Grandpa has been intiated!

Mom and I ran a quick errand yesterday afternoon and left Sarah with my dad. He has watched her by himself before so this was no big deal. When we returned we found Grandpa standing up, holding Sarah wrapped in a blanket. This is not uncommon so we thought nothing of it. After further investigation, we found out that Sarah was actually wrapped in a blanket and had on only a diaper. The reason why? While we were gone, Sarah had a diaper blowout and grandpa had to deal with it. Needless to say, there was poo everywhere. As Grandpa scrambled to clean up this crying baby, clean clothes were not within arms reach and he was unsure altogether where they were, so that is why she was in a diaper and blanket only. I will have to say, that Sarah was clean and the diaper was on correctly so Grandpa did a great job. Mom and I thought it was quite funny but he did not. Now that he has proven he CAN change a diaper, he will have to come up with new excuse for not doing it!

Sarah Kate's 1st Christmas

As you can imagine, Sarah is getting more presents than she knows what to do with and we are only half way through. Here are a few pictures. More to come...Merry Christmas!

Teeth

Check it out! Sarah has her two bottom front teeth breaking through!

Sarah and (another) Santa

R.I.P. Savannah

Last week we lost a member or our family, Savannah. We think she suffered a stroke and we made the hard decision to put her down as we did not want her to suffer one bit. Gary brought her home from the Bahama's 8 years ago on a blackhawk helicopter and she has been one the best dogs ever. She is and will be dearly missed.

5 Months Old - December 2, 2009

Wow! Sarah Kate is 5 months old and changing every day. She rolls over with ease and sleeps on her stomach. She sucks her thumb AND her toes! She is full of smiles and loves to share them. She is a great sleeper. She is learning to eat oatmeal cereal in addition to mommy's milk. She tries to pull herself up and can sit up with support. She coos and laughs and squeals and "talks". She is a very happy baby. She is enjoying school and has "moved up" to another room. All and all, life is good in Sarah Kate's world as well as ours.

First Santa Visit

Mom and I were out and about Sunday and Santa was at Bass Pro Shops. He was a great Santa so we let Sarah have her first experience with him. She did great as you can see.
