choo choo

Sadie spent the morning with grandma while I worked.  Then we met in the afternoon for lunch.  After lunch we went into a little toy store where my mom saw a cute doll in the window.  We showed the doll to Sadie but she was less than impressed.  Then I found this darling Pooh mega [...]

The other hair clips I ordered from Etsy arrived last week.  They are adorable.  Now, if I could just get Sadie to keep them in all day.  You can get your own here.

keepsake or toy?

Sadie’s President Obama Air Force One Wood Toy Collectable is on its way.  I thought it would be a nice keepsake for her to commemorate such an important event.  Sad thing is, I probably won’t let her play with it.  We’ll keep it on a shelf in her room.

piggies

When I picked Sadie up at daycare today, I found her hair like this. 

Too freaking cute!  She actually kept them in all day and night. 
My back is officially wrecked from my fall down the stairs.  I can barely walk and going from sitting to standing is so painful, I end up in [...]

chúc mừng năm mới – Happy New Year!

Tết starts tomorrow and I have to admit I’m still a little ignorant about what it entails.  But I intend to find out.  We have a story book (Ten Mice for Tết)that Sadie hasn’t quite sat through yet, but I’ll keep trying and I’m planning to take her to a huge Tết festival here in [...]

20 months old

Sadie turned 20 months old today.  I just can’t believe it.  I’ve actually started thinking about her 2nd birthday party.  Since we missed her first birthday together, we’ll be making up for it on her 2nd!  The day started with Sadie falling out of my bed at 9:30am.  Ugh…I know.  She’s been sleeping with me [...]

beautiful etsy purchase

I was browsing etsy.com about a week ago and I came across this shop called Dos Besitos.  Gail makes beautiful glass pendants and other items with maps and words on them.  She had one with a map of Hanoi so I wrote to her to ask if she could make one with a map of [...]

Sadie and I slept in this morning and we both woke up feeling better.  She still has her horrible cough, but the doctor said it would linger for a while.  She finishes her antibiotics tomorrow.   We just hung out most of the day but she looked so cute!  It was the first time I put [...]

january 23rd pics

Well, it happened.  A day went by without a post.  But I don’t feel badly because I did take pictures of Sadie and my resolution was to take a picture of her every day and post as many as possible. 
Fact is, I have a very good reason for not posting.  Sadie, though feeling better, [...]

a first i’d like to forget

Today marks the first day in 6 days that Sadie didn’t have a fever.  I guess the antibiotics are kicking in.  Tonight she had another coughing fit like last night.  I picked her up to rub her back while she was coughing and she ended up throwing up all over me. Lovely.  I’m sure it [...]

the big p

My poor baby has pneumonia.  How awful is that?  She was really crabby today.  Clearly she was not feeling well.  And she had yet another fever.  That’s 5 days in a row.  My mom and I took her to the doctor this afternoon and after listening to her chest, she said it was pneumonia.  [...]
