Growing Sara... 9 months old and walking!

Sara is interested in everything everybody is doing. Nikolai is so patient with her helping him with his piano practice.
I found matching dresses that actually fit my two girls. MaryKate loves it... she's been wanting something that was exactly the same. They have a couple of outfits that are similar (like same pattern, different colors) but she was so excited to be dressed exactly like each other.
One of Sara's favorite pass times is running away as soon as her diaper is off. This is a multi-times a day occurrence. Also, this is how she usually stands up... by getting into a squatting position and standing straight up. Sara can climb up on our black couches herself if there is a pillow or toy on the ground in front of it. She stands up anywhere at all times and now rarely falls off the couch unintentionally.
This is one of my favorites of Sara's cutest traits... Leaning. She leans on everything and everyone instead of sitting down to rest.

Here is the coup de gras... Sara is walking everywhere. She can take 10-12 steps at a time and will stand up in the middle of the floor then walk to her desired destination. Amy's Zach was over playing this day (Friday) and I think he really inspired her to kick her walking up a notch. She's gotten faster and more sure of herself every day since.
