week 30 and we are standing!

i think pictures will say a lot more than i can so here you go......























she is feeding herself....pulling herself up on the sofa and crib
sadie crawls backwards really really fast
so aaron and i are running around moving her from point a to point b before she hits point c
sadie loves to sing and loves FOOD!
so when she is not sleeping she is eating.....she is becoming a big girl

enjoy the pictures and movie

no idea what week but do know we are 7 months!

okay writing at 6:00 in the morning has never been a strong characteristic but here it goes.....
sadie has a new sleep pattern one that does not work in my favor
she is up with big blue eyes staring at me ready to play between 4 and 4:30 in the morning
i am willing to work with 5 but 4? have a hard time with this......
i have typically been one to go to bed at 4 and sleep until 1 or 2 in the afternoon so this life altering sleep arrangement is making me deranged
so many things have happened since the new year.....
sadie has developed into a mover.....still not moving forwards but she is moving
she can pull herself up to a standing position and can hold herself up for sometime before the leaning tower of sadie topples
she can sit up now without falling over, she lifts her belly up off the ground and can rock back and forth on her knees, she can feed herself (well sort of most of the food crumbs make it into her diaper and not her mouth)

she has started making raspberry sounds with her mouth which she loves doing when she has food in her mouth meaning we have a jackson pollock mouth artist on our hands peas and carrots everywhere!
so everyday she discovers something new and learns something new
she has started to pay attention to books still likes to eat them but usually you can get half the story in first before she eats it
it was 66 degrees in cleveland yesterday and today it is suppose to be 64......global warming? anyways all the snow has melted and our crocus are once again totally confused but it was a nice break
i start school up next monday only one class this semester which will be nice, aaron is still working his crazy schedule (hello aaron how are you?) which means i see him a little on wed, sat and sunday and thats it......mimi comes back from hawaii on thursday which sadie is totally excited about and bec and sadie bought tickets to go visit her niece emily in RI.
it will be a fun trip interesting to figure out how to keep the squirmy wiggle bottom still for an hour but TOYS.......or books
think that is all for now enjoy the days as they get brighter and brighter

x-mas and beyond.................

well someone slept in on x-mas day and got up at 7:00 am
she opened a bunch of presents got a little overwhelmed and had to take a few time out naps
but she knew ALL the colorfully wrapped presents under the tree were for her and she did squeal with excitement
thank you everyone for making this such a special x-mas for sadie

she loved all the things that require mommy and daddy to buy batteries and sing silly songs in our heads
aaron and i play name that toy song alot
aaron and i did get her a little aquarium which she loves
frankie seems uninterested which is good so we don't have to have that natural selection talk with sadie yet......
sadie is starting to crawl sort of.....it is usually going backwards but she can crawl backwards really fast
she also has the strength of a super ninja and enjoys pulling her daddy's beard A LOT
she is also experiencing people anxiety so breaks down in tears if you even look at her the wrong way......
grocery shopping is going to be a hoot!
lets see aside from that it seems everyday she changes a little more she has started to pull herself up to a standing position still real wobbly but her super strong ninja legs can hold her up for a long time!
she says maaa maaaa lots and daaaa daaaa.....she has totally discovered frankie much to frankies demise but i think frankie will be the motivation to crawl
we are signing to her and she seems to understand what we are saying
she loves drinkin' water and has been experimenting with more foods
her favorite like her mom and dad is CHEESE!
so we are raising her well she loves extra sharp cheddar though we give her only a very very small amount...clogs up the ole pipes and that is one thing we do not want a clogged baby
she thinks tofu has an odd texture but when mixed with other veggies really enjoys it....
so what are we planning now?
the holidays are almost over with the new year! soon school will start back up and some day in february aaron and i might see each other
the new schedule has been hard and sadie loves spending time with her daddy she is still adjusting to everything
her mimi is in hawaii and she does miss playing with mimi but she still has bumpa to nap on everyday so that is good.......
wishing everyone a happy new year
sadie sends her love and many many thanks for all the wonderful toys!
