4th of July weekend

We had a HOT weekend here in Seattle, but we still had some fun.  Blaine was so excited to see the wading pool being filled.  The pool attendant even showed him the tool to turn the water on and off.

We did a lot of our dining outside on the deck.  Sarah has developed a fondness for laying her face down on her tray, in her food (perhaps inspired by Aunt Molly?).

On the 4th we met up with some friends at Mt. Baker beach on Lake Washington. Here’s Blaine working on his beach bum look.

Some more al fresco dining – we enjoyed some patriotic strawberry and blueberry shortcake.

On Sunday we went for some walks and went to a BBQ.

This weekend Sarah also worked on a new skill – she pushed up to a sitting position from her tummy for the first time!  Here are two videos.

At one point she somehow ended up sitting under a kitchen chair.

We don’t think it’ll be long before she’s figured out crawling!
