One Month

Sadie is now a month old, and I'm in disbelief that 1 month has passed since her birth. It seems she has always been a part of our lives. She's calmed down quite a bit since we were at the hospital, which is good. She still cries way more than my other kids did, but I'm guessing she has to have this personality in order to get any attention around here. She's not a difficult baby; she just knows what she wants. As long as her tummy is full and her diaper is dry, she's pretty content.

I can tell she's grown A LOT. At 2 weeks she was 7 lbs. 11 oz., so I'm guessing she is at least a pound over that, if not more. You can tell when you look at her pictures that she is filling out.

She has a double chin in this one.

I like this picture. She is holding her finger up as if to say, "Excuse me. Waiter."


Sadie is a sweetheart. I wish I could hold her all day, but even with the oldest 3 kids in some form of school during the day, Ava lets me know that she will not be forgotten. We see a lot of this around here:This child is doing anything she can to get attention (mostly negative attention). We're seeing much more hitting, slamming doors, tantrums etc. The poor girl knows she has been dethroned. I'm trying really hard to give her tons of attention, but it doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy her. Oh well. This too shall pass.

Ella loves Sadie and wants to hold her 24/7.

And the boys love Sadie as well and also love to hold her. I don't have any pictures of them holding her, because they usually hand her back to me after about 30 seconds. They are just nervous about it. However, Noah is constantly saying, "Sadie is the cutest baby ever!" And, as soon as Andrew comes in the door from school, he's asking me how Sadie is doing. She is definitely a loved kid, even when she is up all night long.
