SK is 6 months old

Sarah Kate is 6 months old. Looking back at what we went through to get to this point, I have no idea how we survived the first few weeks with two kids under two. But now SK is so easy going, a great sleeper, so curious and as sweet as can be.

New this month: beginning to sit on her own, eating baby food three times a day, drooling all the time, but no teeth yet and loves splashing in the water.

SK Rolls Over

Sarah Kate learned to roll over and she is so proud of herself. Now that she has figured it out she proudly shows off her new skill everyday.

SK's Christening

Sarah Kate's christening was Sunday and it was such a special day. All of our friends and family gathered and celebrated with SK. The church service was great and amazingly all the kids were very well behaved. We ended the celebration with a luncheon at the country club.

The Jungle

Sarah Kate has started to become interested in "the jungle". She sits in it for about 15-20 minutes a day and looks at all the animals. Even Griffin has rediscovered it and insists on sitting in it to be like his sissy.

  

Weekend at Wrightsville

At the last minute we decided to take a trip to the beach. We were eating dinner Friday night, talking about the weekend and how it would be fun to take a trip. So, by 8:00 we had everything packed, jumped in the car and headed to Wrightsville Beach for the weekend.

Griffin had such a great time and was so excited to be at the beach. We checked in the hotel at 11:00 and by 11:30 he talked Scott into going out by the ocean. I think it was almost 1:00 am before we all went to bed, but that's what vacation is all about. Of course, my kids don't like to sleep so just like always we were up by 7:00 ready to go the next day.

Saturday morning it took us almost two hours to actually get on the beach. By the time we set up a tent, made four trips from the hotel room to carry stuff down and put sunscreen on the kids, Scott and I were exhausted! Once we finally got set up, the fun began.

Griffin played on the beach all day. He loved playing in the big "sandbox", as he called it. Sarah Kate spent a little time out in the sand as well, but she isn't a fan yet. 

It was so fun to hang out together and we can't wait to plan our next vacation.

ABC's

Griffin loves school and learns so much everyday. Here is a video of him reciting his ABC's. We're so proud of him and can't wait to see what he learns next.

Tummy Time

Sarah Kate has been working on tummy time, but she is not a fan. More than 30 seconds on her tummy leads to lots of tears. Guess we will keep practicing so she can roll over before she's two.
