Sadie's One Month Old

It's so hard to believe that our little baby is one month old already.  This month has been a crazy blur for us. And it's amazing to see how much Sadie has changed in just one month.  We want to thank our parents for being so helpful during this first month.  We don't know what we would have done without you!   Thank you also to all our friends who gave us advice, brought us food and showered Sadie with so much love. We feel so lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives.

Remember Noodle

Noodle has had a hard time adjusting to our new life.  Suddenly we were gone for four days and we came back with a noisy little person who takes all of our time.  She's adjusting by sleeping really close to us at night and being as cute as possible to distract us from Sadie.

Knocking all the baby bottles out of the cupboard.

Just being so darn cute.

Sadie's First Trip

At just three weeks old, Sadie went on her first road trip.  My friend Bridget got married in northern California and I was determined to get there.  I was feeling very confident as my mom and I started out on our 8 hour drive.  And about 2 hours into the trip...I was wondering if we should turn back.  

Sadie would wake up and in 30 seconds be screaming her head off while we frantically tried to find a freeway exit that was more than just a corn field.  It took 11 hours, and I think my mom and I both probably grew a few gray hairs, but we made it.  My aunt Kathy lives in Modesto and took us all in for a few days. Once we were there Sadie had a great time with her Grandma and Great Aunt Kathy and I had a great vacation from changing any diapers!  

Adam flew up on Friday to be with us and Sadie got to meet our friends Pam and Joni who graciously picked Adam up from the airport.

Sadie attending her first wedding and did very well.  She didn't cry during any speeches and Adam learned what a "chick magnet" having a darling baby is at a wedding.  On the way home we stopped in LA to visit a few more good friends which made it easier to break up the drive back into 2 days.  Although we made it, I think that was my first and last road trip with a newborn.

Sadie's First Professional Photo Shoot

When Sadie was just one week old, we had some professional photos taken of her. We just LOVE them. Here are a few of them:

When you're brand new to this world, there sure are a lot of firsts.  And when your Dad buys a new camera to celebrate your arrival, there are photos of everything!  Here are a few of Sadie's "Firsts".
