For some reason it had not occurred to me until a few days ago that Sarah could just get her bath in the real bath tub. I have been bathing her in the baby tub this whole time, even though she's been sitting up on her own for well over a month. Ah well, no harm done. Doesn't she look so cute and tiny in the tub?
She loves being able to play around in the tub! What a happy girl! What bizarre hair she has!
Check it out! There's water in here!
The problem with only being able to crawl backwards, as you might imagine, is that you tend to get stuck under the furniture.
Hannah decided her tutu would make a fabulous hat. It even matches the outfit. 
I got this water toy on 90% off clearance at the end of last summer. It doesn't have very good water pressure, but it was worth 79 cents. 
The sprinkler is a little more intense!
We let the kids have ice cream cones last weekend. Jack saved most of his ice cream on his shirt for later, as you can see. This picture illustrates how annoying it is when you accidentally focus the shot on the background instead of your subject. Oh well, you can still see how cute he is.
In the above picture Jack is in proper focus, but is sporting his petulant, "Mine!" face. "Mine" is a very big concept for him right now. He is two for sure.
For some reason I find myself singing the song "Peggy Sue" to Sarah but singing it as "Sarah Sue." I only know part of the lyrics, "Sarah Sue, Sarah Sue, pretty pretty pretty pretty Sarah Sue, OH! Sarah, my Sarah Soo-oo-oo-oo" etc. The kids have taken to calling her Sarah Sue too. It's kind of funny. 
I love her big eyes and sweet cheeks!
I forgot to note the exact day, but Sarah has been sitting up by herself for a few weeks now. She doesn't go from crawl position to sitting yet, but she does this weird ab crunch move that makes it look like she's exercising. Hilarious. I should get a video.
Sarah can crawl backwards. She gets up on her knees and looks for all the world like she's about to crawl, and then she hurls herself backward and looks up in shock as if to say, "Oh SNAP, I just went the wrong way AGAIN!"
My best efforts to keep Sarah out of the sun are no match for her self-hurling skills. She disdains hats, and when I put her in a carefully placed seat to ensure that she's shaded, she throws herself forward trying to get to the action. I need some sort of standing umbrella or something.
