The Chase Is On!

All is going well in the Grubb household.  Sidney and Zoe are now 7 months old and getting into all kinds of trouble… or at least having looks on their faces as though they’ve done something.

Sidney crawls everywhere.  She is a force that simply cannot be stopped anymore.  If she decides to crawl through a wall, I have a feeling she wouldn’t give up until she’s at least chewed through the drywall.  Its great fun chasing after her or trying to keep her from trying to eat her sister.

Occasionally Zoe looks like she might be ready to crawl, but then she just resorts back to swimming.  We have confidence that she’ll get tired of Sidney chasing her and find a way to run away.  Of course she could always decide to do what we always thought she would do… skip crawling altogether and just go straight to walking.

Its obvious that they have a great deal of affection for each other.  Zoe always smiles, squeals, and tries to touch Sidney’s face when she’s within range.  Sidney always smiles at Zoe, though when she touches Zoe, or anything for that matter she is not usually gentle.

Susan and I are also doing well.  This surprises some people we know because they tend to believe that children are a strain on a relationship.  We have definitely not experienced that yet.  If anything we have become a much tighter unit.

It will be Halloween soon and I know you’re all itching to see the girls in their costumes, but you’ll have to wait :)  To hold you over I’ve included a few pictures, including the obligatory basket pictures.  One of these days I’ll do a post that shows how big they’ve gotten in that basket.

Sidney Crawls!

The other day Sidney decided she wanted to eat the Jumperoo.  The problem was that she was across the blanket from it.  She managed to get the job done though.  After this video was taken she finished eating the Jumperoo.

Just to let everyone know, we are finishing the last box of Diapers from the baby showers.  Thank you to everyone for giving us such a large stash!  They are now size 4 and growing… HINT HINT HINT :)
