Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween 2012. Griffin as Thomas the Train and Sarah Kate as Ladybug.

We kicked off Halloween with a party at Griffin's school. Then headed out for trick or treating. Griffin and SK both got lots of candy and have tried their best to eat the entire basket tonight.

Halloween

We've been busy preparing for Halloween. We made a trip to the pumpkin patch, made Halloween cookies, carved pumpkins and made spider suckers for Griffin's preschool class party. We can't wait until tomorrow to dress up and go trick or treating!

SK is 9 months

Sarah Kate you are 9 months old. You did great at your check up and weigh 18lbs, 4ozs (50%) and are 27.75 in tall (50%). You are very active and on the go all the time. You are crawling. You are pulling yourself up and moving along the couch and table. You will find anything and put it in your mouth.  Even though you only have two bottom teeth, you love eating the same food as mom and dad and won't eat baby food anymore. You get so excited at dinner time and squeal when you see your plate. You're also learning how to drink out of a sippy cup, but still prefer the bottle. You are a sweet girl and we love you so much.

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."
