Misc. Pix

The first picture is from cousin Michaela's birthday party. We're about to head home so that's why we're in PJ's. If not you would see the kids sporting their first tattoos. It was a Tinkerbell themed party so Caleb has a pirate skull on his arm and Sarah had Tink. They had fun running Mom and Dad ragged. The next two pictures are of them in their new tunnel. Their friend Scout has one and they loved it so much they had to get one of their own. Sarah picks it up and shakes it, they get in it and roll, they chase each other, play peekaboo and so much more in it. It's too funny!

1st Trip to the Beach

We took the kids to the coast over Labor Day weekend. It was a gorgeous day and they absolutely loved it. They both wanted to run to the water. Once Sarah got there she didn't like it but for some reason she just kept going back. Caleb didn't care how cold it was, he wanted to get to the water and play! They both loved the sand, Caleb immediately started burying himself and eventually did eat some. Sarah was a little cautious at first but decided she really liked it. She kept trying to walk in the dry sand and had trouble but it was pretty funny.

Fun Stuff

So here's Caleb wearing Daddy's letterman's jacket. Too cute! A little big yet, but I don't think he cared. They both love climbing the stairs, here's Sarah about to start up. Notice the appropriate message on her little tush as we head into football season. GO DUCKS!

Swingers

The kids finally got to really check out their new swing set. They loved it!

Ball Pit Fun

I couldn't resist adding these pictures. They were taken about a month ago at an indoor play place.

Adventures in Eating

Here's Caleb eating his first "Big Boy" banana. We let him have a half and he went to town. What a slimy mess! I think he enjoyed that part best of all. He's been a little more eager to try and walk lately. He's pushing the ride on toy around and walks holding one hand. He also has been talking a lot. His latest phrase...."Go Ducks!"

Sarah is learning to use a spoon. She was getting very irritated at meal time and once we gave her a little more independence she seemed to be happy. They are eating lots of big kid food these days and they love it. Their favorite is grilled cheese! YUM!

Latest Summer Fun

So here's Sarah showing off her new skill. She decided about a week ago that it was time to walk and she's very excited about it! She'll take 5 or 6 steps before landing in a giggling heap on the floor. Caleb is still pretty content to go with crawling because it seems to be a lot quicker.


Caleb is enjoying (sort of) some time in the pool they got for their birthday. The water was a little cold but he really enjoyed splashing! Caleb and Sarah both had fun trying to catch the spraying water with their fingers and going down the slide.
