New home in texas...

We have finally gotten settled in here in texas. we found this really nice house 3bed/2 bath with a huge backyard. It definitely is a little nicer than our lawton house so it will be our home until january or march depending on when keith deploys.

Graduation from Captain's Career Course!

Well keith finally finished his captain career's course. We couldn't be happier. Especially keith who has been in school for over two years now. Plus its nice leave lawton, ok. Sarai was on her best behavior the whole time, she did not cry once or throw a tantrum. She even let one of the moms hold her while i went down to the stage to take pics.

Bathtime with Sarai...

Sarai finally outgrew her frog tub and we went from baths in the kitchen sink to the bathroom tub. It was a difficult transition for both of us. She was terrified of taking a bath in the bathroom the first few days, she cried the whole time. For me washing her in the frog tub was easier than washing her in the duck bathtub so it took me a while to get used to it. I love the tub it fits her exactly. Unfortunately i could not get the tub to let out all its air before the move so i had to put the little ducky away. Hopefully i will find a replacement soon. Anyway i took a pic of her in the tub and it was the very FIRST time sarai saw the camera and smiled. I was so amazed. I also tried to give her a little mohawk which did not go to well since she has curly hair and it would not stick out straight.

Sarai's infamous bubbles...

Sarai started blowing bubbles a few months back. It is one of the cutest things i have ever seen. Yet, it also comes with disadvantages. One is it makes a lot of noise so when you are trying to watch tv or talk it is almost impossible to hear anything. Two, (this one really bothers keith) there is a huge spray factor. Sarai can get lots of distance when she blows bubbles i dont think she is aware of the spray factor but it definitely goes hand and hand with the bubbles. We usually have to turn her away in a different direction.

Sarai smiling...

I have found out i am one of those moms who will do anything to make their child smile. So of course i have to do goofy face, goofy smiles and practically stand on my head just to get a glimpse of her beautiful smile. Sometimes keith looks at me like i have gone crazy. But its a lot of fun. On this video i attempt to get a smile out of sarai with the help of some weird sounds. I am lucky i got anything because i set up the camera in front of sarai and usually she completely freezes up.

Dont touch Sarai's feet!!!

From day one sarai's feet has always stood out. When we had our first ultrasound at 2 and a half months that was the first thing we noticed her feet were well developed and noticeable. When she was born her feet were HUGE in comparison to her body (her hands were pretty big too). Then we noticed that whether it was freezing cold or steamy hot sarai always had sweaty feet. We have also noticed that she absolutely HATES to have her feet touch. Whenever keith and i attempt to touch her toes, or try to rub her feet or put on shoes she tries to kick your hand away. We joke around that she may have insecurities because of the sweatiness (of course that is not the case). But it is quite funny to watch her throw a fit when you touch her feet.

Rare footage of sarai talking..

Sarai has become QUITE the talker in the last month. She talks alllllll day long. In fact she talks really loud when keith and i are talking to each other and not focusing on her. It is as if she thinks that our focus should be on her all the time and not on each other. The problem is Sarai is quite camera shy. Whenever we try to catch her talking or doing other things on camera she freezes the moment she sees the camera. I finally got some footage of her talking. It is not the best angle you can not get a perfect view of her but you can see and hear her talking a little bit.
