Sarah is 17 months old!

Sarah is now 17 months old! She is growing so fast. She loves her little brother Malachi and tries to love on him as often as she can. She can be rough though so lots of people try to protect Malachi from her. I have been impressed with her sweet spirit as she has just accepted him and adores him.  She has started throwing some tantrums now though. If she thinks she isn't getting her way,  she lays down quietly and carefully and then when some looks, starts screaming and kicking. It is so hard not to laugh.  She still just says Mama and go. But I think she is close to being able to say dada and maybe even bubba.  She gets her point across with her happy sounds or upset cries so she doesn't feel much need to use words. All my kids were late talkers, starting to really talk around age 2 or older. She is starting to run much more frequently and has started walking backwards just for kicks apparently.  She loves to play outside, especially in the dirt or mud.  She likes to carry our shoes around adding another dimension to the I can't find my shoes! issues that we already have. But she doesn't like to wear her own shoes and socks. She is also very diligent to pull off any socks that we put on Malachi.
