December 24, 2002: Happy 1st Birthday Sadie!!

• Sadie is walking really well now and usually doesn't crawl, unless she's in a big hurry (like when the cat is trying to get away). She is starting to play with toys the "right" way, like putting balls into a sorter, sticking bath toys to the wall, stacking blocks, etc. Sadie knows which book she wants you to read to her and will bring it to you to read it. She is not a champion eater, but that is probably because she wants to eat "big people" food, not that baby food, but just doesn't have the teeth for it yet. Sadie's words are: bye, ma, da, wow, hi, and bah (for bottle), and it sounds like she's working on a ke sound for the kitties.
• December 13, 2002: 3^rd tooth (top front right) poked through. Walking is getting better and better; Sadie is starting to walk more than she crawls.

• October 26, 2002: The bottom center tooth has poked through the gum! Sadie is also starting to point at things, putting things into containers deliberately so she can take them back out. She will also hand you things if you ask for it (sometimes!)

• September 6, 2002: Sadie has been clapping for about a week, and now waves bye-bye by curling her hand and opening it. She is fascinated by both of these things, and just stares at her hands while she does it. David thinks she is saying "da-da" and meaning it. Meanwhile, she has taken about a 10-day hiatus from "ma-ma"
• August 20, 2002: Sadie has started saying "ma-ma" - and she seems to mean it. She looks squarely at mama when she wants fed or comforted and exclaims "ma-ma!" Also, Sadie greets Sara at the door by crawling out of her room with a big "MAM!". She also initiates games of peek-a-boo.
• August 7, 2002: Sadie has been crawling forward for about a week. She is getting better at it (no longer goes backwards!) and is starting to follow us out of the room if we leave! Today, Sadie started babbling in syllables (ya-ya-ya, ba-ba-ba, and David's favorite, da-da-da). Her earlier vocalizations were like long groans, high-pitched-chirps, coughs, yelling and laughing.
• July 26, 2002: Sadie waved bye-bye to us for the first time! She was very excited about it. Sadie can also get herself to sitting from lying down now.
• July 24, 2002: Sadie has been pulling up to standing for about a week. She creeps around every which way, but still can't crawl forward! We are switching to the size 3 diapers (has been in size 2 since about age 3 months).
