A new addition...

Okay, so I've been MIA for a few weeks now....but I have an excuse --- a 6 week hangover that finally seems to be subsiding!  In a few months, we'll have to re-title this blog Sadie & ___ Minn, to include Sadie's little sibling on the way :)  Estimated due date of baby #2 is 10/10/12, but will most likely arrive on 10/3/12 via scheduled c-section.  So far, what we know of #2 is that he/she is causing havoc already...making me tired as heck and sick as a dog...throwing up EVERY DAY for the past 6 weeks (except for 5 lucky days here and there).  First ultrasound at 6 weeks showed the heart rate at 175 bpm...so I already prepped daddy to expect another girl.  (Some say boys will have heart rates of below 140, while girls will usually be above 160....Sadie was 164, so it seems to be true).  Boy or girl...doesn't matter, as long as #2 is healthy and happy.

Almost 1 & 1/2 !!

Sadie has really grown up in the past few weeks.  She pretty much understands everything we say to her and can follow simple commands like: put your shoes on, kiss ___, wipe your mouth, say bye bye, put that back.  Some of her favorite things to do these days is: play in her tent, run around Kahala Mall, go to the park or My Gym, and watch cartoons.  One of the funniest things she does now is she says "hi baby" to all the kids (even the ones double her size) and babies that we run across.  Some of the other words she uses well are: mom, dad, baba (bottle), yes, no, mum mum, ball, dog, wawa (water), up, down, hi, bye bye, Elmo.

Sadie is famous for taking off her diaper during nap time and making shi shi in her crib....so everyone that watches her knows that she must have pants or a panty on to go to sleep.  With that being said....the other day, Grammie came across a terrifying scene when she went to get Sadie from her nap.  Sadie had taken off her long sleeved shirt, her long pants, and her diaper....then proceeded to make doo doo and shi shi in her playpen!  We are all still very amazed that she did all that without making a sound.  Thankfully she hasn't had a repeat episode of that...or we'd be searching for another babysitter.

She's like "what you looking at?" 

The "crime scene" as Gramps called it
