week 17 & 18 - we got ourselves a big one!

sadie is now 16 lbs and 26 inches long!
still in the 95%!
which means she is doing very well
her new big thing is TOYS!!
she loves toys
loves eating them, loves grabbing them, but really she just loves to eat them
so on one of the days that her mom got over caffeinated and could not stop moving she created ultimate extreme crib!
toys in every corner and sadie loves it
you can hear the rattles rattling the squeaks squeaking
her other favorite is her new jumperoo!
she bounces and squeals with delight
the following movie is her playing during one of her calm moments

aside from that all is quiet in the house
we are getting ready for halloween and though i think the the pumpkin would be adorable we got her a little black meow outfit that has a little tail!
bec is back at work full time which has been hard
though i am beginning to learn how to sleep with my eyes open and type at the same time
mom zombie is what they call us right?
school is going well one class is almost over well the other is in full swing
what this all translates too is figuring out how we can work half the hours at a physical job and work more hours with sadie on our laps!
thus the quest for self employment begins what we do as a family:

• brighten any dark corner of your house by being cute wall flowers!
• web design
• home improvement
  
• murals
• personalized cartoons or illustrations
• fashion model of onesies
  

there is more to this list but.......
anyways enjoy the new pictures and the fall foliage

week 15 & 16 - some one has discovered her voice

sadie has learned the art of squealing!
she squeals with delight and she squeals when she wants something
right now her favorite toy is her stuffed rat
yes sadie has a stuffed toy rat that she loves to eat
actually she loves sticking everything into her mouth!
she has also started laughing out loud
the following movie is all about the giggling corn queen!

sadie has taken her first music and movement class
sadie was the youngest musician but loved singing and dancing with mimi!
nothing else is really going on
mom is back to work full time which is sad for all of us
we are getting ready for halloween which is our favorite holiday
still not sure what sadie will be for halloween
either a ladybug or a pumpkin
what do you all think?
we have eight pumpkins, a strobe light, some skeletons, tomb stones and we will be making some scarecrows!
this will be the best halloween ever!
remember we have some thing like 300 kids come through the neighborhood which is so much fun
no new house projects the next thing on the list is getting ready for winter
which means:
installing an interior door, building radiator covers (because some one will be crawling very very soon) and insulating the ceiling in the basement and putting in dry wall
should keep us busy and out of trouble!
until next time enjoy the pictures
sadie is rolling every which way now and is always surprised when she does roll over!

week 13 & 14 - corn queen thrives!

the little ohio baby thrives
she loves taking long walks at the metro parks
every week our little family takes a nice walk in the woods
we wear sadie in her front pack so she can see the trees
she loves talking to the trees
it is possible we might have a little horticulturist!
she has started laughing out load but only when you do something really really silly!
she also has sucked on an apple, and green bean
her favorite is still corn!
only two more weeks until mom goes back to work full time
don't think either sadie or mom are happy about this but work means paycheck
paycheck means toys!!!!
sadie is really into things that light up and music!
her favorite right now is listening to mimi and aunt cyndie sing!
so we will have to get a recording of them singing cattle songs together.
well that is it for right now
i leave you with a little movie...
on certain days mommy has to get her homework done so she reads out load to sadie about libraries and such
sadie finds this oh so boring so usually talks and squeals through the entire reading
enjoy!
