We just found out that we have been putting Sadie's diaper on backwards since we met her. Greg and I were sure that Elmo was upfront and center and not relegated to the back of the butt. There was never any question in our mind. All is well now and we thank our buddies up in Sleepy Hollow for setting us straight.It has been a mere six days that we have had Sadie in NYC and there have been many firsts for her already. She met her first horse courtesy of a nice policeman that patrols our neighborhood, she saw her first butterfly which we met on the path to our apartment building, she had her first experience with sand (doesn't like it) and heard her first rock concert below her bedroom window. The music wasn't that good and I was pissed at the loudness. It was Sadie's bedtime and nobody messes with me on that one unless the music is worthy.
Sadie has explored every inch of the apartment. In all fairness, it didn't take that long. Her favorite things to do are to wiggle her tongue, shake back and forth to music, attempt to feed herself, read her book about babies every day on the hour, lift things that make her parents nervous, walk with help, and pucker her mouth when she eats fruit. She loves the bath and her toes.She has been poked by neighorhood kids in the playground and has met a sweet little girl of about four who declared upon meeting us that she was "a fairy." She pulled out a compact and lipstick from a Sephora bag to prove it. There must have been some kind of promotion in our neighborhood that day.
The jet lag is getting better, almost feel recovered. Sadie's visit to the doctor went well. She's all clear on her medical tests and even earned a prize for being a good sport when they drew her blood for testing. Greg and I hit the bed soon after Sadie does and it feels good. After a beer.

Jackie,
Congratulations!! Oh my God! Sadie is so ridiculously beautiful! I'm totally crying from all your lovely photos of her. I missed your leaving work by a day (I came back from maternity leave just as you left) and I have something special for Sadie. Please let me know if I can send it to you at home maybe? I'm sure you have a lot more pressing matters at hand, though, so don't worry about it or getting back to me, etc. if things are too hectic. Sadie is just beyond the cutest. I can't wait for her to meet my daughter, her TIME playmate, Noor Gail (who is now almost 5 months old--how scary is that??). Feel free to ask any questions, though I think I"m going to be asking YOU all the questions because you're a few months ahead of me in the daughter game! Again, congrats to you and your husband. Sorry this post is so long. Claudia's off on her maternity leave--to produce another little pal for our TIME play group--and I forgot to get your e-mail address from her before she left, though I got the blog site.
XXXOOO,
Giulia from TIME
P.S. Your blog is terrific! What a lucky baby Sadie is to have such amazing and loving parents. And how lucky you are to have found your fated sweet girl.
