4 Month Check-Up

Well Sadie turned 4 months on Sunday. I wanted to wait until her doctors appointment today before I posted about it so I could share her growth.

She is 25 inches and in the 75% percentile for height.
She weighs 14.8 pounds putting her in the 73rd percentile for weight.

Here are two pictures of her at her doctors appointment today.




Did she start out on her tummy. Certainly not. She was originally on her back with her head on the pillow. But she rolled and turned while she was in the process of flapping her legs and arms on the paper so she could get it to make the crinkle sound.

She was quite pleased with herself and happy to be in a position to eat the paper.

The doctor was AWESOME. I started Sadie on Rice cereal on Monday and was nervous that I would be berated by the doctor for not waiting until 6 months. Had we been in Oregon with a "hippy" doctor I would have. But she actually said it was a great idea since Sadie spits up so much. Sweet!

So here is our littlest one, proving to be not so little anymore. While I'm proud of her growth and strength, (the doctor was so surprised at how in control she was) I still wish she would take her time growing up.

Wesley Just Has All the Luck

However, I didn't specify whether it was good luck or bad luck.

You can decide.

Sadie Loves Her Big Sister

My New Scarf

So I just learned how to crochet over Christmas Break, as previously mentioned.


While I was at my mom's she gave me two skeins of red yarn. I knew right away what I would do with it...




Please forgive my cheesy posing. It's the best I could do with a self timer and my six year old helping me. :)

But I just love my scarf! Maybe it's because I spent so much time on it.

That's my theory about most things. The more time you put into it, the more you love it. :)

Poor Wesley

It started off as a normal night.

We had dinner, the kids put on their pajamas, I fed Sadie, I read the kids their books, and then while Jared was reading me a book,

THIS HAPPENED!!!

Poor Wesley

Ps. That is a nervous laughter smile. He is actually thinking, "Why did my wife just get the camera when I asked for a towel?"

Such is life.

Recent Events

Jared shot off his rocket.

Wesley broke yet another chair. (It's happened twice now.) :)

Novalee went on timeout.

And I learned a lesson: Timeouts in room+Novalee=Bad Idea.

My Girls

This one graduated after two and a half years in nursery to Sunbeams. I can't believe it.



Isn't she so cute? All covered in snow. She is our nature girl. She loves being outside and getting dirty.

My mom says that when I was a little girl my favorite thing to do was to get dressed up in my finest dress and go outside and play in the mud.

I kind of like that Novalee is like that too.

And Sadie. What am I going to do with her? She is so sweet and SO SPOILED. :)


They are both growing up too fast in my opinion.

Just to be fair my next post had better be about Jared, who we love just as much. :)
