New Stuff

Sadie is 4 1/2 months and is learning so many new things! She has been trying really hard to sit up on her own, and today she was able to sit holding herself up with her arms. If she takes her hands off the ground she tips over, but she's getting closer!She has also started to suck on her bottom lip which causes her to make very silly faces!She's starting to respond to her name a little bit, but I think she's still really just responding to our voices. She's always very interested in the camera, so we can usually get her to look right at it when we take her picture.
She has really cut down on her naps... we can usually only get her down for about 30-45 minutes only about 3 times a day. She sleeps best in her swing, but sometimes falls asleep in funny positions...
I moved her hand out of her mouth only to have it end up in her ear.She and Miller are starting to be better friends. He does really well with her. Sometimes I have to remind him to Stay, but he keeps a close eye on her and makes sure she's doing OK.Here's her 4 month picture.
Some of her new things... a backpack from Great-grandma for Christmas.Her bouncy chair that lights up and plays music. She is also reaching and grabbing for things now so she can make it go all on her own. She still doesn't really bounce, but she likes playing with the toys on it.
Her first pair of shoes! Pink Chuck Taylors from Dad. She did NOT enjoy them. They are way too big on her now, so hopefully they will work a little better when she actually starts standing and walking.

Christmas Finally

Christmas Day we spent up at Frank's. We went to my mom's on Saturday the 2nd and spent the day with Mom, Stefanie, Grandma, and Sarah. On Sunday the 3rd, Dad and Stefanie came to our house. It worked out that Dominic and Kyle were able to join us for all 3 Christmases. We had a great holiday, and of course the best part was having Sadie with us for her very first Christmas.
