Yay me!

I'm sleeping through the night already! For the last week, I've slept 7-8 hours straight (roughly 10pm to 6am). Then I eat and then go back to sleep for another 3 hours! Mom and dad are so proud of me!

A new friend

Some of Grandpa and Grami's friends down at the beach gave me this doll this weekend. We watched the Bama game (and some of the Florida game) at their house and I was so tired by the end of the night that all I wanted was my new friend. Thanks Andy and Mary!

Baby Bling

So, mommy found her baby bracelet in her jewelry box and decided to give it to me! We aren't entirely sure who gave her the bracelet, maybe her Mamaw Lester, but it sure does look good on me! Thanks mom!

My baby is a month old!

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

  • How you wrinkle your forehead and raise your eyebrows when you stretch
  • How you reach for my hand when I put the paci in your mouth
  • How you raise your head and gaze into my eyes when you lay on my chest
  • The "drunk" look on your face when you get done feeding
  • Your snoring and heavy sleeping that is just like daddy
  • Kissing your chubby cheeks over and over again
  • Your fuzzy ear hair and the baby hair on your arms and back
  • Your fat rolls that are only going to get bigger
  • When you nuzzle up to my face when I'm trying to burp you over my shouder
  • When we can nap together
  • Watching you spasm in your sleep
  • The gulping sounds you make when you're feeding
  • How you stretch when you're waking up
  • Your long fingers how they wrap around mine
  • That when you're hungry it means you need me
  • That swinging on our porch swing instantly puts you to sleep
  • How you are so interested in staring at my face and fuss when I don't stare back
  • How you make daddy's heart melt
  • That you've already learned to use your own hand to hold your paci in
  • How you shake your head side to side when you don't want the paci
  • That your burps sound like they are coming from an adult
  • Seeing you snuggled up in your swaddler
  • How your eyes get heavy when you're tired
  • How you made everyone fall in love with you instantly

I'm sure there are a million more things that I love about you... this list is just getting started.

Love, your mommy

Bath Time

So, before my umbilical stump fell off, I had to have sponge baths. Let's just say I think more water ended up on the floor than on me! Then, when the stump fell off, Daddy started giving me baths in my baby tub in the kitchen sink. Those also didn't work so well because the faucet was in the way. Now we've moved on to putting the baby bath in the adult bathtub. We all think that this works much better (and is less clean up for mommy!) When it's over, I like to snuggle up in my ducky robe. Life is good.
