FYI...

Our computer died earlier this week & we are looking forward to getting our new one via UPS tomorrow. Be looking forward to some new pictures this week.

We love Aunt Sarah!

I just had to include this fun picture of Aunt Sarah with her two favorite nieces. She is such a fun aunt! Jolie thinks she is the coolest!

Back to Birmingham

Aunt Sarah & Uncle Chad let us take over their house for a few more days this past weekend. Todd & Chad played lots of golf - 4 rounds to be exact. Sarah Kate & I hung out with the little girls. We had a great time! Here are some hightlights...

Jolie LOVED all of Aunt Sarah's fun shoes! (my closet is boring by comparison) Here she is modeling Aunt Sarah's fun boots:

9 months - already!

Sarah is 9 months old today! Her first year is flying by! When I saw the new bikini her Nonna sent her I thought it would make a perfect "outfit" for her 9 month pictures.

At 9 months she is:

• Crawling
• Pulling to a stand
• Still nursing
• Still toothless
• Very content to play & not be held
• Loves interacting with Jolie
• Such a joy!

Staying cool

We broke out our new baby pool this week in an effort to stay cool outside. Jolie has been begging to get in it everyday. Here is she sporting her stylish Disney Princess swimsuit.
Here she is showing off her new skill - going under water!

Swimming Lessons

Jolie had her first swimming lessons this week. One of our friends from church gives private lessons & was able to fit us in this week. She ended up doing quite well. She isn't swimming yet, but she has learned the basics & can practice the rest of the summer. Thanks to Mrs. Mindy for the fun time & treats!

Smiling Sarah

I love this little sweetie! She is getting around so fast now & is even pulling to a stand all by herself. I love her sweet smile.

A little more Birmingham

Here are a few more pictures from our time in Birmingham. We had the best week & can't thank Aunt Sarah & Uncle Chad enough for letting us take over there house for an entire week! It was a great way to pass the time while Todd is away.

Sarah's first swim. She loved the water & was very entertained by her sweet big sister.

The Zoo

We went to the zoo on Tuesday & had a great time. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures:
