We took a trip into Manhattan and went to the Central Park Zoo. We've got some work to do on being more organized and efficient ...we aren't in Minnesota anymore! But we had a great time looking at the sea lions and a polar bear!
Since we'll be living in Irvington, NY starting Oct 1st, we were excited to head over there and check it out and we found this great park! It is right on the Hudson river - very scenic.
We arrived safely, after 5 days of driving, in Stamford, CT. We are staying temporarily at the Stamford Plaza, so like Eloise, Nia and Sadie live at the (Stamford) Plaza
We started our road trip cross country; driving from Minneapolis to NY (well, actually Stamford, CT where we'll be staying temporarily). Our first stop was in the Wisconsin Dells for some swimming. Sadie enjoyed being in the water and was good at kicking her little legs around.
The moving truck came yesterday. Last night we said "See you later" to lots of our Minneapolis friends. Today we said goodbye to our Kinderberry teachers and friends. Then we said goodbye to our house and headed off in our cars for our new adventure in New York!!
Sadie is starting to vocalize, but she clams up in front of the camera. We'll keep trying to catch her, but she's looking super cute here. Disregard Mommy's antics trying to get Sadie to talk.
We've got lots of garbage from our packing and yard work ...including the kitchen sink (ok it's actually the bathroom sink, but I thought it was funny).
It's official - Daddy got a job offer from Pepsi Co in Purchase, NY and we'll be moving! Nana has come for a visit to help us get packed up. We've got lots to do, but we took a break to take Nana to one of our favorite places - the Original Pancake House (the place we were the morning before Sadie was born). The second picture is by the flowers that Nana spent a long time weeding out. They needed it!
Sadie had her first experience in the Exersaucer. She loved all the activities and toys to grab, but it was pretty tiring, so she rested in her swing afterward. She loves burring her face in her blankie.
Sadie had a great check up at the doctor. She weighs 14 lbs 7 ounces and is 24 1/4 inches. 50th percentile for both height and weight. She is very playful and smiley - doctor said she is a real wiggle worm! She rolls from side to side and is starting to like sitting up while supported. She also loves standing and grabbing!
