Dram dram!

- Today at work, I got a text from Grammie: "I think she's getting dram dram!"
- I responded: "No way!?"
- I texted Vail: "My mom claims Sadie knows dram dram."
- Vail responded: "Not"
- Later in the day, Grammie texted again: "Knows dram dram"
- I responded: "I'll believe it when i see it, LOL"

I was excited to see this, and I wasn't disappointed!  Sadie actually knows "dram dram", which is one of the "tricks" Koreans teach their babies.  Basically, it's just her opening and closing her hands, but still...it's so exciting to see her learn!!!  Soon, she will be learning the other 2 tricks: "dori dori," which is moving head side to side, and "konji konji," which is pointing the index finger of one hand to the palm of the other hand.

6/1 - Sadie now does "clap-clap" and tries to do "konji-konji" but can't quite make her finger to a point.
6/4 - Seems to somewhat know "dori-dori"

Tooth fairy here I come

First tooth started erupting from Sadie's lower gums today....or that's when it was first noted anyway.  She will NOT let you SEE the tooth, but you can feel it when she bites on your finger.  It seems to have greatly affected her eating, as she has recently only been drinking a few ounces (2-4) at a time....down from her previous 6-7 ounce average.  She also started waking up during the night a few weeks ago, so we're back to square one as far as night-time feedings go.  Probably waking at night to make up for the calories lost during the day.  Crossing our fingers that this is going to be a relatively short phase.

Update: seemed like the teething phase lasted about 1 week or so total.  Very relieved that she is pretty much back to normal as far as her eating.  Although her discomfort seems to be resolved, she still really enjoys her cold teething toys and she seems to prefer her food to be kind of on the slushy side.  As soon as she'll let me, I want to get a pic of those two bottom teeth....so cute!

RODI

Sadie is making good use of the "Rodi" bouncer that was handed down to her from Paisley and Chase.  She gets pretty nuts on it and acts more like a rascal boy, rather than a sweet little girl!

Rides rides rides

Sadie enjoyed her first carousel ride at Fun Factory at Kahala Mall.

Sadie was recently granted access to the "red wagon club," with cousins Paisley and Chase.  Poor Chase with his hand-me-down, pink robe!  Doesn't bother him, but I don't think Uncle Corey is too fond of it!

Here comes TROUBLE!

Some pics from this week.  One minute she's here, the next minute....she's: pulling UP to stand, or IN her toy box, or UNDER her jumper!  Always with a "cocky" look, as her daddy calls it.
