A Visit With Santa

You can tell by this picture that Eli did not enjoy his visit with Santa and that Sadie couldn't have cared less who was holding her. Oh well. It was a fun time anyways.

The 100th Post

This is my 100th post on the Eli and Baby Sadie Blog. I have posted about 2 births, baths, sitting, walking, eating, falling, family, vacations and more. That means, you have read a lot about my children and you probably know more than you need to know. Thanks for tuning in every week to watch my children grow. It's been an exciting run! And, I'm sure, the best is yet to come.

Now, for the pictures.

I took pictures of Sadie's first bath, but they weren't very cheerful. She hated every moment of it and screamed her head off. I realize now that she likes the water really, really warm (like Eli) and is perfectly content to sit for long periods of time as long as the water is warm enough. So, these pictures are from her 8th? bath.



Last Thursday it snowed in Columbus. It doesn't snow in Columbus very often so Eli doesn't have the opporunity to enjoy snow as much as he would like to or as much as I would like him to. It snowed several times last year, but he was oblivious to the fact that white flakes were falling from the sky. So, when it snowed Eli and I went out in our jammies and played in the snow. When he touched it, he said "Oooooo". I think that about says it all.



Eli got this very cool sled as a gift and this is the first time he got to use it. As you can see, the snow is already melting. It was gone about an hour later.

The Many Faces of Sadie

Finally! We've had some camera difficulties around here so I'm just getting some pictures posted. Sadie looks sort of washed out in these pictures, but such is life with flash. These are the best ones. I can't believe she's already 6 weeks old and almost 11 pounds! She's starting to smile, follow people and objects and knows my voice. She's also pretty tolerant of Eli.






Eli fell down our front porch steps on Sunday. He fell so hard his head bounced off the cement. It must have looked worse than it was because he only cried a minute.
