David 5 months

David continues to get stronger and stronger and now can roll over and sit up on his stomach. He loves to laugh and smile, which is fun to watch. He will be 5 months this week and we still wonder where the blonde hair and blue eyes are coming from--well we know they are from mom but we doubt these recessive traits will last long over Greg's dominant dark hair and eyes. Sarah did have blue eyes for the first few months, like many babies, but we'll see if they start to change in the coming months. We did find a picture of Sarah from when she was around David's age and they do look very similar despite the hair.

Look at me, I can sit up!

What's this on the blanket?

Hmm, what's going on over there?

Hi everyone!

Florida Trip

We had a fun trip to Florida in late March to visit Nanny and Pop-pop at their house. The weather was warm on some days and colder on others. We still had fun and Sarah really enjoyed going in the hot tub with the bubbles. She loved playing at the beach in the sand and had great trips with Nanny and Pop-pop to visit animals. Greg and I had an opportunity to get a few days without the kids which was a nice change. All in all a great trip!

David's Growing

David continues to grow and meet his milestones. We had an adjustment when he started daycare --he didn't like using bottles, but now he is happy and likes getting dropped off by his big sister. Sarah wants to drop and pick up David off first so she knows he is ok. She also likes to show off her brother to the other kids. It is very sweet and she is a great helper. These are just a few of David's photos at 3-4 months.

Hey there....

Easter Fun

This Easter Sarah had a lot of fun searching for eggs. She had several sessions of practice as well. It started with searching for eggs at pre-school and then having an egg hunt at a friend's house on Saturday. By they time Sunday came, she was excited for more in our backyard. Greg was working, so it was just Sarah, David and I. I hid the eggs and then Sarah wanted to do it again and again. I hid the eggs, then she hid the eggs...this went on for several tries. I am amazed at how easily children her age can be entertained and it reminded me of the fun of searching for eggs at Easter. Next year, hopefully David will join in the fun!
