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.

SK is 7 months

Time is flying and my little baby isn't so little anymore, in fact, she weighs 17 lbs and is 7 months old.

Sarah Kate is so curious and always wants to see and experience more everyday. She is sitting up by herself which makes playtime a lot easier. She puts everything into her mouth and is drooling like crazy. I have a feeling it won't be much longer before we see teeth.

Feeding has also become more challenging. She loves eating, but insists on having something in her hand the entire time. This leads to big messes for mom and dad because she is always knocking over her food. She is quick too ... she will grab our food off the table and have it on the floor before we even know what happened.

Sarah Kate is so laid back and easy going. She loves bath time and splashing in the water. She is sleeping through the night so mom and dad are very happy about that. We love our little Sarah Bear.
