Deep Thoughts with Sadie Marie

Not really much to blog about in the past few days cept for the fact that I'm exhausted due to the fact that Miss Priss now enjoys staying awake from about 4 AM to 6 AM, laughing and talking to herself and her critters on her mobile. It's pretty funny I will admit, but it's not funny at 4 AM when you have to get up at 7 AM for work. I'm usually up every hour between 9 and 1, I get three hours of sleep and then I'm up. Oh well, at least it's a routine I guess. Please note my scarasm. WTF Sadie Marie. Go the F to sleep.  :)

I know one thing I am grateful for....I'm grateful I didn't get my wish for twins. Sheesh, what a hot mess that would have been. I'm kidding, I'm kidding but for realskis.....thank goodness for ONE little girl.

Over the past few days I have been rearranging all the photos on the walls and getting ready for a big BBQ we are having this weekend for the end of the summer. I realized what a good looking family I got. We have all our teeth, no one is wearing a wife beater, (well by itself anyway), and I have a beautiful baby girl who everyone thinks is pretty stinking cute. I got all my professional photos today too and to say the least I spent over a hundred bucks on frames this weekend. It's a project too to put up a wall that is essentially an ode to Sadie Marie.

This morning I decided to get up at 7, like I had a choice, and get my day started and while I was getting ready Sadie Marie was on the bed, full as a wood tick, and the below video is the conversation she was having with the bed it seems. The child is an enigma, she chatters away until I get the video camera on her and then she's silent. SO funny. She also will chat with Theron, but mom.....NADA. She laughs and squeals at me, but has no desire to have a conversation with her dear mother. I birthed you child, the least you can do is talk to me. The baby daddy loves it that he has one up on me. WHATEVER. I'm hoping she says Mama first so I can rub that in his face.

Even after almost eight years of marriage I still love the baby daddy and as you can see we have a healthy level of competition and humor alive in our relationship and since he already knows what I got him for our anniversary on September 27, I guess I will tell y'all just in case you were wondering what an awesome wife he has. I got tickets to see the Cowboys play the Redskins here in DC AND I'm taking him fishing the first weekend in October. Yeah, I'm kinda awesome and he even admits it when I buy him good stuff.

Anyways, here's the video of Sadie Marie talking to the bed or herself. I'm not sure.

Love y'all!

Bathtime Pooping

So we have been rather busy since I went back to work and Labor Day weekend was a whirlwind of bbq's and birthday parties. We were all exhausted and Sadie Marie must have been going through a growth spurt last week because she went from sleeping from like 9PM to 2AM to feeding around the clock every three hours like a piranha and when I say piranha I mean a chubby, I'm scared I may never eat again, piranha. Luckily the growth spurt seems to have passed and I got about 4 hours the past two nights. I'm just hoping her knawing on everything, runny nose, and drooling does not mean we have a tooth in the works as well!

On to bathtime.....the baby daddy has only bathed her a few times for the simple fact that I like to do it and it's a long way down to the bathtub when you are 6 foot tall trying to bath a 1.5 foot tall baby in a blue plastic bathtub that is clearly not adult friendly. How are supposed to get to their butts anyway, we practically have to pick her up to get under there!


On Wednesday night I had been at work and I was SO tired, from being up every 1-2 hours either feeding or putting a pacifier back in it's place, that I was a zombie and still had to get things ready for the next day so the baby daddy said he would gladly bath Sadie Marie as long as I supervised to assure we got all the appropriate parts bathed. While I don't mind supervising....I also don't understand. He baths all his important parts, do the same thing only on a baby scale. :)

Anyway, I'm supervising from a far trying to get my things ready for the next day, stopping in the bathroom every few minutes to make sure some bathing is actully going on becuase Sadie Marie is much like her mama when I say she likes to talk, she LOVES to talk to her daddy. Makes me so jealous. She laughs her head off at me, but does not talk to me like she does her daddy. Already a daddy's girl and I'm surprisingly OK with that as long as she gets my "take no shit" attitude :).

I make a stop in and look over at my child laughing and talking, looking up adoringly at her father and I look at the water and I thought what is that?!? Here's our conversation:

Me: "What is that stuff floating in the water?"
Him: "What stuff?"
Me: "Ah, the brownish, greeish stuff that was clearly not ON the baby when you put her in the tub, so how did it get there?"
Him: "I don't know"
Me: "IT'S POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Get her out and stop pooring water over her head!!!"
Him: "OMG"

So, we proceed to get her out of the tub, wash the tub out, put her back in the tub, and he proceeded to bath her a second time to get the stink off. Literally. :)

About 2 minutes later this conversation occurs:

Him: "Code Red, Code Red"
Me: "Shit"
Him: "Literally, she pooped again."
Me: "Well, at least you identified it this time, get her out."
Him: "I'm not bathing her again."
Me: "UGH, no, we will just hose her off and wipe her down."

Sadie Marie is super lucky her parents think poop is funny. I was cackling walking through the house as the baby daddy is yelling code red and trying to get her out of a second poop filled tub. SO FREAKING HILARIOUS! I guess it was also super funny because she has NEVER pooped in the tub whilst I was bathing her. Sadie Marie 2, Daddy 0!

I am home alone this weekend as the baby daddy is working and Auntie Jules and Uncle John Rob are at a wedding so Sadie Marie and I are prepping for her second bama game. We took some photos last weekend before we beat the crap out of Kent State and we also took her three month photos. They are below! Enjoy! RTR!!

Love Y"all
