For those of you who aren't super excited to hear a bunch of baby talk, you may want to come back for my next post. This is a full Sadie update, per request of family and long distance friends.
Here is a picture of our little family. Just wanted yall to remember that Stephen and I are still here. Unfortunately, this picture was NOT taken on St. Patrick's Day. We just love green this much everyday.
I have to remind myself that just because I'm in the mood to wear whatever color, doesn't mean that Sadie is in the mood to wear it. We end up looking alike way too often. I'm working on it.
In other news, Sadie is a string bean, and we're working hard for her to gain some lbs., per Dr's orders. So this has started...and it's adorable. She sucks on her lips between bites and just about makes a fish face. So cute.
She's tried Rice cereal, bananas, apples, pears, and prunes (due to a bad encounter with some iron enhanced vitamins).
Stephen is going to be really happy that I put up a picture of him making an "eating face." He teases me that I'm doing that really bad. I tried to tell him it is my way of teaching her how to use the spoon correctly. :)
Another fatherly influence that Stephen has asserted is hair brushing. Last weekend, he thought it would be a good idea to part Sadie's wet hair on the other side. It looked nuts. I think she thought it was really funny. Her hair is curling- pretty exciting/scary. Here's how it turned out. Don't worry, we took her to church like this.
This one shows it way better. Plus, how cute does she look in that big chair?
It basically stuck straight up in the back.
On a totally random note, I used this for the first time last week:
All I can say is MAGIC. Don't be afraid. You won't drown. Just breathe through your mouth. Spring is the perfect time to give a Neti pot a whirl. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mom for this gift.
I will also try to put a video of Sadie in action up soon. I tried to do one this post, but it was too large for blogger. Stay tuned.
The hair cut, the glasses (really would like to have those), the clothes, and definitely the fatty coffee drink with whipped cream (been totally craving one of those lately)!
A few weeks ago we headed to Chattanooga to see Stephen's sweet Grandma Hap. We love to visit her- Chattanooga is awesome and so is the family we have there. We ate, celebrated several birthdays and anniversaries, and spent lots of time outside. Here is Stephen and Sadie with Grandma Hap, Tim, and Matt (cousins).
We hiked around Camp Vesper Point where the Bond's spend a lot of time...it's their church's camp.
I also got to visit with my life long friend, Lisa. So fun. I wish I would have taken a few pictures of their house to share with you because it is lively and lovely :)
We also spent some time in Asheville on the way back home- will post about that next. Thanks to everyone who hosted us in Chattanooga! We'll be back soon!
Friday, April 30 at Kooka Booth. Please join us. They are being backed by a New Orleans Heritage Jazz band. Should be killer. Plus, you support my hometown when you support My Morning Jacket.
Tuesday, May 4 at Local 506. Again, please join us. Doesn't start until 9:30, so my old, 29 year old self will have to put her party pants on. Which won't be skinny jeans, even though I think that's the dress code at the Local 506. Totally worth it. And it's only like $10.
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are supposed to be awesome live. There new album is getting a lot of praise. It's retro soul, who doesn't like that? Tuesday, May 11 at Cats Cradle.
Sadie wore a dress that was mine. Here's a picture of her in it, holding a picture of me in it :) I love the details of this sweet eyelet dress. It is actually a wrap dress, but it ties in the back. PS-Can you tell that she skipped her morning nap at church? Exhausted.
We also spent some time goofing off.
She's a Tarheel already. We were hoping to be the winners of the losers' tourney. Looking forward to next season...
I made two. That was enough.
Happy Easter to you all! He is risen! He is risen indeed!
I guess in honor of the release, Cotton is re-running their Zooey commercial. I just want to wear these clothes.

Some of you may remember this unfortunate incident. Although he looks like a furry friend, Mo Wrigley was not. We attempted to rescue Mo from the Lab rescue. We gave him a super cool name, Wrigley, only to be randomly attacked. No kidding! We returned him. I sobbed...despite the attacks, I'd grown attached.
We're almost at the end of another busy season for Stephen's work. We can't wait to have this one under our belt. Stephen has been such a trooper- Sadie and I are so proud!
How cute are they? We had a great week. They helped so much with Sadie and helped me get caught up (and ahead) on some around the house type items. Thanks, Mom and Dad- you're the best!
More to come soon! Sorry that I've been MIA!
I also want my hair to look like this:
