Growing Like a Weed

When I took Sarah's clothes off tonight to give her a bath, I swear she looked bigger than she did when I dressed her this morning. Her hair is also starting to grow. I think she has more of that tonight than she did this morning, too. It seems to have a little bit of a reddish tint like Adam's did when he was little. She is growing so fast!

Kevin was holding her earlier and she started watching her hands, tracking their every move. I think she is going to be rolling over and sitting up before we know it!

We Survived!

We all survived the first week back to work/school. I think Sarah was very happy to be at Mandy's. I'm sure Adam and Ivy entertained her every day. She fussed when I put her in her car seat each day although I think it really was that she didn't want to be confined in that thing.

Adam was so excited to see Ivy on Monday. He had really missed her. When Kevin got home that evening, the first words to him from Adam were "Adam go to Ivy's house today".

I have been so surprised at how tired I've been this week but then I probably shouldn't be. I think I am going to have to start my days with some caffeine. Too bad I don't like coffee.

I received an email with a picture each day and one day got a video of Sarah talking to me. You can watch it, too.

Happy New Year!

We went to a friend's house to bring in the new year. There were several other children there so Jackson and Adam spent the evening moving from the living room to the basement where all the "boy toys" were. Of course, the kitchen was right in their path so they could stop and snack on the way. The living room had Rock Band set up so Kevin and Jackson tried their hands at being a rock star. Kevin played the guitar and Jackson tried out the drums and the guitar. Sarah was the most perfect baby. She was passed around and even took a few naps. Jackson was so excited to actually be able to stay up past midnight. The boy's never acted the least bit tired. They were very well behaved. The good thing was that they slept the next morning. We were a little worried about Adam but he didn't get up until 8:00 and Jackson slept until 10:45! I'm sorry I don't have pictures but we forgot the camera. Happy New Year!
