Leetle Babuski: Babuski Updates

Here are just a few random updates...

Sadie was busy pooping her diaper tonight and I asked her if she wanted to go on the big girl potty. She ran into the bathroom and grabbed her potty seat

but by this time she was done pooping in her diaper and we told her it was too late, so she decided to try it out as a hat instead.

She got tired of asking us to read her story books so she climbed up on the rocking chair, snuggled in with Boo and Blanky and "read" to herself for several minutes. This coming from the child who rarely, if ever, plays by herself now that Lilianna is here. It was pretty cute.

As of July, Sadie hated the slide at the playground. Well, not anymore. We went to the playground a few days ago and Sadie LOVED the slide and the bouncy car. She sat and bounced that thing all by herself. Here she is going down the slide.

She also loves being pulled around the yard on her tractor. Daddy rigged it up one night with Shelby's leash and pulled her around. Now she begs to be pulled around every time we go out to play. Shelby thinks it's exciting too because she thinks she's going for a walk every time she sees her leash. :)

Sadie HATES having anything stuck to her that she can't get off. She particularly hates bandaids. Thankfully we haven't had need of many, but I did have to put one on her toe the other day because she scraped it and it was bleeding. She did everything in her power to push that thing away while I was putting it on and wouldn't stop crying, so we had to cover her foot with blanky and watch some cartoons to keep her mind off of it. A little while later, thinking she'd probably forgotten it, I went to get Lilianna out of bed (something Sadie ALWAYS helps with) and Sadie stayed on the couch, fussing because she was pretty sure she couldn't walk on that foot with the bandaid on it. Hilarious!

The other day she was in the office with Daddy and he was refilling the ink cartridge for the printer when she decided she needed to help. She got ink all over her fingers and all of a sudden I hear her crying hysterically. Yep, you guessed it, she couldn't get it off her fingers. Here's a little of the commotion.

Lilianna is growing like a little weed. She's gaining an average of a pound a week so far and weighs in at a whopping 11 lbs already and she's not even quite 4 weeks old. She's a very good baby, though she definitely has her own opinion. When she's hungry, she's STARVING and lets us know about it. If she's done eating or doesn't want her paci, she clamps those little lips tight and lets nothing past. She doesn't like having a dirty or wet diaper and she doesn't particularly like having her eyeballs poked (though I can't blame her for that one).

Here she is snuggled in the blanket Auntie Leah made for her.
