Sarah is 6 months old!

25.75 inches long (45%)

Landon at 6 mos.

January 8, 2011

27 inches long

18.2 lbs.

When you compare their stats, Landon is bigger than SK at the same point in their lives, but to me, Sarah feels so much bigger than Landon was for some reason.  Maybe its the cheeks :)

Sarah is eating lots of purred foods, loves water from a cup with NO lid or out of a spoon.  She sleeps through the night about 3 nights out of the week (same as Landon at this point), and is napping much better on her own during the day.

She is interacting with her environment and with us so much these days.  She pulls on and grabs onto everything in her reach and is beginning to put things in her mouth.

She loves rolling over to get where she wants to go.

Landon and Sarah playing with kitchen tools :)

Landon still loves pretend play.  He plays Ghostbusters, Ninjas, and Frozen often.  He loves building with Legos, building with other blocks, reading, and playing outside.  He also likes to help in the kitchen and laundry.  He loves to tell jokes, retell stories, dance, sing, and play with his friends.

Peeing and Pooping in the potty :)

Who ya gonna call?  

Growing up so fast!

Preparing for the Holidays

November 30, 2014

This girl can now roll from her back to her belly!  Now that she's accomplished this, she doesn't stop!

She rolled over the first time while Jared and I were struggling to get our very crocked Christmas Tree in the stand (P.S.  Never let the 4 year old pick out the tree).  I say this jokingly because it was well worth it to see his excited face when we chose the tree he deemed as "the best smelling ever!" 

Sarah is loving solid pureed foods these days.  She has tried sweet potatoes, apples, carrots, avocado, prunes, pumpkin, pears, and peaches.  Her lease favorite seems to be avocado and her favorites are apples and pears.   She is also drinking water from a spoon to wash all her yummy food down! 

Something we have begun to try and have had a lot of success with is putting Sarah on the potty when we know she is going to poo.  She forecasts her need to go very clearly so we are able to catch her more often than not.  Cloth diapering is going Extremely well and SK has never had a rash or any redness using cloth!  Jared was a skeptic at first, but he's mentioned often how happy he is we made the decision and I know I am! 

Ms. Snowflake returned to our house and Landon seems very excited about her adventures every night.  

Sarah and I attended my Woman's Club Christmas Dinner at the Roanoke Country Club.  We had such a great time!  We look forward to more holiday fun in the coming weeks!

After a FANTASTIC week at school, Landon got to sleep out under the Christmas Tree!

We had a great time at the Salem library, reading with Mrs. Claus, writing a letter to Santa, doing crafts and spending time with friends!
