The Sass Family: First Christmas & 11 months!

This Christmas was one of our favorites yet! We were able to experience this glorious holiday through the eyes of a 10 month old, and watch as the lights twinkled in her eyes. It was heart-warming having her around during the difficult challenges we were/are facing. Surprisingly she was actually helpful in opening gifts, and loved ripping the wrapping paper off the presents long before Christmas. She also learned to master pulling herself up to stand, and cruising along the furniture. Over this past week (couple of weeks shy of her 1st birthday) she has started taken steps on her own, and becoming more courageous everyday. She isn't far from total independence with walking! We are loving spending every day with her, and find it unbelievable that she will be 1 in a few weeks. Where did our baby go? Although our little, bitty baby is growing she is becoming an adorable, interactive toddler. She is so much fun to be around, and shows off her new skills and smiles every day!
