10 Things about Sadie that you may not know:

1. In her first year of life Sadie will have spent more than 2 months away from home. This includes: 1 month on St Joe Island, 2 nights in Toronto Hotels, 1 night in Ottawa, 1 night in Kingston, 4 nights at Mt Tremblant, 5 nights on Long Island, and 2+ weeks staying with family and friends in and around the GTA.

2. Sadie was born with a stork bite on the back of her neck.

3. Sadie's hair entirely fell out twice (2 months/4 months) and therefore she does not have a baby mullet or need a haircut.

4. D confessed after Sadie was born that she'd wanted to name a child Sadie since she was 12 years old. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised because I thought we had come up with the name together.

5. We often call Sadie by her middle name, Maggie, because she reminds us of Maggie Simpson when she is wearing her Grobag (sleep sack) and sucking on her soother.

6. Sadie would have been born on December 29th however there was a major trauma happening at the Hospital that night which pushed her delivery out to 00:45 AM on the 30th.

7. Most of Sadie's clothes (80-90%) are second hand and an equal number of her toys are. We initially bought everything new but soon saw the excess of it all. That said, we're picky and Sadie has good quality brand name clothing. We also only buy plastic toys that can be washed. Fabric or wooden toys are 100% new.

8. Sadie's crib has been disassembled since May. I recently found the pieces to put it back together but who are we kidding? She'll probably still be sleeping in our bed when she's 14.

9. Aside from a French Fry (just one, ever) all of Sadie's junk food experiences have been blue. This includes a lick of a blue popsicle, a spoonful of blue jello and maybe a taste or two of blue kool aid. Yes, I'm a bad mom who loves blue "food".

10. Sadie is not having a First Birthday party. We're doing something totally awesome but it isn't a party!
