5 months!

Colby, Courtney, Walker

Sadie & Walker

3 generations who have worn the christening gown

with Dr. Fiedler

Sadie's baptism went well. Our friends Courtney, Colby and Walker and my parents were able to come. Sadie was so good and just slept through most of the service.


Wow, I can't believe it has been 5 months since Sadie was born. She has changed so much. Here are some of the highlights:


  • eating solids. We had squash the other night for the first time and she loved it. she is a great eater and will eat her bottle right from the fridge. She can't seem to get enough food, drinking 6-8 oz at a time.

  • sleeping, wait for it, 12 whole hours now. That's right, she is sleeping from 7 to 6 or 7 pretty consistently now. It is heaven! (this is a 3 night trend so maybe consistent is the right word). The nighttime diapers seem to help too, I love them :)

  • smiling and laughing a lot. She loves her bouncer and to roll on the floor

  • she is trying to crawl, she sees an object and rolls towards it and then pushes her knees under her but to lift up. won't be long!

I wondered if I would survive the first 4 months with the crying and no sleep but she seems to have turned a corner. I am enjoying being home with her for now and watching her change and grow.

Yea! I love the new pics! The babies are so cute together! Congrats on the sleeping. Jack Man did not sleep through the night (meaning 8 hours at a time) until he was (In your words wait for it) 11 months old. I am so happy Sadie is not following his sleep habits! LOL She is beautiful! I miss you all! XOXOXO

She is so sweet! That's awesome that she is sleeping through the night, rolling and eating her veggies. Julianna isn't rolling and doesn't seem to like her veggies. Sadie needs to have a talk with my little J and tell her what she is missing out on :)

See you soon!

YEA!!! Hopefully, the sleeping will be much better. She just wanted to make it rough on you so you would truly enjoy the bliss of sleeping through the night.
