1. She is just as wiggly and jumpy as Sadie was. They both have shown a preference for one of my ribs in particular. Sadie started the process of dislodging it when she was in utero and her sister is determined to finish the job. If you have ever been repeatedly kicked in the ribs by a tiny, pointy foot then you know that it hurts so badly it can induce vomiting.
2. While Sadie takes after her father and likes to be a little early for her appointments, little sister is already taking after me and doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get out of her cozy little water bath. Sadie was 9 days early. I was hoping this one would come even earlier but that date has come and gone. Oh well.
3. I won't be sure until she is born but I'm pretty sure she has choreographed a routine that she practices nightly. It's pretty advanced and invloves lots of turning, twisting, booty shaking and while I can't be sure, I'm thinking she is singing too.
That is about all I know for now but I will keep everyone informed. Okay, onto the pictures!!
With Sadie's 2nd birthday (crazy!!) coming up soon I have been trying to get a really cute picture of her for her b-day invitations (which probably won't happen this year, but that's ok) So I came up with the wonderful idea of taking her to the park and snapping some pictures while Robby was at work. It started out ok as you can see ....
I looooove baby rompers (not adult rompers...I can't get on board with that) and Sadie has about a billion of them. I got some cute pictures but didn't get any great ones of her tiny precious face. Shortly after this picture was taken she took off running and I had to chase her. This was bad for two reasons. 1. She is freakishly fast for something so small. 2. I was 8 months pregnant and unable to move quickly.
I finally caught her and we left shortly afterward with a new plan...no more outings without another adult present.
I wanted everyone to get a look at that hair. We are having mullet issues with this child. We have cut her bangs a few times but other than that she has never had a hair cut and I am thinking it's about time for one. The back grows a lot faster than the sides so she has a natural mullet. It's also really fine and there is one portion in the back that is ALWAYS fuzzed, tangled and sticking straight up. We have tried everything to smooth is down but I think the only fix is to wait it out and let her hair grow longer and get a touch heavier. I need to consult a professional though (Yes, Linsye, I mean you.)
Anyone who knows Sadie knows that she LOVES her pink crochet blankets. She also has a white one that had been folded up and put with the rest of her baby blankets. Well, when I pulled them all out to fluff and wash for the new baby she found her white blanket and was very excited.
Funny face girl!! I don't know what shocked her so deeply.
I had no plans to post any pictures of myself because I'm not a big fan of how I look pregnant but it was too precious a moment to not share. We wanted to prepare Sadie as much as possible for the new baby which is not easy with an almost 2 year old. She loves books so I found a sweet book about becoming a big sister. She loves it and wants to read it over and over again. She doesn't understand that Mommy has a baby in her tummy but she knows what a baby is and she understands that she is the big sister (even though she doesn't know what that means yet) She will sing the words BIG SISTER!!!
Our book routine is that Robby or I will read it to her once then she will read it to us 4 or 5 times. Her memory is pretty good and she remembers a few of the words we say depending on the picture. I think we have a book lover on our hands (yeah!!!)
Oh yeah, I'm 28 now. I know I should say something snarky about being two years away from 30 but I am excited about this stage of my life so I am more than happy to be closer to 30 than 20!!
Robby wanted to surprise me with a cookie cake but since that was all I asked for he wasn't able to make it much of a surprise. Since me and my girls are all June babies I thought three cakes was too much for one month so I will only have cookie cakes from now on, which works great for me because while I enjoy cake I LOOOOOVE cookies!
Nana and Duke sent Sadie an e-card of a puppy talking with their words. It was sweet albeit a little creepy. Sadie enjoyed it a great deal though and wanted to watch it over and over again.
Since it gets so hot so early in Lubbock we have spent quite a few afternoons in the play center at the mall (before I had kids I said I would NEVER let my child play in that germ infested cess pool...ahh I was such a good parent before I had a kid) She loves it as you can see and we enjoy staying nice and cool while she plays.
Her little backyardigan pals enjoyed the slide as well.
That is about all I can do today. I was going to try and get two blogs up in one sitting but I am exhausted. I've been up since 5 so I think it is time for a mid-morning nap. I apologize again for the lack of Sadie commentary but I am confident she will be back soon.
Have a great day!
