Our sweet Sadie Rose is 9 months old (as of 3/29...I am a little behind on my blogging). My, oh my...how time flies.
Some Sadie Stats:
wt.: 19 lbs 6 oz (on our home scale...pedi appt. coming up on 4/27)
sizes: size 3 diapers, 12 months clothes
eating habits: She is still loving baby food...pretty much anything we give her she will eat. She is drinking water and juice from a sippy cup and is a huge fan of puffs or cheerios. She gets two fists fulls of cheerios and crams as many as she can in her mouth at a time. She nurses or takes a bottle 4-5 times a day. We are beginning the weaning process. She is doing just like Maggie did around this age. Very easily distracted and uninterested in nursing as much. We really are only doing it 2-3 times (morning/night) a day and supplementing with a bottle the rest of the time. I am very proud and thankful to have been able to breastfeed this long.
sleep: Takes 2 naps a day, morning and afternoon (usually1.5 hour long), and has an occasional little last cat nap at the end of the day (30 minutes). She usually is in bed by 8 or 8:30 and wakes between 7-8. She is finally sleeping the entire night through...as of this week. She hasn't woken up to eat in 6 straight days. Hallelujah!
activity: We have a crawler! Sadie is on the move...everywhere. She is so fast, too. She travels from room to room, follows the dogs and Maggie around and is loving her new found freedom. She loves to play in the floor with her musical/noisy toys, still likes to bounce in her exersaucer and likes to be outside. She is such a content and easy going girl. Whatever we are doing...she seems to be happy about, as long as she has a toy or something to look at or do. I have noticed in the last 2 days, that she is starting to pull up to her knees...won't be long before she can pull up to her feet and cruise. Sadie loves our animals, and smiles, squeals and bounces whenever she finds them or sees them. She claps all day long, plays with her feet and toes and has become a little copy cat. We can click our tongue or blow a zurbert...or make a noise and she will do it right back. It's pretty cute! She is saying Dada and Momma a lot, and trying to say dog...I think. We are so thankful for her sweet demeanor. Sadie has 2 teeth, and 2 more on the move coming in. They are all her bottom teeth. None on the top yet. Sadie is still a huge fan of bath time too.
Sadie had her first overnight stay away from Momma & Daddy this month. She stayed at Gigi and Papa's house for 2 nights while we went to Vegas for a little getaway. She did pretty good, except for waking during the night to play. Ha, she thought she would get all the time she could with Gigi...even if it was at 2 in the morning.
It is such a joy to have Sadie in our lives and we thank God for her everyday!
Loving dinner time!!!
Our little bathing beauty!
Little sister Sadie...
