Sarah the scooter

So Sarah started scooting this week. She is not interested in crawling, but she got tired of just sitting. She just wiggles her legs and hips until she moves forward. I would have posted a movie, but it takes a long time to move very much. Perhaps time-lapse photography would be more appropriate right now. Anyhow, because Sarah can move into the hallway now we installed our gate at the top of the stairs. Since I know first hand the bad things that happen when a baby falls down the stairs, we didn't want to take any risks. Thanks to the Austins for giving the gate to us in Bountiful!
This is just a cute picture of Sarah after she got bored watching David play on the computer. Look, Grammie-- she's even wearing socks!!

And then there was light

After my last picture taking adventure Ganon said: "These look great except they don't have enough light." So I brought in a few lamps and here are the results. It helps that Sarah is so fun to photograph. Here you go, Grammie-- more pictures.

Toy box

We got a new toybox from the ReStore for $5. The kids were excited to see how it works. It was pretty great until they got stuck.

Reward

So, Ganon and I have started a new cleaning plan.  As a reward for doing my chores I can pick whatever fun project I want to work on.  Usually it's the bathroom downstairs, but Sarah was awake so I chose to make a few bows for the girls.  They aren't professional, but they're cute enough for me.  Here are a few examples.  (Sarah has the pink flower ones in her hair.)
