Here are all the photos from January!  Sarah figured out how to pull the froggy on this seat:

We took a number of walks and on rainy days have been enjoying this new umbrella from Gram (and we get so many compliments on Aunt Suzanne’s eggplant hat):

Blaine’s 33 3/4 inches tall:

Blaine has been enjoying this new rain jacket from Great Aunt Jane on rainy days, as well:

Sarah had her first bus ride, the #10 home from the QFC (so, only a few blocks):

Daddy went to India for the last week of January and we missed him SO much!  I took this picture in an attempt to recreate a similar one I took of Blaine two years ago:

Here’s the pic of Blaine for comparison:

And now back to Sarah:

Sarah, in her cute new green polka-dot coat from Tim and Liz:

Blaine walking backwards on the balance beam at the Little Gym:

A shaky video of Sarah giggling (sorry for the camerawork – it’s difficult to film while encouraging giggling):

Sarah turned three months old while Tim and Liz were visiting:

Here’s the month by month series!

Uncle Tim and soon-to-be-Aunt Liz visited from 1/8-12.  They were a huge help with Blaine and Sarah, and even cooked a delicious dinner one night!  We had a wonderful time catching up on all that’s happened in the last six months.

S-T-B Aunt Liz knitted this beautiful blanket for Sarah!

Blaine moved up to the “Twos” room at daycare starting on Jan 5th, and he seems to be loving it.  Here are a few pics from his first day:

We had a low-key new year celebration here in Seattle, with Gram and Grand-dad.  Here are a few pics from their visit!
