Sadie says...

...the funniest, no grossest, stuff.

"Sometimes at bedtime I get hungry so I eat my earwax." (Seriously?)

Sno Beach

Sadie has been in preschool 5 days a week all summer while I have been working, so we have not done as many fun summer activities as we did last year during the week. So, I decided to take her to Sno Beach for a snow cone after school the other day. It was in the 90's and sunny, perfect snow cone weather. Cashion was along for the ride and didn't seem to mind. I was so surprised that Sadie ate the whole thing! She usually takes a few bites of a treat and then is done, but this seemed to hit the the spot. She chose a combination of (sugar-free) pink lemonade, fruit punch and cherry.

Hook 'Em

Singing

I love these moments when Sadie is busy doing something and she thinks nobody is listening.

Hey Cupcake

Sadie did such a good job at the pediatrician's office this afternoon when she had to get a couple of shots that we headed to Hey Cupcake afterwards. Sadie and I enjoyed this enormous red velvet one with cream cheese frosting and whipped cream. Yum!

Dress-up

I have been wondering when Sadie will really start to get interested in playing dress-up and it seems now may be the time. Today she pulled out all of her pajamas and starting putting them on. She needed some help, but hey, why not work on dressing skills while we're playing? (My occupational therapist friends are giggling right now.)

Does anyone else think she looks like Joey from "Friends" when he puts on everything the Chandler owns? At least she's not going commando.

'stache

Gotta love Toy Joy.

The words her Daddy likes to teach her

Miss Hollywood

New tricks

Sadie shows off her new gymnastics skills and her favorite game...pretending to sleep.

Cookie Monster

Sadie had her first taste of a Girl Scout Cookie today...thin mint. She devoured it meticulously and completely. Here is the end result.

Ta-Da!

Watch this first...

...for full costume effect!
It might be hard to guess, but she is a bubble bath with rubber ducky accessories.

Halloween

Our neighborhood had a block party on Halloween, so that worked out great for Sadie. She got to show off her costume and see her friends in theirs. This video is after she has shed some of her accessories and decides that she needs a little rest.

The Pre-Halloween Costume

Sadie was invited to a costume party for Hannah and Macey Highsmith's birthday on Sunday. Since I wasn't prepared to create 2 versions of the upcoming Halloween costume, we did a little improvising for the party. Mom and I had found the cutest green hat with a bumble bee on it when we were in South Carolina in May. So, I found a red tutu to act as the flower petals to go with it. She was so cute and was willing to wear it for the whole party after I showed her how cute she looked in the mirror. In the video, you can see her sign "flower" and point to her ear when she hears a noise. Her "hi" and "bye" are pretty good, too.

Dancing Queen

Now that Restaurant Week is officially over and we have moved back home (thanks mom and dad for housing us and keeping Sadie), I can get back to blogging. We have had a busy couple of weeks, with Dana and Ian in town for Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary. Here is a clip of Sadie dancing to the Fabulous Chevelles at the party (it is a little dark, but still worth the viewing.)

Jewelry

I meant to post this when it happened, but time got away from me. When Gramps and Mimi (Mike and Wendy) were visiting from London last week, we had the opportunity to go hear some Bluegrass at Artz Rib House. Sadie loved the music and found a new way to accessorize. Check out the Onion Bangles.

This and that

Sadie went for her 15 month (yes, I know she will be 16 months in 4 days) well-check today. 5 shots later, she was not too happy with us. But, the nurse practitioner who saw us when they couldn't find our appt on the books, was great. Sadie warmed up to her when she gave her some time. Then, boom the nurse comes in with the needles and there goes the rapport (Stacy, I don't know how you do it.)

On a happier note, she felt fine most of the day and Daddy had a little fun with Sadie and his socks before bedtime.

Funny

Sadie is so silly. Sometimes on purpose and sometimes it is just a happy accident. She has had a runny nose all week and has learned how to wipe her own nose, well sort of. Yesterday, she decided that her doll also needed her nose wiped (oh and her plastic hair combed.) On the not so deliberate side of silliness, she was trying to blow on her food at dinner to cool it off like we do and she accidentally shot a piece of macaroni out of her mouth and across the table at the restaurant.

The giggles

Don't you just love it when kids get the giggles over nothing in particular? This video was taken just after we got home this afternoon to find Daddy already here.
