Sadie - 2 Months Old!

The theme song at our house lately:
Sadie, Sadie, pretty little lady...

 Or there's Matt Mo's version (which I prefer):
Sadie, Sadie, pwitty wittle wady...

She had her 2 month well check today and here are her new stats:

Weight: 11 lbs. 12 oz. - (70%)

Height: 23 inches - (70%)

Head: 15.25 inches - (50%)

And here's what she's up to at 2 months old:

• She loves to swing in her chair and loves her binky 
• She loves to be on her tummy (or in mommy's arms)
• She's a good sleeper... she's even gone for a 7 hour stretch the last 4 nights (hallelujah!)
• She's somewhat serious, but happy, and she has a stellar smile
• She still has her full head of dark hair and gets complimented on it everywhere we go!
• She's cooing and more alert - likes to look at the fan, her swing mobile, and her crazy brothers
• She's a little poop machine - pretty much every feeding... that's A LOT of diapers!
• She likes to take baths and have her hair washed, but she is NOT a fan of the pool... yet.

The past 2 months have flown by... slow down already! We just love this "pwitty wittle wady" and are enjoying every minute with her!

Stats

We spent our morning at the doctor's office for 2 well check ups.  First up was Matt Mo. He thought he was pretty cool getting measured and getting his vision tested. And he LOVED showing off his baby sister to all the nurses. Here are his stats...

Matt Mo:
3 years old
Weight: 35 lbs 8 oz - 85%
Height: 39.5 inches - 90 %

Then it was Sadie Bug's turn. I was excited to see how much she had grown from a couple weeks ago because I could tell she had put some meat on her bones...she loves to eat!  Here's the comparison from her 2 check ups...

Sadie:
2 weeks
Weight:  7 lbs 14 oz - 35%
Height: 20.25 inches - 45%
Head: 13.5 inches - 11%

4 weeks
Weight: 9 lbs 2 oz - 55%
Height: 21.25 inches - 60%
Head: 14.5 inches - 50%

She's definitely a little smaller than both the boys were at this age, but at the rate she's going, I'm sure she'll catch up soon (unless I kiss her cute little face off first)!

Preschool Graduation

 Ben graduated from preschool this week... my, how time flies!

The graduating class...

Ben receiving his certificate...

We are so proud of Ben - he's come such a long way from the 3 yr old who would barely say 2 words to you. Miss Angela has taught him well and we are both excited for him to begin the adventure of kindergarten this fall!

Matt Mo is 3!

My little Mo turned 3 last week. I can hardly believe it. Unfortunately, his birthday happened to be a couple weeks after Sadie was born, so his sleep-deprived mom was too tired to make any big plans. In my guilt, I convinced John to go to his least favorite place for a birthday lunch - an over priced pizza buffet with games and rides and cheap prizes. Of course, the boys loved it and I think Matt Mo felt special, so that's all that matters.

Birthday boys get special privileges when it comes to playing the games...

This game was definitely a favorite (what little boy doesn't love permission to whack something?)...

Mo thought he was pretty cool stuff throwing the mini bowling ball down the lane...

And riding the Harley like Uncle Dan...

And don't forget about the highlight of every trip to Gatti Town - the train ride through the parking lot...

We did cake and ice cream and presents with the family the following Sunday. Somewhere in between, Mo took a nasty fall at the park and landed on his face. Poor little birthday boy...

Make a wish...

It's my party and I'll make a mess if I want to...

His big present was a 3 wheeler scooter - just his size and more stable. Don't worry, we'll definitely be wearing a helmet (and perhaps full-body gear given his track record) when we take it to the streets...

Happy birthday Matt Mo...we love you!

Introducing...

Sadie Darlene Hafen

Born May 5, 2010 at 12:24 pm

Weight: 7 lbs, 10 oz

Height: 19 inches

Thankfully, it was a pretty quick and easy delivery... water broken around 8:30 am, epidural around 10 am, ready to push shortly after noon. I maybe pushed 3 times and she was here... practically perfect in every way!

We're all completely smitten with her already...

So lucky to spend my Mother's Day this year cuddled up next to this little angel...
