The Little Pumpkin





Although my little Halloween pumpkin was born October 31st, we celebrated her birthday today. She is 1 year old. It is the duty of the grandparents to not forget the 1st birthday of every grandchild and this one is #3. We call her Sarah and when born she weighed in at 5 lbs. 7 oz. Now she is weighing about 15 pounds. She is a very tiny little thing.










That's me holding her. The look on Sarah's face is typical for her. Though such a tiny baby, she is always happy and giggly, curious and healthy. She will fuss like any baby, but that lasts only a minute or two and she's back to her smiley, happy self again. She can catch on quickly when she realized that Poppy's thumb could turn a ring that made her new phone sing and she didn't have the strength to. She would grab Poppy's thumb and put it on the ring. That is probably the only thing of concern with her. Her strength. She doesn't seem to be a very muscular baby and is still trying to gain balance. She will scoot around on her legs if there's someone who will willingly go with her. She still needs to hold on. But then, she is only 15 lbs. She'll probably be on her own by Christmas.

It was a nice party and a lot of fun. Baby Sarah is just a joy to have around.
