Height: She is about 31 inches! And yes she still screams the entire time at the doctors...fun times.
Nicknames: Mostly pumpkin, puppet, stink butt, baby girl...
Eating: This girl would always be eating if you would let her. Her absolute favorite things are carbs and fruit. She lives for her morning toast and her afternoon snack of some kind of fruit. She also will not leave grandma's without a Lara Bar "treat" or leave her highchair at dinnertime without frozen blueberries for dessert. She has gotten a little more picky over the last few months, but overall she will eat pretty much anything. She eats breakfast, two mini lunches (before and after nap), an afternoon snack and then dinner. Unless she is at grandma's and then she eats all of the time....
Sleeping: Oh sleep...this child seriously punked us when she was such a great sleeper when she was a baby. Every since we took away the swaddle/rock n' play (ummm a year ago?!!), it has been one thing after another. She is either teething, sick etc.... We did let her cry a few times, but she still always ended up in our bed. At this point, we just put her down in our bed and she sleeps with us all night. Despite some kicks, and an occasional rough night, I think we all are getting the most sleep this way #pushovers. She goes down every night between 8:30-9:00pm. She wakes up every morning between 7-9am (I'm serious....). Depends on the plans we have for the day (she loves to mess with those), but she usually averages waking up about 8am. We transitioned officially to one nap about a month or so ago....she goes down between noon-1pm. She sleeps anywhere from one-three hours. Usually it's just under two hours depending on the day.
Diapers/Clothes: Size 3 diapers and shoes. Clothing is 9 and 12 month. I have noticed the 9 month is getting really small though, but a lot of the 12 month is too big. It is a good thing she has a HUGE selection of clothes!
Social: Sadie is pretty outgoing and chatty, but she can also be really shy. I would love to sign her up for some classes, but with the baby coming, I'm going to wait and see how it goes. The pressure though, I swear kids her age are in all sorts of activities!
At 18 months Sadie....
