We got out to see Sadie this evening. She likes the cup that she can reach into and get Cheerios. It is made with an opening that lets her reach in but closes to keep them from spilling. The only thing that is more fascinating to her is my camera. Her vocabulary continues to grow. While there are only a few "words" her sounds and actions tell you exactly what she is thinking. She and her Grandma Carolyn spend quite a bit of time together and they both seem to enjoy every minute of it. Family time is important and we take advantage of every opportunity to spend as much time with her as possible. It is a bit reminiscent of our time when we spent with Julie when she was little. Not that we didn't enjoy our own kids but we were so busy with work and other activities that we didn't have time to realize how enjoyable they could be. I hope that I can teach Sadie how to say 3 like I did Julie. I would demonstrate her arithmetic ability when she was about 2 years old by asking her what was 2 + 1 and she would say Three!!. I would than ask about 4 -1 and again she would say Three!!. About that time people began to catch-on. We all got a laugh out of it, she in particular even though she didn't know for sure what we were laughing at. And while Sadie doesn't know what a lucky little girl she is to be loved by as many people as she is, some how she seems to sense it.
