What you talkin bout Willis?

Sadie is just growing up too fast for her mom but not fast enough for her dad. She had her 4 month check up and at 15.5 lbs. she is in the 87th percentile, and at two feet tall she is only in the 40th percentile. The following video was taken after one of those days where everything goes wrong, but heaven smiles at the very end so you can get up the next day with a good attitude. Sadie is not clothed because she had just pooped on herself and her mom. She had sort of laughed before this moment, but has never giggled before. We were so lucky to catch it on camera. We have NO IDEA why she thinks it is so funny when we say "What you talkin bout Willis?". Enjoy.



Just and update on Erin: Teaching dance has been going really well so far. I was especially surprised when the hip hop class actually thought that I was cool. Boy did I fool them! I've never been a "cool" dancer, I've grown up on ballet --which is very structured and proper. So I was pretty stoked that they had fun in my class. The 3-5 year old class was another concern for me, but they are super fun. Sometimes it gets a little crazy, but overall the girls listen and have fun too. It is good to be less stressed and enjoy myself while teaching.

At the 4 month appointment the doctor told me we can start Sadie on solids and I decided I am not emotionally ready for that. Am I insane? Yes. Would Sadie enjoy solid food? Probably. Will I give it to her? ...When I'm ready. :)

For Grandma Alkema


This video is because Grandma is missing all these cute words while living in California. This is just a little bit of her vast vocabulary! She just loves to be in her saucer!
