The Growing Sweets

Where has all the time gone? I swear it's going by at lighting speed. I remember bringing Sweets home from the hospital, and now she's standing up and trying to talk. Today, she took her first step. Yes my friends: Sweets is learning how to walk. Before you know it, she'll master walking, go to running, and never stop. She likes to say Da Da all the time and she's been saying "Ah Dah" (All Done) at the end of meals and bath. She's growing up!

Here's a picture of her in her pretty dress on Sunday:


And today we played with the cushions on the couch. I made her a little fort and she had fun knocking down the cushions, laughing when they fell on her.





I also have been tagged (thanks Danielle). Here are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next five sentences.
5. Tag five people.

This is from the book I finished today. It's One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

"So if you have orders to shoot, start right in." She pushed one fo them aside and went into the former classroom, where a group of half-dressed soldiers were oiling their weapons. An officer in a field uniform, ruddy-faced, with very thick glasses and ceremonious manners, signaled to the sentries to withdraw. "I am the mother of Colonel Aureliano Buendía," Úrsula repeated. "You must mean," the officer corrected her with a friendly smile, "that you are the mother of Mister Aureliano Buendía."

A great book, but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. It's definitely not for the faint at heart. (Erin, you'd LOVE this book, if you haven't read it already. You too Melba.) So, here are the five I tag:

1. Erin
2. Heather
3. Hubby
4. Melba
5. Anyone who wants to.

I'm not too big on the blog network, so I don't know many people out here. I really only know those four who haven't been tagged yet. Sad, I know.
