Day 201 : Where My Sadie Rose Goes...

Sades -

I heard an old song on the radio the other day that made me think of you, so I rewrote some of the lyrics and have been singing you the chorus quite frequently this week. My version about you goes like this:

Love Grows (Where My Sadie Rose Goes)
Based on Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison Lighthouse

She's my little honey
Her clothes are mostly onesies
Her head is primarily hair free

Oh, but Love grows where my Sadie Rose goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda screechy
And people say she looks like me
And her life's one of my favorite things

Oh, but Love grows where my Sadie Rose goes
And nobody knows like me (and your mom!)

Day 200 : Brrrr...

Sades –

First:
Happy 200th Day on Earth! I can't believe you are already so old!

Second:
I must apologize. You have caught my cold. You’ve had the runny nose for a week or so, but this morning you woke up with a thick, yucky cough. I have a feeling that it sounds worse than it actually is, but that doesn’t make me feel any better. I hate hearing you sound so uncomfortable. You’ve been in good spirits tonight, but unusually quiet which makes me think your throat probably hurts a little.

I HATE cold and congestion when I have to deal with it. It makes me grumpy as an adult! I can’t imagine having to deal with it at your age. Even since you’ve been asleep, I’ve heard you roll over and cough several times! I feel bad for you. I’ll give you extra kisses tomorrow!

Day 199 : Catching the Worm

Sadie –

You woke up early this morning! I started hearing you make quiet noises when I got out of the shower at 6:30. (You usually don’t get up until 7!) I didn’t get you up immediately. You just stayed in your crib and cooed and played with your feet for awhile. I finally got anxious around 6:50. I just can’t wait to see you in the morning (especially when I can hear that you are awake)!

I love you so much!

Day 198 : Can You Tell Me How to Get...

Sades –

We went over to Grandma’s tonight for pizza. I found a Big Bird peek-a-boo music box in the toy chest your Grandma keeps for you and your cousin Jaz and set it in front of you while you played in your high chair. You were mesmerized. Mom said her hands started to hurt because she wound it up so many times!

We might have to get you one of those!

Day 197 : Daily Bread

Sadie –

The weather turned from yucky to gorgeous this afternoon, so you and your mom and I had dinner out on our deck tonight. Mom let you have some of the bread from her sandwich and you seemed confused by the texture. You would initially make a face like you were going to spit it out and then you would reconsider and smile. It was really funny to watch.

I told mom that it must be weird to have only had cold mushy stuff and then suddenly be given something dry and flaky like bread. You just wait – there are much weirder foods to try in the future!!

Day 196 : Feet Asleep

Sadie –

Mom went in to wake you up from your pre-dinner nap today and then quietly rushed out of your room to find me and our camera. You know how I’ve said you really have liked to play with your feet recently? You even do it in your sleep and we have the pictures to prove it! This afternoon you were fast asleep with your right foot being held in the air by your right hand. I don’t know how this could have been comfortable…but it was HILARIOUS!

Day 195 : Extra Love

Sadie –

I got out of work early today, so in turn, I was able to pick you up before the usual time. I’ve been feeling pretty yucky all day, though, so I don’t think I was that much fun to be around. You seemed to understand. When we got home you played in your bouncy chair for awhile and then snuggled with me on the couch for awhile. It was like you knew I needed a little extra love. Thanks!

I love every extra second I get to spend with you!

- Dad
