The Walker

Sarah Kate hasn't quite figured out the walker so last night Griffin decided to show her how it's done. Next time maybe he can do it without running her into the cabinets and doors.

Family Walk

This is what our family walks look like these days ...

Checklist ...

• 1 Mom, very tired with bags under eyes
• 1 toddler, hair brushed is optional
• 1 baby, drool all over shirt
• 1 stroller, 1 wagon
• Toys, babies, footballs, blankets and night-nights
• 2 chubby dogs (not pictured)
• 1 Dad with drink in hand (not pictured)

No wonder it takes us an hour to get out the door!

SK is 8 months

Sarah Kate is 8 months old and crawling. She is officially on the go and loves having the freedom to move around. She is even trying to pull herself up in the crib. SK is so sweet and happy all of the time. Our little girl is growing so fast.

Griffin's Breakfast

Griffin has become a picky eater, which makes meal time so challenging. Especially in the morning as we are trying to get everyone fed and out the door to preschool. I figured it was time to get creative if he was going to eat anything ever again. Every morning I make him food that resembles animals, cars or different shapes. Now when he gets up in the morning he is excited about breakfast and asks, "Mama, what you make me."

Sweet Sarah

Sarah Kate is such a busy girl. She won't sit still for a minute. She constantly tries to crawl. She loves to play.

Here she is finger painting with yogurt. Messy, yes. But she loved it.

Determined to crawl 

And, eat everything in site

Lake weekend

A few weekends ago we headed to High Rock lake to visit with our family. Griffin and Sarah Kate love spending time with their cousins and getting lots of extra attention.

Fire trucks

Griffin loves fire trucks and has several of them at home. We were driving by the fire station and Griffin noticed the doors were open. We decided to take a detour and stop by the station. The firemen were so nice and let us walk around, see all the trucks and even jump inside to drive them. Griffin had a great time seeing the big, red trucks.
