I never seem to have an overall theme for blog posts lately. I just kind of spit out a bunch of random stuff. I am too impatient to split things up into different posts. So here is some stuff that has happened lately.
1. Daniel called me at work the other morning to tell me that Sadie had picked up a cup of water (just a little water I left within her reach) and dumped it over her head. I wasn't too surprised though, given the fact that she does this with any dish I give her free reign over.
2. I got a painting for my birthday and it came in this cool tube. Daniel thought the tube was was especially cool and got both of his arms stuck while playing with it. When he first got his hands stuck he declared I was going to have to saw the tube in half. Instead, I took a picture and despite the fact that he looks like he is smiling, he was legitimately mad at me. Seriously. He yelled at me. Fortunately, all it took was me holding the tube steady in the middle and he could pull his arms out. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
3. I can't remember if I ever blogged about it, but if anything is blog-worthy, this is it. Sadie is now in a big-girl forward-facing car seat, and loving it.
4. We won the Pleasant Grove co-ed softball league championship this week. So even though I struck out looking to end the tournament loss last week, we still came back and won all 3 games this week. I got a decent opposite-field hit, which I was excited about since the other team brought their 2 female outfielders to just behind left infield every time I was up and I had been robbed of 2 decent bloop hits. I also played horribly in right field. Daniel yelled like a proud coach/parent when I finally appeased him and went opposite field.
5. Sadie is terrified of the vacuum. The we stuck Sadie in the corner of the couch with the little push toy she had been playing with while we were vacuuming. She did not move a muscle until that vacuum was out of sight.
6. Sadie (and Daniel) love to snuggle while she drinks her milk before bed. She also loves to grab Daniel's nose as she drinks.
7. See the bench next to the ottoman? Sadie finally realized she could use it to climb on things. On this day she climbed on the ottoman and just stepped off, fully confident that I would catch her, which I kind of did. Last Sunday Sadie stood on the armrest of the recliner and fell off onto her face. Literally- just landed on the side of her face. It swelled up a little. Sadie doesn't seem to have a sense of danger when it comes to playing on things that are 3 feet or so off the ground. I would not describe her as fearless because I don't think she recognizes that if she falls off it could hurt. One of her favorite things to do is run back and forth on the couch. We line the floor all along the couch with pillows and every time she falls off she just rolls off the pillow giggling. She has missed the pillows a few times but it didn't seem to bother her.
