Accumulated Baby Pictures About 12/18 Through 12/25
Sadie is three months old today. Yay for Sadie! Seems like a good time to post more pictures. A lot more pictures…
She makes the cutest, funniest sad faces. Unfortunately, this usually gets her laughed or cooed at, rather than responded to in the manner she might want for addressing whatever has pissed her off:
These are on Christmas, in her hand me down “baby’s first Christmas” suit, which was too small for her cousin to wear:
This is Sadie in a pile of Christmas loot, before we went to my sister’s house and she got more. In the left of the top one you can also see my spice rack:
Here she is at my grandmother’s house. My grandmother came home from my cousin’s house, where there is a baby just slightly older. She cranked up the heat, which had been turned down to a more bearable level while she was gone. That made Sadie freak out from being too hot, so we had to listen to my grandmother about how my cousin’s baby is soooo good and never fusses. Irritating normally. Infuriating coming from the apparent cause of the sudden freakout.
My older brother was too busy with his own kids while I got to be the doting uncle. He’s crazy about her, even if he does have the odd idea that it’s okay to give her ice cream and frosting.
Here she is with my grandnieces, Emily, Katherine and Julia in the first, and with Julia only in the second. I had a lot of trouble with redeye on these pictures.
Yay, back at home in these two, a face shot, and a side shot where you can see how the hair has thinned.
Next are some efforts at posed pictures, including on her belly, against a dark blue blanket on our bed. That makes a great backdrop.
Attack of the giraffe…
Giraffe hugs…
You should have seen the one that got away…
Gee, this looks interesting…
Maybe this will help me solve that tricky FTL drive problem.* You know, string theory…
Sadie uses the Force to be one with the ribbon…
I’ll take that ribbon to go, please…
When in doubt, there’s always Pooh…
Bye everyone!
* This is a running joke about what she’s going to do when she grows up. I keep asking her how she’s coming on the faster than light drive, and we sometimes joke about naming her Zephram Rose instead.
