sweet potato

Something new

This weekend flew by. Saturday I was off, but Adam had to work. Sadie and I hung out, ran errands and I met with the Avon rep and got set up with my stuff. So, I am officially an Avon rep. Anyone that wants to buy or sell Avon PLEASE let me know! Today was a long day. Sadie was up a lot last night, Adam had to be to work at 6 am and I went to my Dad's to have a yard sale so we've been up since about 5 am. I'm not sure why she was up so much last night. Maybe she is about to go through another growth spurt. Anyhow, the yard sale was alright. We only made like $13 and I still have a bunch of stuff I'd like to get rid of. It was cold this morning, so I bundled Sadie up really well and she seemed to be fine. She was so cute in her winter clothes. Adam finished with work about 10am so he came over to my Dad's and helped us out. We thought we'd get some traffic after noon, from the after church crowd. Unfortunately we were wrong! That's okay though, at least we sold some stuff. After the yard sale Adam, Sadie and I came back home and I cleaned up a bit and took a shower. We had a one day, 70% off coupon for JC Penney, so we went there and got Sadie a super warm winter outfit. We also went to Toys r us and looked at high chairs. Now that we have a real dining room we can get whatever size high chair we want. Everything is so cute, it's hard to decide. We didn't really see anything we were crazy about (price). That's okay, Sadie has her bumbo and she should be fine in that for at least a month or 2. We ran by publix to get cereal and then we came home and cooked dinner. Tonight Sadie got to try sweet potatoes for the first time. Dr. Rosi had said we should start getting Sadie used to the texture of food and the spoon. She said Sadie probably would eat or swallow, but it's good to get her accustomed. We decided to try it out. She actually ate some of her potatoes! when I first put her in her bumbo we were eating and she was getting bored so she was having a temper tantrum (see the pic!) so then i put a little taste of potato in her mouth and she totally stopped and as all into eating. She was actually opening her mouth a little and swallowing! Obviously this is new for her, so she was making a bit of a mess, but I was so excited for her. Well, back to work. This will be a bit of a long week, but hopefully a good one. I am super sleepy and Sadie just went down before I started this, so I am going to get some nice, wonderful sleep. Peace. Loves.
