Mad Sadie

Sadie had her 4 month check up with Dr. Rosi yesterday. She is 11 lbs 15 oz (if she hadn't pee peed right before they weighed her she probably would've been 12lbs!) she is 24 inches long and her head is 15 3/4 inches. For hr head she is in the 25th percentile, height he is 45th percentile and weight she is the 12th percentile. Dr. Rosi said that she is growing well, she's a small little monkey but she looks good. Dr. Rosi also said we should start getting her used to spoons. To try giving her a bit of squash or sweet potatoes so she can feel a different texture in her mouth. I'm not sure I'm quite ready to stat her with the foods yet, but I will be getting her some rubber headed baby spoons to suck on and play with so she can become acquainted with them. Yesterday Sadie got some shots. She was so cute and cuddly and then they had to poke her and she got very upset. She was doing this super sad shriek-cry. It was awful. She cried and screamed for about 3-3 1/2 hours. I tried to nurse her, give her a bath, put her in her swing, cuddle her, we sat in the laundry room with the washer and dryer on...nothing worked. Finally, I guess she just decided she was done and from then on she was okay. About 20 minutes later she took a nap, woke up and she was fine. Today she seems better. Her leg is a big puffy, but she's alright. Anyhow. After Sadie went to bed last night, Adam and I moved our office into our bedroom and out of the dining area. So now we have an actual dining room. I am so excited. Adam closes tonight so we haven't had dinner in there yet (since we've moved it around) but I am looking forward to fun family dinners in there! Our room is a bit cramped now, but we don't spend much time in here anyways. I have read that it is "bad" feng shui to have electronics in your bedroom, supposedly it decreases the ability to get a restful night's sleep. I wonder if that is true. I tried not to think about it last night. I didn't want the power of suggestion to interrupt my sleep. Well, I hope everyone is well. We're supposed to have a yard sale this weekend, but the weather channel says it's going to rain. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that it won't rain until Sunday! Peace. Loves

My Poor Sadie, What an awful experience that must have been!!!! I am gld you are feeling better though. I am sure it was horrible for mommy too. It's hard when nothing soothes them. I am glad to see you are growing. You are our sweet, petite girl. I will see you guys tomorrow when I bring over the bookshelf. I am looking forward to seeing the changes in the apartment.

Love,

GiGi

Sadie darling, I wish I could kiss your "boo boo" and make all the hurt or faint rememberance of hurt go away, but I am sure momma and daddy have done this already.

You keep putting up a fuss when you hurt and know your parents will be there to make it all better.

We love you big, mama and papa
