BIG news

This is how we've been feeling lately

Sick and tired of no #2

Well, we are sick and tired no more!!!
We have never been so happy to change a diaper.
I danced around while chanting "poop party" and giggling.

Sadie feels surprised, but relieved that Poop Watch '09 has concluded

Oh. Daniel got a new job too. So long cougars, bring on the green!

Poop Watch 2009

A few weeks ago when I so rashly declared "no more appointments until she is 2 months old!" I didn't anticipate the great event of September-- Poop Watch 2009. No poop since August 31st.

Doing her part- pushing

I called the pediatrician today to get some advice and they had me bring Sadie in just to make sure there is nothing wrong with her. Nothing wrong; in fact, she is the most healthy she has ever been. She jumped up to the 18th percentile for weight (up from 12th 2 weeks ago) and she has grown almost 2 inches since birth. Just no poop!

Some day it will happen and when it does we will have a party.

Firsts..

With a newborn baby there really are firsts every day.
Here are a few from this week:

First time sleeping in her crib. It would appear she enjoyed the extra room.

First time wrestling a dinosaur. She lost. Badly.

First time snuggling up in her fuzzy elephant blanket. It is now her favorite.

Finally, her first BYU football game. Here she is cheering with her dad.

Tummy Time: A Photo Essay

Can't say she loves it; can't say she hates it. She survives it.

She can also be cute though...

We love her

Angry

Awesome #2
Drunk

Awesome #3She slips that finger into as many pictures as possible

Awesome #4
Lazy. She loves to sleep like this.
She immediately kicks off any blanket we put over her.

4 Weeks Old

Some updates on Sadie:

1. No more doctor's appointments until she is 2 months old! She is now 7 lbs 9 oz (4 oz above her birth weight) and steadily climbing the weight percentile charts (up to the 12th percentile!)

Her hungry face

2. She met her grandpa, uncle, and 2 aunts (only one grandpa, 3 aunts, and 2 uncles left to meet)

3. She continues to give us attitude.

In the sweatshirt Hillary brought her directly from Italy. Look closely at her fingers.

4. Went for her first swim!

She cried, then spit-up, and then peed in the pool.

She did love lounging by the pool in her stylish terrycloth apparel

5. Said good-bye to her friend Hunter.

She was torn up inside while Hunter tried to comfort her

6. We almost caught her smile on camera during her bath!

The very beginning of her smile. Instead, she looks crazy.
