Sadie at one month

On February 15, Sadie has her one-month check up. She's doing great! She weighed 9lbs and measured 21" (she measured 21" at birth, but that measurement may have been non-exact given the nature of trying to measure a skirmish just-born baby). Her head is 14.75" around. She is in the 41st percentile in height and weight (symmetrical!), and 77th percentile for head circumference.
Keep up the great work, Sadie Maxine!

Milestone

After last night's spontaneous but successful nap lying flat on the play mat, I put Sadie down for a morning nap lying flat in the bassinet (as opposed to lying upright in the cat seat, swing, bouncy chair, or my arms). Way to go, baby Sadie!

OH! And she is wearing a 0-3 month outfit today for the first time (as opposed to a newborn sized outfit).  It's a little big, but she'll grow into it.

Playtime turned into nap time

Sadie was playing on the play mat. And then she wasn't. Then it became nap time.

Taking responsibility

I was in the other room feeding Sadie while Belle and Emily are their dinner. When I walked into the dining room, I found this. Emily accidentally made a mess and Belle took it upon herself to clean it up.

Emily made a Valentine for Belle!

Alexa Fail

Emily said, "Alexa, play Arielle."
(Emily wanted to listen to the Little Mermaid).
Alexa heard, "play 'Area Code'" so Alexa played "Area Code" by Ludicrous the rapper. The first line of the song is, "I got hoes."
Oooops.

When Sadie won't let me put her down....

...I wear her!

Highlight of the day

Dancing along with the cast of last December's Hairspray LIVE!
