Inna's Birthday

This past Saturday was Inna's birthday and so we all had dinner at Ed and Ella's on Sunday to celebrate.  Sadie was grumpy all evening but she had lots of people who wanted to hold her :-)

Matti and Mark's wedding

We went to Matti and Mark's wedding last night.  It was a very sweet ceremony at the river followed by a reception at Eastern Standard.

Sadie had a very special dress just for the occasion.  We didn't take a lot of photos - we're hoping to get more from the photographer (who took a bunch of us and Sadie).  But this is what we have.

Us with Alice and Max at the reception.

 Us with Jiwon and Ben (Sadie slept through most of dinner).

And of course, us with the happy couple :-)

Sadie's favorite way to sleep

Our little monkey

I think Sadie now officially looks like a "baby" and not a "newborn".  She makes funny faces and looks at things (below she's actually looking up at the mobile in her crib).  She also stretches out her legs and kicks, which makes her look much longer to us.

BBQ and Barchu

We went to TBZ's annual BBQ and barchu (outdoor pot luck bbq followed by Friday night services) yesterday.  It was in Summit park - for those keeping track, that's where we had our outdoor wedding photos taken.  It was 100 degrees and we had to walk up a ridiculous (RIDICULOUS) hill for a mile to get there, but we had fun anyway :-)

Sadie's all set for the second half of baseball season

this kid doesn't seem to have a preference, as along as there's food involved...

Sadie's first picnic

 So the plan on Monday was to take Sadie to the Brookline summer concert series and have a picnic, with Alice and Max joining us.  Alas there was a flaw in this plan, namely the fact that the concert series takes place on Wednesday (not Monday)... oops.

We still had a picnic and a nice time though.

 Here I am attempting to pose for a picture with Sadie...

At one point in the photo shoot however, she literally pulled the hat over her face and went to sleep.  I guess that was her way of saying her audience with the camera was complete?

 

Here are Lee and Alice enjoying some Turkish food.

And here is Max, running away from the camera...

I may be a mom now...

... but I can still use a power drill!

Which is all to say, that the bookshelves in Sadie's room are finally up

 

 

Thank you to everyone who gave a book! As you can see, for quite a little girl, she is very rich, literature-wise.

 

Dina and Sadie

In case you're wondering if Lee's the only one who holds Sadie, he's not.  It's more that I am usually the one who pulls out the camera.

Now that her eye sight is getting better she's starting to like mirrors

Sometimes she even grabs at things

But mostly she just observes the world

And, of course, the party...

Some friends brought their own baby...

And some brought their own toddler

 

Some people held or curiously looked at Sadie

And our local friends who managed to make it into pictures

Thank you for coming!
