One and a Half

Sadie is 18 months old today, so she is now one and a half. Her language development is amazing. It's hard to believe that our little tiny baby, who was just learning to sit up at this time last year, is talking to us. Every day, she says something new or funny. She is combining words now, like "Daddy shoes!", "More cereal!" and "My sandals!".



She likes to name everything she sees and if she says something, she definitely sees it, so we look around and she's always right. A couple of weeks ago we were at the Coop talking to some friends and Sadie kept saying "kitty!" and making her cat noise, which sounds like "reow". We didn't see any cat at the store, so we weren't sure what she was talking about, but she was insistent. Finally, we realized she was looking at a box of kitty litter illustrated with a cat.

She loves to ask for the "ceet!" (receipt) whenever we buy groceries or anything else.



Another recent development is hair. It is no longer true that Sadie is bald. Her hair is still sparse, but she does have some. It's coming in a very light brown/dark blonde, so it's hard to see it in pictures. It curls up in the back. Very cute.

Happy one and a half, Little Sadie! We love you. Love, Mama and Daddy.
