driving miss Sarah

What do you do on a rainy day, not really fall, not really summer anymore? Well, in between rain showers, we thought we would let Cody drive his Jeep around the yard. I put Sarah beside him thinking it would only last a few minutes before she got upset, but she loved it! She giggled and laughed the whole time, and of course Cody loved being the "big" guy driving her all around. (We did have to put a cushion behind her head for the sudden changes in speed that kept whacking her head off of the plastic backrest!)

Sitting pretty

An amazing thing has happened since Sarah is pretty well able to sit on her own. I can put the kids in the bath tub together and they have a great time splashing and playing. What a wonderful way to wind down a day! As you can see, Sarah is very happy to be a big girl.
I took Sarah for her six month appointment on Tuesday. She weighed 15lb 15oz and was 25.25 inches long. Still a peanut! She was only upset about the shots for a few minutes. I think she looks a little bit like Minnie Mouse in her red shirt!

Seems like forever since I have posted. It is not that we haven't been doing stuff, I guess we have just been too busy to post! Cody and Sarah are playing together a lot. He really likes that she is able to do a little bit more, but of course he always tries to push the limits.
What a dad!
Sarah finally got her foot up to her mouth. She loves sucking on her big toe. The other day at our church picnic, she was eating baked beans and in between bites, she would put her toe in her mouth. When she was done, her foot was covered in baked bean sauce! Yuck, sticky feet!
On Friday, we went to Penn's Cave to the Antique tractor show. Cody's favorite parts were the "corn box" and the petting zoo. They had a little barrel train that he was really interested in. He kept telling us that he wanted to ride in it, but we waited in line 3 times to get on, and everytime we tried to put him in he screamed to be out. Crazy little man. After dark, they had the steam tractor pulls. The noise scared him a little at first, but as long as someone was holding him, he loved it. He kept saying "choo-choo" because they sound like trains!
