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
