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.

At 5 weeks old, Sadie is starting to use her hands and legs more, and also seems to be able to see things a lot better now.  Here's a short video of her "talking" and beating up her monkey, LOL.

First Halloween!

For Sadie's first halloween, we went with the Yamashita clan to Kahala Mall....it was PACKED!  Chase had a sumo costume, but since he was still a little bit under the weather Aunty Jenn dressed him in Paisley's old penguin costume and Paisley was "Foofa" from Yo Gabba Gabba.  Aunty Jenn had a "DJ Lance" costume for Uncle Corey to wear, but of course he didn't want to wear it out in public, so Vail was a good sport and did the deed -- it was hilarious!  All the kids, and even the adults at the mall were pointing and saying "Oooh, there's DJ Lance!"..... it was like walking next to a celebrity!   A couple of kids even wanted to take pictures with DJ Vail, LOL!  Paisley's "Foofa" costume was also a hit....a few people commented that she had the cutest costume they had ever seen.  Chase was a good penguin, he was up the whole time with his big eyes wide open, just observing.  Our Korean red chili pepper slept through the whole event!....oh well, at least she didn't fuss!  :)

I think she looks like daddy in this one

4 week check up

Sadie is growing up too, too fast!  Here are her "stats" from her 4 week check up with Dr. Tim Sing (as compared to her 2 week old check up):

Head circumference went from 14 inches (40%) --> 14.5 inches (48%)
Weight went from 7 lbs 1.4 oz (14%) --> 8 lbs 6.3 oz (29%)
Height went from 20 inches (37%) --> 21.25 inches (62%)

The thrush is about 90% resolved, so breast feeding is now actually becoming enjoyable for us.  :)  Now at 8 lbs, Sadie is about to transition from "newborn" diapers, to size 1 diapers!  Oh how she's growing!!!  Her newborn sized clothes are also getting a little snug, so she'll be retiring those soon as well.
