Sadie's Week Three Update (From Sadie)

Weight: No idea what I am!  But Mommy thinks I am definitely gaining some weight.  At my 2 week check up I was 7 lbs exactly.

Height: Probably around the same - 19 3/4" or so.

Sleep: I LOVE to sleep.  But Mommy is worried I'm going to become a bad sleeper because she spoils me (but some of that has to do with circumstance).  Mommy is busy watching my big bro during the day in a 4 story town home (and she's not really suppose to carry anything heavier than me for 6 weeks or more!).  So I've been sleeping a lot in my Lambie Seat in the living room or in Mommy's K'Tan wrap, etc.

And then at night ... I do really well!  And Mommy caves usually after 1 am or so.  She's delirious.  Sometimes if I cry she feeds me in bed (you can't make it to the Super Rocker, Mommy?) ...and she ends up holding me, etc.  We need to work on that Mommy.  Maybe I need my own room.

Diet: Mommy's milk ... every 2 hours or every 3 hours.

Clothes: I'm in newborn clothes!  Some are fitting better, and some are too big.

Baby Gear Love: I'm still young to play with too much (or really anything at all).  But it's finally getting a little bit cooler / colder in Houston so I am definitely loving and needing my Halo SleepSack from Pottery Barn Kids.  It's nice and warm!  We need to order more.

Crying: About the same as before ... I don't like getting my diaper changed ... I don't like getting changed, and I don't like my baths yet.  I'm sure that'll change though!

Likes: Being held by Mommy ... and Daddy and brother!

Postpartum: From Mommy - On Monday it'll be 4 weeks since Sadie's BIRTHday / surgery.  I'm feeling about the same.  Starting next week I hope to start doing more things on my own including taking the kids places (although not too many places since Sadie is wee small).  I don't like keeping Max in the house though.  I'm not really fully healed for 2 to 4 more weeks though.  I need to start thinking about exercise soon!

Milestones: Let's see ... over the past week since my 2nd Week Birthday ... I already talked about my first Election.  I celebrated Max's 22nd Month Birthday last Wednesday (so we are almost two years apart!).  I went to my first doc appt last Thursday, and began sleep training on Thursday.  Mommy's friend G and her girl V came to visit on Friday last week.  I had my FIRST bottle with Dada last Friday.  Mommy LEFT me for the first time for a few hours last Saturday for Houston's Nutcracker Market.  I "watched" my first Sunday night NFL football game - Texans up 8 and 1!  And ... (much to Daddy's dismay) I had my first date on my 3 Week Birthday with J (baby of Mommy's friend E).

What is Max Up To This Week?: 

We wanted to add a new addition to our Friday posts.  We are going to include a tidbit on any new and exciting things Max is up to (that hopefully were not previously mentioned in other blogs).  This week ... what stands out the most - Mommy started practicing letters more with Mad Max (books, bath letters, drawings, etc) ... and on his own Max said A - B - C - D and E in the right sequence.  Go Max!  Future Shakespeare poet obviously.
