Sweet Sadie

Well, it's the end of another wonderful weekend with our Sweet Sadie. Sunday nights are bittersweet. Bitter because I have to go back to work on Monday morning and sweet because I have a Sadie fix to get me through the week! :)

Sadie was so good this weekend. There was hardly a time when she wasn't smiling. She started this thing last week that when she gets really tired she talks alot...ALOT! We first mistook this as she was ready to play some more, but quickly learned that was not the case when she had the most horrible fit late Thursday evening. So this weekend we knew not to pick her up from her crib when she started talking really loud into the monitor. It does break your heart that you can't go in there and play with her. After about 5 minutes though she goes to sleep....such a good girl.

She has now officially rolled over from her back to her tummy. Daniel went to get her out of her crib yesterday morning and she was on her tummy. We know this must have only happened by accident as she still is not fond of being on her belly, though not due to a lack of trying on her mommy's part!!! She doesn't seem to be teething as much anymore...less drool and less chewing on things. So we're not sure what is up there. We let her have her first taste of rice cereal last Saturday, and she doesn't know what to think about it. We gave her some more yesterday and same thing. She kinda likes the first couple of bites, but after that she quickly grows tired of it and doesn't want anymore to go in her mouth. So we aren't pushing it. I just don't think she's ready quite yet. She loves watching tv. I know, I know, it is supposed to hinder a baby's development. Well, I don't know if we're abnormal in this area or what, but we ALWAYS have the tv on, whether we are watching it or not, and Sadie will break her neck trying to look at it. So we decided today we would get her a Baby Einstein video for 3 month olds (we have a couple of DVDs for 6 month olds and we would hate to use those before we are supposed to :). Anyway, at first we didn't think she liked the new DVD, but she soon was talking to the tv and even laughing and kicking her legs in response to some of the images. It was so intriguing to watch what she responded to...she actually had a preference for some images over others. Quite the revelation for Mom and Dad!

Other than that, she's still just our Sweet Sadie. We didn't do alot of anything this weekend because Daniel has a bit of a cold...probably the same thing Sadie and I have had for a couple of weeks. So hopefully our own SuperDAD will be feeling better soon because we hate seeing him not his energetic self. We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
