Get in my Belly!

So I have been loving my rice cereal. Mom and Dad also introduced Oatmeal cereal and I love it too. I think I'm actually figuring the spoon out, although it's not quite as easy as a bottle. They take turns feeding me, and we make less and less of a mess each time. They even been giving me a little bit of 100% juice. Now that stuff is goo-oood!

Who do I look like?

When I was first born, no one really knew if I looked more like Dad or Mom (or some even said Uncle Brandon)... but after looking at these comparisons, I think it's clear. I may not look a whole lot like her now, but I sure look like her when she was a baby! What do you think?

Merry Christmas

My first Christmas was great. When I woke up santa had come. He brought me lots of great gifts. I got a Jenny jump up, clothes, rubber duckies, books and some jewelry. Then we went to Mamaws house and exchanged presents. I got an activity set, more clothes and a bunch of other cool things. I had a great day and can't wait to exchange gifts with uncle Brandon and aunt Betsy tomorrow.

What I love about you at 4 months...

Dear Sadie, my sweet girl, you are four months old today, and here's what I love about you...

  • that your hair is still blonde and your eyes still blue
  • that your hair is getting longer, and you are still hanging on to your long Charlie Brown hairs
  • letting you "stand" in my lap
  • that you have already had your first snow
  • doing "super Sadie"
  • that you look like me more and more every day
  • how you bury your nose in the crook of my arm when you're tired
  • that you give me a big smile and hug when I pick you up from daycare
  • that putting my hand on your chest or letting you hold my fingers calms you down when you're upset
  • that Grami and Grandpa take more pictures of you than I do
  • that you've seen Santa twice... and you didn't cry once
  • that you are so good at daycare and all the women love you there
  • that you love your bumbo seat
  • when you don't cry around family and friends
  • that you know who me and drew are and you'd rather be with us than anyone else
  • how I could listen to your babbling for hours on end (but I prefer not to at 2am)
  • that you are petite, but have barely there fat rolls
  • zerberting you to make you giggle
  • that you got to spend lots of time with family at Dad's family Christmas
  • when you calm down if I sing "you are my sunshine" to you
  • that Alabama won the SEC Championship, and you watched the whole thing
  • that you are awesome at holding your head up and looking around
  • how you are so close to rolling over (to your credit, we don't put you on your tummy enough - our bad!)
  • that you are photogenic
  • that in less than a week of eating off a spoon, you can actually get most of the rice cereal in your mouth
  • that we are about to celebrate our first Christmas together as a family
  • listening to you play with your "crinkle book" when we are in the car
  • how everyone says you are beautiful and adorable
  • how fast I can get you to sleep by holding you in my arms
  • your smiling face in the morning and watching you stretch when I unswaddle you
  • calling you "Sadiebug"
  • that we make you a part of everything we do... decorating the tree, shopping, lazy days at home
  • when you look up at me and stare into my eyes while I'm feeding you
  • your infectious, adorable smiles
  • that you sneeze twice at a time, like me
  • everything

Love, your mommy

Haven't quite mastered....

eating yet. I've spent four months drinking my meals and now all of a sudden they want me to eat off the spoon? Doc wants me to start eating some rice cereal at night to boost my calories, since I'm such a petite little girl. Let's just hope more is making it to my tummy than on my face!

Merry Christmas

We celebrated Christmas today with dad's side of the family. I got to meet a lot of new people, received a beautiful outfit from aunt Sharon, and met my cousin Bryce that is only 3 weeks older than I am. With me and Bryce in the family now, there are 28 of us on the Hall side. I've never been around that many family members at one time before... Mom was scared I would cry a lot but actually I was pretty great.

This picture was taken right before our big group family picture.
