no more growing up...please

I had never considered myself a baby person. I never made cooing noises and went all nuts about another person's spawn. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, I would tell Jimbo that I wanted one but I wanted it to show up about 1 1/2-2 years old. Well, this is me eating crow, I was wrong and now I am sick because my little bean is growing out of baby clothes and into toddler sizes and every time I look at the tags I get a lump in my throat. It is all happening too fast and in the words of Aerosmith, I don't wanna miss a thing!

So, here are a few shots of my baby...before she became a toddler.

nap time

this girl loves this cat

We want to go out side and play....

why is it raining, why?

Sarah: I am so upset about the rain Buster, hold me

Buster: I told you to stop messing with me kid

Sarah: I was just trying to give you a hug, sheesh!

Sarah's first piggy-tails!

Watchin' the Olympics with Grandpa Larsen...Thanks for a fun visit!

Water Baby

She didn't get that from me that's for sure.

My little bean loves to be splashing in the water, she loves the tub, the sink, the sprinklers and most of all the pool. I am lucky enough to have wonderful friends that have let us 'borrow' their pools to stay cool in the hot Texas sun.

Of all of the qualities Sarah could inherit from Jimbo I am elated that she has his love of water. If Jimbo is a fish I am the exact opposite, i possess the grace and talents equal to a beached whale! I try to be brave when I am in the water with Sarah because I don't want her sense my fears, but the truth is I am uncomfortable. I could go on about this somewhat irrational fear but I want to get to the photos of my little Nemo and her papa fish.

see what I telling you...10 month old fish!

Sarah can wave now but only for me and sometimes dad so I
don't blame you if you don't believe me!

yep, this makes me nervous too but that's what dad's do, well at least that's what Jimbo does!

i love that her cheeks look like they are full of water but nope, that's all Sarah!

contrary to what it looks like this is indeed a happy face accompanied by lots of giggles


and of course Sarah and her infamous tongue!
