Life with Sarah...

Sarah, you are such a little girl these days rather than my snuggly baby.  Don't get me wrong, you still love to snuggle, hug, and be held.  Your favorite place right now seems to be Mommy and Daddy's bed.  You love to come to us when you first wake up and snuggle between us, under the covers, stick your thumb in your mouth and watch Dora.  You've become quite obsessed with Dora and Boots.  You never paid any attention to the television until about a month ago when you discovered Dora the Explorer ('Dora tha Explora' in Sarah lingo).
Speaking of Sarah lingo, I sure do love to hear you talk.  You can carry on a conversation about anything and every word is understood.  You are very articulate and use such fancy words for a 2 year old.  One of my favorite words to hear you say, is 'actually'.  You like to preface many phrases with this sophisticated word.  You love to talk but only around us.  You are very quiet in a crowd.
Your favorite person to hang out with is by far your big sister.  You love to take care of her and make her happy.  You are so thoughtful of her and never want to see her upset.  You do find it quite amusing to push her buttons occasionally by taking things from her but when you see her sad you will always give her whatever it is you think will make her happy.
You also adore your Hannah.  You love her so much you want to roll around on her, squeeze her, shower her with toys and 'stuff' and kiss her all over.  You are learning how to take care of her and you love to practice being a little mommy using her and all your baby dolls.
You always have a baby with you.  Most of the time you have a bottle and any other belongings your baby might need.  You feed your baby,  hug her, kiss her, bathe her, lay her down for naps and my most favorite thing to watch is when you read to your baby.  I love to read to my babies and I'm so happy to see you share this same love for books and babies.
You love cheese.  Your favorite breakfast is eggs and cheese or cheese grits.  Your favorite lunch is grilled cheese and your favorite dinner is mac-n-cheese or cheese quesadilla.  You love to snack on string cheese, cheese and crackers and Cheez-its.  No, I don't allow you to eat these cheesy favorites every day but you sure would love to!  You come by it honest.  I do love cheese!  Your favorite fruit is an orange.  You love broccoli.  You love boiled peanuts (gold peanuts as you would say) and cashews.  Your favorite drink is water!
You continue to be our shy, reserved and calm little one.  I admire this about you so much because these are traits I do not have.  In these ways, you are like your Daddy.  I love that you are soft-spoken and that you listen more than you speak when out of your comfort zone.  I love that you have a calm, peaceful nature. 
My most favorite thing about you, my dear, is your laughter.  You have such a cute little sense of humor and you love to joke and make us laugh.  Your laughter is such a joyful sound that melts all my cares and stresses away while bringing a smile to my face.  No matter what's going on, seeing you smile and hearing you laugh makes my day.  I love being your Mommy and I'm so thankful to have you as part of our family, Sarah Grace.
