7 Months
Sadie,
(Photo taken at home on Sunday. SOOC, save for a teensy bit of cropping).
un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept. SEPT (pronounced ‘set’). You are seven months old already!! Where, oh where, does time go? In light of your 7 month birthday having come and gone already, I’d like to record some new ‘talents’ you’ve mastered in the last...
A lovely conversation before bed last night...
Daddy: It smells like poop in here.
Me: I know, right?! Did we change a dirty diaper somewhere and forget to throw it away??
Daddy: Who knows, you probably hid it somewhere. (Commenting on my mad organizational skillz...)
Me: Whatever, I would have thrown it away.
Daddy: Seriously, it stinks in here!! Your daughter's got a stinky butt.
Me: Oh, she's my daughter when we're talking about her stinky poo.
Daddy: Yep, everything below the equator is from you. I can only take credit for things below the ankles. (Her feet). Poor girl has my feet.
Ah, to be parents!! ;)

Dear Readers,
Miss Sadie had an awesome week this week. I think it’s thanks to all her fabulous, new followers. Which, no doubt, came from fantastic placement in the Parenting Directory by some really awesome Mommas (and Mommas-to-Be)!!!
So, thanks, thanks, and more thanks to Melissa of Dear Baby, Kimmy of Baking a Sweet Baby Cupcake, Abbie of Lady of Leisure DC, and “5 other...
WatchThe cuteness that is Sadie when she eats. :) I think she’s got that whole “open wide” concept down, and then some!!!

Oh my gosh. Her cheeks in that last pic!!! There are no words. My ovaries are going crazy right now :)
Honey, if you like baby cheeks…my kid can deliver!! :)
Special Moment of the Day
Sadie,
When you woke up from your afternoon nap, Mommy came in to get you out of your crib. Since you still looked a little groggy, I decided to scoop you up and hold you in the rocking chair for a bit while you finished waking up.
While you were on my chest, you looked up at me, pulled your pacifier out of your mouth and tried to put it in Mommy’s mouth. The curious and generous look...
Sadie,
Today shall be re-named “Poop Sunday.” Why, you ask? Well, because every diaper today was a poopy diaper. Every. single. one.
Guess it’s all this new food in your belly?! ;)
Love,
Mom
Toys, What Toys? (Numero Trois)
Apparently, the remote is quite tasty!! :)
And so, that was your Sunday, my dear. Quite fun indeed!
Love,
Mom
Toys, What Toys? (Part Deux)
As with anything else these days, you had your fun with the jewelry and spit it out, so to speak. And so you moved on to the camera lens cap. ;)
Yum!
Ok, so this photo doesn’t actually include the lens cap, but gah…those eyes. I just couldn’t resist!!!
Here’s to workin’ on that pincer grasp!!
You were SO dang cute today….
Love,
Mommy
Toys, What Toys?
Sadie,
Today, you found more fun in simple things lying around the house than you did in your toys. I’ll just get to the pics to show you, since I’m so excited about having snapped some goodies!! :)
And so begins your fun with Mommy’s jewelry…
Jewelry’s fun!! (Mommy totally agrees!)
Is this is your “game face?!” You look like you mean business...
Sadie,
Here’s an interesting fact for you….According to Site Meter, people from all over the world like to read your blog!! They must think you’re just as cute as Mommy does (er, ok, probably not possible….but I bet they think you’re cute!)
Iceland
Canada
Australia
The United Kingdom
The Philippines
Brazil
Israel
New Zealand
Indonesia
How cool is that??? ...
goldenheart-jen asked: Hi! I have no idea how to reply to comments! Just wanted to say thank you!! :)
Thankful Thursday
Sadie,
Today, I am thankful to just be your mother. Yours, and no one else’s.
All my love,
Mom
neonsugar asked: when did you start using the bumbo? my baby boy is 2 1/2 months old and i've been dying to put him in his, but i'm afraid he might not be ready.
Sadie,
You have just learned to blow snot bubbles out of your nose. You must have learned this from Daddy. Such a “talent” would normally gross Mommy out, but when you do it, it’s just so darn cute. ;)
Love,
Mom
happinessiseva asked: What are your favorite/ "can't live without" baby products? I'm always on the lookout for recommendations.

Ok, since we got jipped last Tuesday, let’s try this again. Thanks a million to everyone who recommended us last week….but since the Tumblr-folk not-so-kindly removed us from the Directory, your recommendations were never used. :(
Wanna click again? Just for fun? And if it doesn’t work this week….I’ll be boycotting Tumblr Tuesday and receiving followers the old...

Wow! Adorbs family of the day/month/year/decade!!! This is why I love getting new followers….since the directory fails me, it’s my next best way to find awesome Mommy blogs. Yay!! :)
blairsings asked: Sadie is gorgeous. Like, dream baby gorgeous. I hope that one day when I have babies they're even half as adorable!! I love in the video where she keeps turning towards the camera and smiling. So sweet.
Sadie,
This is exactly why I love dinner-time with you.
Oh, and PSA to other Mommas out there….the suction-bottom bowls are no match for a curious (and strong) baby!!!
Love,
Mom
Another posterity post...
Sadie,
SInce I’m really having tons of fun introducing you to new foods, I thought I’d keep track of your likes and dislikes so far. I think it’ll be interesting to see how a list like this compares to one you would write yourself when you’re older!! :)

Sadie,
You LOVE to push buttons too. This post from Melissa over at Dear Baby made Mommy smile. Except, you’re not near as much into the keyboard, as you are say the iPhone or the television remote. The warning screens that pop up on our TV when you get ahold of the remote are interesting, to say the least! Baby toys move over. You’re our next little “techie” in...
Sadie,
You were so stinkin’ cute this morning. So cute, in fact, that I just had to put you in this shirt….
Generally speaking, Mommy has tried not to buy too many of the kitschy slogan tees and onesies that have become so popular for babies. I’m less of a trendy kind of gal, and more into classic fashion (see Mommy’s wardrobe staples, including pencil skirts...

Sadie & I were loving on every single one of our new followers since Tumblr Tuesday and then they just had to go and screw up our chances for more.

I decided to take a stab at the whole two-different-blogs thing. It’s open for business now. So go take a looksy and let me know what you think (um, by clicking the follow button at the top corner of the page, of course. but only if you want. no pressure here). :)
nonsense response to a beautiful email
Dear Sadie,
I can only hope you find a love this rare. A girl is never too old or young, too innocent or mature, to love and be loved like this.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Love,
Mom

This Will Be Yours
Sadie,
Daddy bought me this lovely ring. It’s in your honor. The center stone is, of course, your birthstone. I am proud to wear it every. single. day. Every time I look down at it, I see you. And your Daddy. And my heart fills with joy.
After I wear it for a few years, with love and admiration, I plan to pass it on to you as your first real piece of jewelry. I cannot wait. I...

Are Two Blogs Better Than One?
Ok, so if I were to add a personal blog to my Tumblr account, this might be what I’d write in the sidebar:
Tales of an only *slightly* crazy Momma, Wife, or Woman (depending on the story or the day). I have a boy’s name, but spell it like a girl (Andie-with-an-ie). I’m sarcastic. I like sweets. I hate veggies. And fruits. Love me some pasta. Wait…this isn’t...
