St Patrick's Day

Today, Sarah, Gary and I experienced our first St. Patrick's Day together as a family of three. We started early this morning and went downtown for the parade. We had great seats thanks to a friend sho was there at 5am to claim them. The weather was decent - about 56 degrees and overcast. We had a few raindrops but the down pour held off until after the parade. Sarah was great the whole day and really enjoyed all of the action. She even managed to get a 3o minute power nap in with several marching bands coming by. After the parade, we enjoyed our traditional delicious late lunch at Sr. Pat's house (which is right on the parade route). It was a wonderful day! (on a side note, we watched a guy on a Harley in the parade loose control and put the bike on it's side- luckily he was ok but that Harley is going to need a little money spent on it for repairs - unlucky!)

8 Months Old!

Another month has flown by! Sarah is continuing to grow and change everyday. She cannot crawl yet (not complaining) but she has no problems getting around on her belly and arms. She can push herself up into a sitting position from laying down. We have been out and about and traveling this month. We went down to Florida for a night and visited with Grandma and Grandpa Mountjoy, Aunt Cortney and Uncle Austin and we went to Charleston for a weekend for Aunt Catharine's 30th birthday party. Sarah also attended Addison Grayson's 2nd birthday party. We have discovered that Sarah loves birthday cake! Sarah pretty much likes every food we have offered her. She started with some finger foods this month and is doing very well. She enjoys graham crackers and baby crunchies. Her top teeth are starting to come in and it is making her a little cranky but for the most part, she is a very happy baby with lots of smiles (see below)!
