* Stomach bug for Sadie: listless and fairly dry diapers. Doctor wants to self-treat at home with milk, formula, pedialyte and keep on hydrating. Vomits once a day and diarrhea all day. Had to feed her syringes of pedialyte since Sadie refused bottles and boobs.

* Loves butternut squash. Still very messy and likes to suck on fingers in between bites of food.

* Size 2 diapers. 3M, 3-6M and 6M clothes.
* Doesn't use the pacifier at all; uses her two middle fingers, with pointer finger pointed up towards her eye.
* Emma introduced rice puffs to Sadie; she loves them and Emma likes to feed them to her.
* Doesn't enjoy rice cereal. Puts fingers in mouth when we are attempting to feed her. Tries to grab at spoon. Messy eater.
* Pulls herself to a standing position.
*The girls took a bath together. It went great, although we need to find a bathtub seat to put Sadie in since she likes to swim.
*Still feeds 5 times per day. Bottles during 3 feedings, usually 10 ounces total of supplement (mix of pumped breast milk and formula)
*Started to rock on all fours and army crawl.

Emma's Birthday Party

We celebrated Emma's birthday party with a Frozen theme (of course!) at Pump It Up, an Athens bouncy house place. She invited a few friends and it was so nice not to have a party at our house ... much less stressful!
