Feelings

Well today is a day of emotional feelings for me. I don't know for sure why but it's one of those days where you really don't want to get out of bed. You just want to vegetate. I feel like any minute something will be said or did and I will break down into a flood of tears for no apparent reason.

Last night I had a great night. I went and worked out and then went and visited friends. It was a much needed break from being Mommy and being able to be Tam. First I went to Heather's and visited with the Bride to Be Jessica. Shannon and Susan were there working on how to decorate the arch's for the wedding. Jessica had her wedding make up done that afternoon and she looked beautiful.

The we packed up and went to Susan's and watch Project Runway. I really enjoy the creative and artsy feel to that show. All the people on there are talented. I could do without the cussing of a certain person and the sideline dramas. But the clothing and the inspiration is wonderful. Of course it was great being able to visit with everyone. It was a full house, Susan, Shannon, Brittney, Emma & Alexis. Right before "So you think you could dance" came on Tracy, Jordan and Jennifer arrived. I wasn't able to stay for the show because it was on later than usual and I needed to get home to be mommy again and put Sadie to bed. But it was a great visit.

On my desktop calendar today it says....

"Reminiscing helps us put our lives into perspective. As we get older, we can see how each stage, every memory, fits into the grander scheme of things. My life has included sorrow as well as happiness. And all those emotions, all those bittersweet memories have created what I like to think of as a bright, colorful, firmly woven tapestry."

I think I will end on that note.

Here are a few pictures from our lazy weekend...

Sleeping Beauties

Let me explain her Bib. I went online this past week looking teething bibs. I found a bib online for about $6.00 each that basically had the same thing as this bib. So I decided I would make my own. I went and got a package of three bibs and fun rings with different textures for her gums and put them together. It seems to work really well except the rings keep falling off. But no big deal. She really likes having those rings and she always has one in her hand.

Lazy Weekend

Well this morning I wasn't feeling well and Sadie's running nose has gotten worse, so we decided to stay home from Church today. Instead we had a leisure morning laying around in bed. Her nose has gotten better but she is still congested. Good thing she has her 6 month check up on Friday.

This first video is of Sadie rocking back and forth on her hands and knees. Daddy decided it would be funny to use her toy as an earring and well see what happens...

This next video Sadie is showing her Sky Diver Pose she most often uses. She is also showing everyone how she has learned how to wave. Her hands are constantly going. Even in her sleep she waves.

This next video is of Sadie trying to crawl to get the remote. As I mentioned in previous entries, Steve started using the Xbox controller to try and get Sadie to crawl. Well it works just as well with the tv remote. Here you can see her attempt.

I have a few more videos from today but it's late and I need to go to bed. It takes a while to upload these. I'll add them soon.

Our Family Pictures

Well the Eastlick clan packed up and went to the mall this morning and had our family pictures done. Sadie also got her 6 month pictures as well. The link for the entire shoot is listed in my favorite links. Enjoy!

Sadie's 5 month Pictures

I'm a little slow this month getting the pictures posted but here are pictures from Sadie's photo shoot on July 12th. There is a link to the photo session on my blog. There were a lot of cute pictures. You'll have to take a look.

THEY'RE FINALLY HERE!

Well I got an extra special treat when I checked the mail tonight. I got the Hawaiian Tropics Pictures of Miss Sadie. They turned out really cute. I've uploaded them for you all to see her in her modeling debut.

Goree Picnic Pictures

Well as you all know we had a Goree Family Picnic on the 19th. It was a lot of fun. Great people, Great food and a Great time was had by all. We definitely need to do it more often. Here are a few pictures from the event. Enjoy.

(I had to throw this one in there cuz it's so dang cute!)

Fun Sadie Videos

Sadie has discovered she can lift herself up out of her bumbo but can't really go too far. Here's a short clip of her trying to escape.

Sadie has started to rock back and forth on her hands and knees, so we know she is getting ready to start crawling. So Steve has decided to put use the bait method and put the controller in front of her. It's a great idea. She's actually moved a little but not totally crawling. Oh and she keeps looking at Steve who is laying under the covers.

Here is just a quick video of Steve and Sadie. She had been trying to crawl and was really tired and ready for a nap.

Where to Begin???

Well Mom, Dad, Michael, Matthew and Luke all came down last week for a visit. It was fun. They watched Sadie while Steve and I worked a couple days and I was also able to take a couple of days off. Sadie loves her Uncles. She was all smiles for them. We ate outside and we introduced everyone to the game "Washoes" It's bascially horseshoes but with washers. We pretty much play that every night after dinner.

The weather was nice and not too hot for them. It even cooled down enough that we were able to eat outside comfortably. Sadie loves to be outside. We moved her bouncing chair outside and she loved it. We even started feeding her outside in the mornings and evenings which she enjoyed as well.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from while everyone was here. Enjoy.

Busy Bees

So this weekend was super duper busy for the Eastlick household. Let's start with picking up our veggie basket. Yummy! Then Sadie and I went to the mall and had her pictures done. (I'm a little late with her 5 months pictures). Here are some pictures of her while we waited outside the studio waiting for it to be opened. She looked so cute with that huge bow on her head (Thank you Rylie!)

Then the Eastlick's packed up and went to Costco to stock up on food for the three hungry teenagers that were about to invade their house. HA! Grandma Eastlick bought us a shopping cart cover, and thank goodness she did! Sadie chews on everything right now and shopping carts are no exception. Here she is chewing on the handle. The entire cover was wet by the time we got out of the store.

It was such a long day for her that by the time we got home from Costco she had finally crashed in her car seat. Unfortunately for her and mommy it ended up only being a power nap.
Well Steve has nicknamed Sadie again. This time it's McSquirmy. She is always on the move and eating is no exception. Now-a-days we're lucky if we get half of her food inside her. As you can see it's quite a mess. She really likes trying to help you feed her.
