Tummy Time

Although she hates it....Sadie is getting better at tummy time, and is able to briefly hold her head up at a 45 degree angle.  She loves playing with her tongue....and according to Dr. Tim Sing, that is often a sign that baby will be an "early talker" -- not sure if that's a good thing or a bad one  :)

Looks like 45 degrees to me  :)

Aunty Shanti takes good care of Sadie.  She enjoys changing, feeding, and even bathing Sadie!

2 Month Check-up

Today we went for Sadie's 2 month check up with Dr. Tim Sing at Kaiser Hawaii Kai.  On the way there, as I was sitting in the passenger seat, I kept telling Vail that she looks so happy in the back sitting in her car seat -- eyes wide open, looking all around with a small smile on her face (usually in the car she passes out, or if she's up....she'll cry every time the car stops moving).  Anyways, when we got there, we found out why she was so happy.....she made a HUGE doo doo that overflowed out of her diaper, soiled her outfit, and also got onto her carseat!  OMG, what a mess.....and for some reason I think she knew that this was the ONE TIME that mommy didn't bring the diaper bag w/ extra change of clothes!  Vail and I spent a good 10 minutes in the waiting room trying to clean her up, and poor thing...she didn't have any clothes to change into!

Well, back to the check up.....so Sadie is overall VERY healthy, AND.....to our disbelief....she grew to 24 inches, a whopping 95th percentile!!!!  (So hard to believe that she grew 5 inches in just 2 months!....maybe Aunty Jenn is right....she might be headed for the WNBA, LOL).  Weight = 11 lb 2.4 oz, 57 percentile.  Head circumference 15", 30th percentile.  Sadie also received 4 vaccines today, 3 shots and 1 oral one.  She took them all like a champ....she cried after each poke, but only for 10 seconds or less after each one!  Next visit will be at 4 months old.

It's December already!!  That means time for shopping, wrapping, and of course.....sending out X-mas cards!!!!  Here are a few "out-takes" from last night's photo session!  :)  Still very cute, but they didn't quite make the cut!  Hopefully next year, we can send out pictures of a smiling Sadie!

Then finally.....a good one!  YAY!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Sadie's first Thanksgiving, daddy had to work so we stopped by the Kaneohe Fire Station to say hello.  After that, we had dinner at Grammie's house.  Aunty Jenn bought matching snowman pajamas for Paisley, Chase, and Sadie, so we had fun dressing them up and attempting to take a picture with the 3 kids together....it was total chaos!  Grammie was standing behind the cameras trying to get the kids to smile, and while she was entertaining them, she was yelling "Chase!  Chaaaaaase, Paisley....Paisley, look......hey, hey look STACY......I mean Sadie" --- it was so hilarious....who the heck is "Stacy"!!!???  LOL

Sleeping through the night?....

Last night, Sadie slept for 6 & 1/2 hours straight (10:30 pm to 5 am)!  Woooo Hoooo!!!!  Now....anxious for tonight, to see if it's going to be a habit or if it was just a fLuKe!  :)

6 & 1/2 Weeks

Sadie can now "talk back" to you when you talk to her; she especially enjoys talking with Grammie.  She also coos quite a bit now, and there's even an occasional giggle here and there.  She now stays up for stretches of several hours (one time 8 hours with a few cat naps in between), and can sleep up to four hours at a time at night.  She's really starting to fill out now, and wears size 1-2 diapers, and 3 month-sized clothes.
