroom, and some teriyaki chicken (which I think may be Japanese). So far there is not much she won't eat. She also had her very first Toll House Cookie that daddy made. She eats regular people food and LOVES her mook and cheese!

Walking.....

I like to "help" Mommy!

My Mimi's coming?

She is? When will she be here?

I say goodbye......I say hello!

Goodbye to my lovely Canon camera.....you were a good friend.









And hello to my new appendage extension....my sassy Sony!

Emma's Jesus Moment

Thank you God for making this delicious corn on the cob and having mommy give it to me! AMEN!

Grampa steals Sassy's Food

I have learned that
1) Young babies/infants do not understand the concept of sharing yet. (Duh! Grampa)
2)Sassy will emit a ear-piercing scream if you try to take away her bottle or crackers/"cheerios".
3)because Grampa Griffiths tried yesterday to steal Sassy's food, today at lunch as soon as I gave her the cheesy duck crackers she immediately covered them all with her hands...looked around, and started to shove those puppies into her mouth as quickly as possible.

Poor Sassy

Busy, Busy, Busy

Hello!

The past few weeks has been busy!

I see that the birthday poll is at a tie...I guess the theme will be a surprise until her birthday then! It will be one of those listed though.
Emma and I have been garage sale-ing(some lady told me Emma looked like a infant in a 2 year old's body), played in her new little pool, went to the eye doctor to clear up her eye and played with some of her new toys.
Yesterday we practiced using a fork with our lunch and worked on our walking skills. As per daddy's request, a video from yesterday!


This was her 3rd time through...the first time she went even farther!

Also a few cheezy photos for you to enjoy:

Emma and her new Tutu!

It's a Sassy Summer so far

Sassy got some great finds from garage sales this weekend! Here are some pictures of her haul.

More dancing......

A year ago...

I was looking at the this blog and exactly a year ago was sassy's shower. It was a awesome baby shower, the best I've been to. I had said I would put up pictures from that day and I noted today that I never got any from some of the people that attened. So a year later..sorry, I still to this day have no photos.

I feel pretty...oh so pretty.

Those are some skills!

Shake your booty...

Sassy at Miss Lisa's

Playing with Gracie and Ryan.

School's out for Summer!!!

Yes, I know you are all (all 5 of you or so) are waiting for new and fabulous pictures of Sassy. I can assure you that there will be some very soon.
The hungry little girl ate 2 jars of cereal/fruit this morning with her usual handful of organic "cheerios". You should see her little eyes light up when that box comes out of the cabinet and I shake it...Pavlov's dog move over!
We then play...today it was what happens when you tip your sippy cup upside down...you get some wet drawers! We read some books (her FAVORITE is Peek a Who....must be finding me some more by that author for her) and then she plunked down with her wooby for a nap. We may hit up Costco today....we'll see. I did a lot of golfing yesterday and parred a hole with a "Happy Gilmore" off the tee box, followed by a "Sammy Sosa/Babe Ruth on the fareway. It was awesome.
Get ready for some pictures this week!!

She's home....

and she only quit "talking" when she went down for her afternoon nap. Apparently she thought that she needed to tell me everything that happened at Grama's house and it was a long colorful story indeed.

Such a Deal!!!!!!!!!!

Sassy got a playhouse today. I was heading home from Costco when I saw a lady a block and a half away from our house put a cardboard sign by this on her curb. I (being genetically predisposed for this) turn around and checked it out. It was for sale so I asked how much....35 dollars later it was delivered to our driveway!!! I know she can't use it just yet, but how could one turn this sort of a deal down. Now she has a small potting shed and this playhouse. Hmmm, maybe she needs a whole "neighborhood" in the back yard. ;)

Two Teeth!!!...and 2 long days ahead

They have left. Ben and Sassy are heading over for 2 long days ahead to help my dad/grammpa with his shoulder surgery in the am(It sure must stink gettin old). They(the 2 younger ones) will be back Saturday or Sunday....leaving me with some free time! Sassy is up to 2 teeth now, the bottom ones. Maybe her and grammpa can gum on some soft foods together! :)

Happy 10 months and......

Happy first tooth!!!!!!

Thank you Miss Lisa!

She took a few other cute ones...but those may be presents later!

Happy Mother's Day!
