Girl, Put Your Records On, Tell Me Your Favourite Song, You Go Ahead, Let Your Hair Down

Today was a good day. I took the afternoon off and went for lunch with a couple of girlfriends. With the 3 of us being new-ish moms (including one who is expecting #2 in the coming weeks), the conversation was inevitably centered around babies and life as a mom. It is nice to know that we all have similar challenges and I am not alone in thinking that this gig is not as easy as it may seem to some!

Anyhow, we did a little shopping after lunch to find more cool things for our little ones. As usual, I did not disappoint and returned with a few items including a new bath toy for Sarah, who is now using the full big-girl tub (yay!). Thanks Mal for finding us those neat placemats too - another thing to add to the diaper-bag but I can't wait to use it the next time we are out.

Of course, all good things must come to an end and so it was with my time away from mommy duty. No regrets, however - as I was pulling into the driveway, Daddy was just getting little Sarah up from her nap so I got to surprise her.

That's our girl! In addition to waving "hi", Sarah also knows how to go "yay" (2 arms up) and knows where her foot, Pooh Bear and truck are by either grabbing the item or looking at it or in the general direction when we ask. She is also starting to 'dance' when she hears a favourite song. Learning is tough - no wonder she is so beat by the end of the day!
