Back in business



Sorry for the weeks of no posting, but I am finally getting back in the swing of things. We stayed with Bebe and Papa for many nights during Restaurant Week and have been to 2 weddings, but now we are back home and in our routine again. Some things we have been up to:



Trying new hair styles -

Wearing the Chinese pajamas that Granny gave to Sadie (we all had the same ones growing up from when Pops worked in China and she kept some, isn't that cool?) -
And, apparently, eating dirt -

Check out how her hair stays in the pigtails without the rubber bands!
Anyway, we have had a busy few weeks and Sadie has been growing up fast. Her language has really taken off in the last month. She is talking all the time now in 3 and 4 word sentences that she creates her self (not repeats). She can pretty much as for anything she wants by using the correct words and has just started saying (instead of signing) "thank you" and "thanks." I am a little sad that she doesn't use her signs anymore, but it sure if fun to hear what comes out of her mouth. She is remembering people's names, too. She knows our next door neighbor, Lee, and says "Lee home" whenever we step outside. We met a little girl in our neighborhood last night, Ellie. After introductions, Sadie heard us talking about what the girls eat and asked, "Ellie hummus?" I think she was asking her if she liked it. Pretty amazing. I really don't want to be one of those obnoxious parents who thinks their kid is a genius, but I can't help it. So, better not read this blog if you are easily annoyed by gushing parents. 'Cause that's what your gonna get! Gush, gush, gush.
