Eight Months


 This baby girl is eight months old!  She started really rolling all over this month and is so close to crawling.  She loves to stand up with our help and see the world around her.  She loves to be outside and to be on the swings at the park.  She loves to eat and hit the 20 pound mark this month.  The only food she doesn't like so far is bananas.  Everything else she munches right up.  She loves to read books and is very good at turning the pages for us.  At night when we get home from work we go outside in the backyard with Noodle. Sadie loves to feel the grass and watch mommy and daddy run around when we play with Noodle.  After dinner, we go on a walk and Sadie loves to watch the wind blow through the leaves up high on the trees.  Sadie just popped her third tooth and is still biting on everything!

Sadie's First Swim

The warm weather continued and so we decided that it was time for Sadie's first swim!  Grandpa Rhine heated up the jacuzzi and we had a pool party!  With the BBQ going and Sadie in the cutest swimwear it felt like a summer day!  

Sadie was nervous at first when the baubles were on, but once they turned off, she was a little fish!  She loved being in the water and kicked her legs as she swam around.  I can see that this is going to be our weekend every day this summer and I can't wait!

Family Day Out

Mid March was super warm and we wanted to take full advantage of it!  We spent a Sunday down at Seaport Village and on the Embarcadero.  Sadie loved looking at all the people who were out and about too.  We spent a long time laying in the grass watching all the kites in the sky.  Sadie was really interested in the kites and Adam can't wait to fly one with her soon.  Sadie picked out a new toy in an expensive tourist toy store and these sucker parents gave in.  If we can't hold back now...I see trouble in our future.

We're so lucky to live in such a beautiful city and have such nice weather and it's so much fun to spend days like this out as a family.






Seven Months!


Sadie is seven months old!  She grew and changed a lot this month.  Sadie attended a fancy baby shower and got this new special dress to wear.  I think she was the hit of the party in such a fancy party dress.

She is rolling really well now and learning more and more how to use her voice.  She has learned to make a really loud screeching scream.  But she can also say Ma Ma.  Even though she's not saying it to me...I still love hearing her say it.

Sadie loves to eat and seems to love every new food that we are trying.  She loves to go anywhere and everywhere and look at all the people around her.  She gives everyone big smiles and gets lots of smiles back.

Sadie can sit up well enough to sit up in the bath tub and so she learned to really splash with her hands and feet while in the tub. She loves it and we get all wet!  It doesn't make bath time a relaxing before bed experience, but it sure is fun.





Seven Month Cuteness

This month Sadie just kept getting cuter and cuter!  We enjoy every day and every moment with this precious little girl.

Testing out the new rug.

In the cutest sweater and special polar bear shoes. We did have a "rain storm" this month and this little one was properly dressed.
But mostly it was sunglasses weather.


Perfect for swinging in the park.

Taking selfies with dad.

Reading the list at the grocery store.

Petting Noodle.



And of course getting ready for Easter.

Six Months Old


This little baby is six months old! She is a really happy girl and we feel so blessed that she is (for the most part) sleeping through the night and is mostly smiles, giggles and laughter.  She loves to be tickled and kissed and we love tickling and kissing her!  She's just a joy to be around all the time!

She is eating lots of food and likes everything we give her.  But so far the thing she has enjoyed the most was strawberries.  One taste and she wanted more right away! She has two cute little teeth on the bottom and still loves and bite and chew on everything she can get into her mouth.

We had a little six month birthday party with Sadie's grandparents and the big activity was going in a swing in the park for the first time.  Sadie wasn't so sure what to think about it.  But we've  been back and now she knows that she likes it for sure.  The last time we were there, another baby who was 11 months old was swinging next to her.  Sadie just watched with amazement at what that other baby was doing. We think she had no idea that she was also on a swing doing the same thing.  When we were walking to the park, I got the hiccups.  And when I turned to Sadie and hiccuped, she thought it was the funniest thing she had ever heard and laughed so hard!  Hearing her laugh just never gets old.

Sadie's Starting Solids

Not only did Sadie get a tooth in mid-January, but she's eating real food! Well, sort of.  She started with rice cereal in January 4th.  She wasn't to sure about it, but eventually got some into her mouth.



Next up was carrots which she really wasn't into until the third time we tried it.  


And peas.  Which were a hit day one and have gotten to be less interesting every day since.


We're excited to keep trying new foods as it's so fun to watch Sadie's reaction. We're also working on getting more food into her mouth and a little less on her face  :o).

World's Cutest Baby

It's official.  We are those parents who are so obsessed with their baby.  But we have a really good reason. She is soooo cute.  My Aunt Karolyn made us this wonderful soft and fluffy photo blanket and we were finally able to get our little model onto it for some photos.

And what we got was proof that we have the world's cutest baby.
