Bathtime

 Seriously - have you ever seen such a cute baby?!?!?!  Sarah has had a fever for the past couple of days (she is better now - thank goodness) but she would get pretty cold after her bath, and I would wrap her up in her towel.   She just looks so cute!!
 Now that Sarah can sit in her bath tube, she can have a bath with Kellen.  It is great to have both kids in the bath at the same time (and they love to play together in the bath).   Ahh, my babies!

Solids

 Sarah is kinda obsessed with food.  Honestly, you cannot eat anything in front of her, without her watching with the most hungry stare!  She has started eating solids a couple of weeks ago - she can eat toast, muffins, croissants (all cut into tiny pieces), and she eats her cheerios and puffs - she would eat steak and pizza if you left it unattended!



A Baby's Life

 Sarah is pretty intent on learning how to crawl.  She gets up on all 4, and sways, then brings her legs up - walks them forward, and tumbles (since she doesn't know what to do with her hands).  How is she already wanting to crawl!??!?

 She has also moved up into the bath ring!  Now, she can finally have a bath with Kellen!  She likes the ring so much more than the baby sling, because now she can play with her toys.

 And sometimes, she gets fixated on the television.  She will stop playing and just stare at the screen - it is pretty funny.

Chillin' and Playin'

 Kellen loves to play with Sarah on her playmat (Actually, I think that he likes the playmat toys more than she does!).  It is so sweet to watch them play together.
 Sarah loves to sit on Kellen's Elmo chair (she is pretty sure that it is HER chair...and she thinks that Elmo is real).  She looks so big sitting there!
 Laughing at Mommy and Kellen!

Sarah's curiosity

 Sarah is so curious about every single thing going on around her.  Whenever I try to change her, she squirms around and wants to sit up to look out her window.  Here she is looking at the cars on the street.
 She also loves to sit on Shawn's shoulders to look around the house, or the backyard (she also loves to yank on his hair - ouch!).
 And, she loves to strike a pose while playing on the floor!

A Little Kellen Time

 Kellen has a dry erase board in the kitchen where he likes to draw things, or practice his printing.  A couple of weeks ago, he drew Daddy and Mommy (and wrote our names!).  Personally, I think we look like snowmen - but it is still endearing!  

On September 22nd, we celebrated what would have been Grandpa's 65th birthday.  It was a pretty tough day - there were many tears, and many memories that we thought back to.  We wished Grandpa a happy birthday, and then had a steak and potatoes dinner (Grandpa's favourite!).  We drank grape juice (in lieu of Grandpa's red wine) and toasted him - and finished off our celebration with a super yummy chocolate cake  -and sang "happy birthday" to Grandpa.   We miss you, Grandpa.

 Kellen likes to put on Shawn's shoes and pants - here he is wearing Shawn's pj bottoms - he is so cute!
