Busy weekend w/ the aunties and uncles

It was a fun filled weekend!  On saturday, Aunty Kara and Aunty Cheryl came to visit.  Aunty Cheryl brought baby Noah, who is now 4 months old and looks almost the same size as Sadie (and not to mention wears the same size diapers as her!)  He was such a good sport....he just sat quietly in the bumbo chair while Sadie pulled his hair, patted his head, and poked him!

Sadie got her (early) first b-day present from Aunty and Noah...a TWEETY BIRD ROCKING CHAIR -- just what she wanted (although mommy got more excited than Sadie did). We were so bummed when we took it out of the wrapping and noticed that one of the parts were broken....oh well, amazon will have to send a new one!  Aunty Kara (who always get the biggest smiles from Sadie -- somehow I think Sadie knows her first beanie and blanket were made with love by this aunty) also brought Sadie a present - Humu's colorul ocean (book), which Sadie played with all afternoon.

On sunday, the whole family was off to accompany daddy to his NFL fantasy football draft at Uncle Ryan and Aunty Jenn's new home.  Sadie had the time of her life there (after an initial crying episode when we first got there).  Next time we go there for a visit, Sadie will have a new cousin, B-boy, who is set to make an appearance in October!

Defective book, lol 

Start steppin'

A big day for Sadie...as she took her first official step tonight!  Everyone was so excited, but it seems Sadie was even more excited!!   Overall, she is very cautious with standing and walking, so her falls so far have been minimal and relatively painless....hopefully that continues.  Such a bitter-sweet moment, as I was excited for this day, but it also signifies the end of the "baby" stage.

"Tough Customer"

Today, Daddy sent a video text message titled: "Tough customer."  It's one of the funniest videos I've ever seen...

All I can say is, NO WONDER it takes daddy an hour to feed her sometimes! LOL.  It's crazy how patient and calm he remains as she is being what I call "gently uncooperative."  She's also been doing a lot of that "smirking" recently, which daddy says is her being "cocky."
