What's New?


What's new with Sadie now that she is 11 months old?

*She is walking everywhere and is getting to be quite speedy on her feet.

*She loves to eat and now eats most table foods. She has 7 teeth.

*Books are so fun! Sadie will happily spend long periods of time "reading" her books. She especially likes books with flaps to lift up and see what is underneath.

*We are hearing lots of babbling, with a few words. She calls Dan "Da-Dee" and Ann "Da-Da". Her cup of milk is "muh muh". She points and says "Dat!" (that). Sometimes she says "Hi" and "Bye". She is beginning to repeat us when we say something.

*Lots of hand motions: waving, clapping, pointing, rolling fist over fist (from the 5 Little Pumpkins Rhyme), "open shut them" and more. We're working on holding 1 finger up for "how old are you?"

*We are seeing a little bit of imitating our actions. She feeds her baby doll a bottle. She likes to hold her plastic phone up to her ear.

*A new game is that she picks up a toy and brings it to one of us or offers us some of her food.

*Everything is fun! Sadie loves to explore her world, especially checking out grown up things, like a basket of napkins, car keys and anything else interesting.


*She is starting to give hugs.

We love her more and more every day!

I like playing the game of "recognize the items around Sadie" with all of your pictures. Is that a crockpot in the top one?

7 teeth!!!! Wow.

I love the *monkey see, monkey do* game over here also. Jack is getting to be quite accomplished at it. (Ummm, except that I think he is saying words babies shouldnt say!) LOL

Is she dancing yet? That one is the best.
