8 months!

This mom thing the second time around is so different! I know that every month when Jeremiah turned whatever month during his first year, I wrote a blog post about it. This time I can barely get organized enough to blog once a week! Poor baby Sarah. She's getting so big and even though sometimes it feels like the days are long, they've really flown by.

She's just precious and funny and I really hope she always smiles as much as she does now.


She was cracking up!


Shawn and I were still eating dinner and we excused J and let Sarah down - this is what we found.


How a lot of my time is spent - with a baby hanging off me! Ha ha! (J was helping me make salad dressing.)


J has been loving the dogs lately - it's sweet.


Sarah loves to be outside. I can't wait til she's walking so her crawling all over the sand and grass won't gross me out anymore!


We had an amazing Thanksgiving - J went without a nap (and did pretty good!) and Sarah napped for 2 1/2 hours in my mom and Ronnie's bedroom in the pack 'n play. It was better than I could have imagined. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful family here in Arizona to celebrate with!

Just a cute shot of J.


He ate with the kids - and he loved it!
