11 weeks old

We visited our family doctor 2 weeks ago for the girls' shots and a check-up. Interestingly, Sarah hasn't gained any weight since the last visit which was 3 months ago. Her height on the other hand is stunning. She's almost 3 feet tall. Even the doctor said - at 18 months - she looks like a 3-year-old. Christine weighed a healthy 11.5 lbs. She's growing so quickly. She already wears size 3-6 months clothes. She's able to hold her head up now, so Peter installed the Jolly Jumper for her last night. When we put her in it for the first time, she wasn't sure what to do, but after a little encouragement she really enjoyed it. I love seeing her smile, it's so cute and honest. She can't fully laugh yet, but she came very close to it in the jumper yesterday.Sarah is picking up new words by the day. About a week ago I handed her a bottle of milk and just out of the blue she said: Thank you! I was shocked and overwhelmed! I couldn't believe she was not only able to say those 2 words so clearly, but she new when to say them. I took a few moments to look back on the last year and a half of hard work, sleepless nights, thankless efforts, my sweat and tears and hours of teaching and explaining to get to this day and finally see the fruits of my hard labour, to hear her say: Thank you! It brought me to tears inside.
