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
