(Picture actually taken at Sabine's birthday, in her new ball pit, a present from Aunt Dani.)
We went out to celebrate last weekend, and here's the only picture I have for now:
But you'll have to trust me that we had a lovely time, and Sabine even behaved reasonably well for how long we were at the restaurant.
Recently, we've really enjoyed watching Sabine's language develop. She now says "up" and "dada" in context, and makes the sign for "dog." She also does a jig on command, it's kind of a cute, one-footed stomping. It's seems to get used both for dancing and for expressing impatience. She also broke it out in the bathtub last night, and was delighted at the incredible SPLASH she made. (Mom may have been slightly less delighted.)
Sabine is getting more physically confident every day, too. She's been walking around on her tip-toes for weeks. She tried the teeter-totter with her friend B this week, and tried desperately to follow him around the playground. Fortunately, B is a very good friend, and when snack time came around, he generously shared his goldfish crackers with Sabine while she incessantly kept signing "MORE MORE MORE" at him. She seems to be more adventurous with climbing on things, too. Daddy also showed Sabine how to jump today. Mostly it was bending her knees and throwing her arms in the air, but it was a good start.
She still prefers when daddy helps her jump, though. That usually elicits the most squeals of delight. (And starting with walking on daddy's feet is never a bad thing.)
