I can't even believe it's already been one month! Sadie turned one month this past Thursday, the same day Dominic turned 16! This picture didn't turn out great. That's supposed to be a tiara on her head since she is a princess, but it doesn't really look like one. She also wasn't thrilled about it, so she's kind of half asleep still.
Here's our four-generation picture from my dad's side. We still have to get one with mom and grandma. I was hoping to do that when everyone comes to visit from Minnesota in a few weeks. Maybe we can get both sets of daughters/granddaughters/great-grand-daughters together since Barb, Renee, and Jocelyn will all be there too.
Again, I don't know why this came out sideways. But Miller is pretty comfortable with her now. Still not sure what she is, but doesn't mind snuggling right up with her.
Isn't she cute?!
This was my birthday (the 12th). Thankfully none of it stuck!
She loves snuggling. She will fall asleep on our chests before anywhere else. This is how I usually have to let her fall asleep at night, and then attempt to lay her down without waking her.
Both my babies...
This is in her play pen. Play yard? Pack n' play? I don't know, it's still a play pen to me. She likes to just chill in there, but she doesn't sleep in it. It's next to our front window, and she seems to like the brightness outside.
Another preferred sleeping position is on her side. And she loves her boppy! I found her this morning in her crib on her side like this too. Too bad you have to put them to sleep on their backs - the only position that she doesn't seem to like.
She's become more fussy in the past few weeks. I don't think it's that bad, but Kevin says she's way worse than his boys were. The doctor gave us some samples of a different formula to try, so we'll see if that helps. At least even if it doesn't get better, it should only last a couple months. She's been spitting up quite a bit too, which makes it really hard for her to get to sleep at night. So now we've elevated her crib mattress so gravity can help keep her formula in her tummy. Last night was the first night we tried it. I laid her down on the raised side the last time we got up during the night, and this morning she had squirmed all the way down to the other side. I guess she just likes to do her own thing! I'm just really hoping for a somewhat routine sleep schedule by next week when I go back to work. I don't mind getting up with her in the night as long as I know she'll fall back to sleep right away.
She loves taking baths. I think she just likes being naked in general, but the bathtub is the only place she gets to be naked for very long.
Apparently if you don't use the flash in our bathroom, your baby looks like an Oompa Loompa!
I love all her expressions. I don't even remember what she was looking at that was so fascinating, it was just such a cute picture.
Everybody is getting ready for Christmas, even Miller!
Here's the view from our patio door onto the deck the morning of the blizzard. Yes, this was taken BEFORE it continued to dump 16 inches that day.
This is from Sadie's first parade. There was a Christmas parade going by only a short block away from our house, so we bundled up and walked down. She slept through the whole thing, so we just waited until the Big Cart went by and then we went home.
Sadie is really starting to work on sitting. Apparently Dad thinks that riding Miller will help with that!
She's starting to hold herself up pretty well in her Bumbo. At first she could hold her head up, but her body would slouch to the side. She really likes this Santa Claus, too. He's fiber optic so the lights change color.
She can sit pretty well in her Boppy, but usually doesn't really care for it.
Apparently she feels like learning how to crawl already too. Here she's leaning on the foot rest of the couch. She was able to notch her feet in the fold of the cushion, and almost launched herself off the end! Dad was watching her closely though. She's just so cute because she's watching the Packer game here... she really likes watching the TV. I think the 65 inches of light and motion make it pretty eye-catching!
