Dear Sadie,

It was unusually warm on St. Patrick's Day this year so we met some friends at the beach. You didn't want to sit and play in the sand.




You wanted to run all over picking up rocks and chasing sea gulls and drifting towards the surf and paying no attention to your mama chasing you around.



You got so sandy I stripped you down before I put you in your car seat to go home.


You have also become very proficient at eating with a spoon. The trick to not having to throw you in the tub after letting you loose with a spoon and a bowl of yogurt is to catch you before you lose interest in eating and start playing with the food. On several occasions you have declared the yogurt-covered plate a "hat!" and put it on your head. Here is a video of some comparatively tame yogurt eating so I can show off how good you are with decorative Elmo flatware.




In related news, you went from 5 teeth to 10 rather suddenly. A few days ago, you were hollering about something and I looked in your mouth and was astounded to see two big MOLARS in the back on the bottom. I have no idea how long they have been back there. And in the front, two new teeth on the top and one on the bottom have broken through for a full set of 8 front teeth.

And finally, look what you learned how to do today:



You are so pleased with yourself because you love to romp around on the bed. But it means I have to watch you even closer because you careen around like a drunken sailor with no healthy fear of the edge of the bed when you play up there. The bed is only 17 inches high because we want one as low to the floor as possible in case you ever fall off, but I'm sure it would still hurt to land on your head. You later applied your new climbing skills to the living room chairs and sofa. I really can't let you out of my sight.

I love you little monkey.
