Dance Party

Sadie loves to dance! More specifically, she loves our family dance parties. One day she'll be mortified by our dancing, but for now she delights in it. And she's already showing great and varied taste in music, counting Lady Gaga, Patsy Cline and Beyonce's "Single Ladies" among her favorites!

Five Months

The recent warm weather means Sadie can finally wear some of her sundresses! A perfect chance to display those rolls!

Our tribute to Gary Coleman: Sadie's "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?" face.

Sadie now weighs sixteen pounds. Not sure why I thought sixteen pounds would fit into a 0-3 month t-shirt. Clearly it does not.

Sadie recently found her feet. Who knew they could provide countless hours of entertainment? This discovery has helped her develop a new skill, as well: rolling over!

This is how I find Sadie most mornings. How can you begrudge waking up to a smile like that, even if it is at 5:00 am?

Sadie has mastered the reach and grab, and it's keeping us on our toes! Anything within her reach is fair game . . . a toy, our camera, glasses, my hair!

Quite appropriately, Sadie's new favorite game to play with Daddy is airplane!

I've been a horrible blogger. I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post. Sorry! Between Derek's mission, my incident with a bird, and Sadie's increasing activity, the past few weeks have flown by!

As you can see, it's been a big month for Sadie! After starting life in the 25th percentile for her height and weight, she's been packing on the pounds with focus and gusto that many a sumo wrestler would envy. At her four-month appointment, she was in the 90-95th percentile!

She's also mastering the art of rolling over. She rolls from both her back to her tummy, and her tummy to her back, but doesn't yet seem to realize what she's doing. Each time she rolls herself over she looks around, a little confused, to see who flipped her over. Such a funny girl!
