Your Daily Sadie, Antics and Cookies, Oh My
Sadie has had a busy couple of days. She stands up in the tub now, holding the end. She crawled into the base under the exersaucer and was quite pleased with herself, playing there a while. She let go of the coffee table completely, standing unsupported for a few seconds while beaming proudly “look what I can do” at her mother and then successfully grabbing the table again without falling. She sits down more gracefully and is less likely to have an uncontrolled fall. She’s gotten super fast at crawling and will now go all over the house freely. Yesterday marked the start of keeping the bathroom door closed, and it seems we may at last need to buy a gate or two.
However, the biggest thing involved food.
One of our favorite things in the world is the Keebler Sandies Fruit Delights in the strawberry/cheesecake flavor. The apple is good, but not nearly as addictive. They are outrageously expensive, so we have them only rarely, on sale or possibly at Super Wal-Mart prices.
They’ve been advertising two new flavors. I happened to notice the cookie aisle at the regular Wal-Mart in Avon the other night, looked to see if they had them cheap, and sure enough, they were $2 a package and the store had only the new raspberry/white fudge and lemon flavors. That’s nearly 50% off the normal store price. Naturally I grabbed one of each, so we could try them and as a surprise for Deb.
The night before last, we had eaten supper and then were munching on a few of the raspberry cookies, which are quite possibly as good as the strawberry. Sadie freaked out and insisted she had to have one!
She’s not had puffs or other more solid food yet, and any time there is too much solid texture to her food she seems unhappy.
No matter. She happily chewed away at it and ate half the cookie. She loved it! This was not the plan for introducing solid finger foods, but hey, the texture and solubility was right.
The whole thing was pretty comical in a disconcerting, growing up too fast sort of way.
What a doll she is!!

let’s add a smiley just in case...)

At the time my little one was just starting on general solid food, he was being daycared by the wife of one of the Mexican laborers where my wee wifey worked. He was getting fed the same food as the young one of the household; Campbell’s Junior Pureed Jalepenos. He’s living on the road these days, collecting local hot sauces in the large bottles.
