Miss Sadie D!!!...and a little Ella too.

I wish that someone would invent a blog where all you had to do was think of a blog post and it would magically be done. I would be such a good blogger if I had one of those kind of blogs... In the mean time, here's a few from the past month. It's hard to believe our little Sadie will be 3 months old tomorrow!!!

I kept trying to rotate this picture, but it wouldn't stay rotated. Anyway, she's sitting in her swing and look up at the mobile. I remember when Ella did that for the first time. Ryan and I thought it was so cool that she was "playing with her toys!"

This is what Ella would do all day long if I let her...watch Ariel!




Bath time!

The good news is Sadie loves her bath. The bad news is she hates getting out!

Thank heavens for binkies!

Whenever I start taking pictures of Sadie, Ella has to jump right in and say "Cheese"! Jealous much??? (I like Sadie's gangsta sign here. She's in the pinky gang.)

We just got Sadie a little Bumbo cuz we heard how much everyone who has one loves theirs. I thought Sadie would be too little for it, but she fills is out quite well. :)

Once again, Ella comes running from the other room to be in the picture.

Knock 'em down!

Last week, we got to go bowling with all of the residents that Ryan works with and their families.  It was Ella's first experience at bowling and she was loving every minute of it...except for the part where you have to wait your turn.  

She got to use this handy little ramp

Oh the anticipation!!!

Ryan snuck this picture of me. Look at that form!

The one and only Pin Daddy!

Oops...no pictures of Sadie! (Or anyone else we went with?!)  I'm not the best photographer...

Party like it's 1999!

A couple weeks ago, Sadie and I got to go home to San Diego for everyone to meet the newest addition to our family.  While I was there, I got to go to my 10 year high school reunion.  (BTW, I have no clue why this is all underlined and I don't have much time or patience to figure out how to fix it...)  I'm so glad I got to go to my reunion. I was a little hesitant as to whether I really wanted to go or not but it turned out to be a lot of fun!  It was really weird and kind of a trip to hear what some people have been doing with their lives the past ten years but all in all, a really fun night!

Me and the Jill-dawg (I wonder how old we'll be when we stop using our softball nicknames?!)

Me and Marcella...love, love, LOVE this girl!

Playing catch-up!

I've been meaning to update this stupid blog for a while now but I just haven't thought to take many pictures lately. Anyway, here's a little catch-up...

Coming home from the hospital

Ella loves her little sis

My mom was out for a week and she was SUCH a huge help. Ella was so sad when she left...

It's been sooooo hot here! We try to cope with our little pool in the backyard. Even Ryan gets in it sometimes! (can you see his arm in this picture?)

***Ryan's mom and my sister were also nice enough to come out and visit but I was too brain dead to remember to take any pictures!***

Last weekend we got to go down to Dallas cuz Ryan had a perio meeting he wanted to go to. The girls and I tagged along. We mostly just hung out by the pool.

Why do all dads get such a kick out of throwing their kids in the air???

Their little pool had a fun little fountain in the middle that Ella loved!

My cousin Rachel lives in Dallas so while Ryan was at his meeting, the girls and I met up with Rachel, Gid, and Stella (who was born 2 days before Sadie) at the Galleria mall.

There was a pond with some ducks by our hotel so you know we had to go feed them...

We also met up with Rachel and her family at the Dallas Aquarium. 

I didn't get it on camera, but one of those rays jumped up out of the water towards Ryan and Ella!

This creepy alligator was just sitting there with its mouth open...like it was waiting for one of the parents to drop their kid!

Introducing...

SADIE DANIELLE HARBERTSON

Making her debut almost 2 weeks early, is little miss Sadie Danielle Harbertson. For some reason, coming up with a name for this little one proved to be a little tricky for Ryan and I but after much deliberation, we finally narrowed it down to Sadie and we feel like it's a really good fit for her. Danielle is my sister's middle name so that's where we got Sadie's middle name.
She was born last night at 6:30 CST. She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 21 in. long! So far she is doing just great. Eats, sleeps, poops. What else can you ask for?!

Ella was so funny when she first got here. She was with some good friends of ours while I was in labor and they brought her to the hospital later that night. When Ella first came into the hospital and saw me in the hospital bed with tubes in my arms holding a little baby...she was not too sure what to think about things. We were telling her "Here's baby sister! She came out of Mommy's tummy!" I think this picture kinda shows what she was thinking:

It wasn't too long after that though that she was all about this new baby of hers...

We're so happy that Sadie is here. She and I are doing just great and will be leaving the hospital tomorrow. More to come later!!!
