Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today, the kids helped their daddy celebrate his birthday.

Sunday at The K

Today, we jumped on the Royal's band wagon and took Andy to a game (Sammy stayed home with Grandma). We even bought Royals shirts for the occasion! Andy wanted to sleep in his last night so he would be ready to go when he got up this morning. We settled for putting the shirt on immediately upon waking.

We had a great afternoon and perfect weather to check out the new K. Andy enjoyed a hot dog, a carousel ride and cotton candy (this got us through 3 innings) at the ballpark. We topped of the day by "running the bases" at the end of the game. On Sundays, after the game, they actually allow the kids down on the field to run the bases. This was definitely a highlight for Andy.

Needless to say, without a nap, LOADS of sugar, and walking/running a lot, Andy crashed as soon as we started home.













Oh...the Royals won! I guess we will stay on the band wagon for a little while longer.

9 Months

Sammy's 9th month was marked with a major milestone...crawling! She is now constantly on the move. Her crawling speed improves everyday, so we are trying to adjust back to a fully baby proofed house. This is more difficult with a three year old in the house.

In addition to crawling, she has also learned to go from the crawling postion to sitting up. We now find her every morning sitting up in her crib with a big smile.

This month she discovered number two foods, Puffs and teething biscuits! So far, she has loved everything we feed her. I can only hope this continues, one picky eater is enough.

We took this video the first day Sammy really started to crawl.
