Sadie's First Birthday and 1 Yr Pictures!

So we celebrated Sadie's first birthday on the February 11, 2012.  The theme was Mardi Gras Ladybugs.  Everything came out so cute and she really had a fun day despite the freezing weather!

She had so much fun!!!!

Here are some of her shots from her first  year photo shoot.  Sadie is definitely a ham when it comes to picture time!!!

These were taken in downtown Covington with lots of costume changes.  She was a good sport. 

The Last Few Months

So I actually received a phone call the other day to light a fire under my butt and make sure that I update the blog.  It has been a crazy few months.  So I am going to skip all of the excuses for why I am a terrible blogger and give you what you have come here to see.  Pictures of Sadie....so starting from Christmas until right before her birthday.  I will do a separate post for her first birthday party.

10 Months Old and Getting Ready for Our First Family Christmas!!!!

My adorable girl!!! So much has changed over the past few months.  Sadie has definitely found her voice and her own sassy personality.  She crawls like a little mad woman and sometimes she is hard to catch.  She pulls up on everything and has started to let go and stand for a second then sit down.  A few days ago she decided to push her walker across the floor and walk behind it, of course when I grabbed the video camera she laughed at me and sat down.  So I am going to keep trying to catch her in the act, but I feel like she is definitely going to be walking for her first birthday...we will see how my prediction works out.

Sadie has also found a new love for eggs and bananas in the morning.  She makes a mess, but loves evry minute of it...

Sadie is fascinated with our back door.  I swear she would live outside if we let her.  As soon as she hits the floor, she crawls straight to the back door and looks out.  I can't wait until she is a little older and she can feed the ducks off of the dock.  I am going to have to invest in a lot of bread...lol!

This past Thursday we had our first encounter with Santa.  She absolutely loved him.  I was so scared she was going to scream, but she just kept looking at him and laughing.  She has had a cold for the past week because of the drastic ups and downs in the weather here in Louisiana, but she had a blast with Santa. 

Well that's all for now!  See you soon!!! We are getting ready for next weekend and our first Christmas!!! Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!

Catching up!!!!

So I have not posted in a while and so much has changed for Miss Sadie! So instead of a long drawn out written excuse I will WOW you with pictures from the past few months!
Getting ready for my first Trick or Treat....

Telling Daddy bye-bye and she is ready to roll!

We decided to have some 9 month pictures taken profesionally, so these are some of my favorites....

She was such a trooper this day. She took pictures for over and hour and kept smiling!

Thanksgiving we spent at my cousin Karen's house with family and Sadie was in love with the grass. 

Time is Flying!!!!

I can't believe it has been 7 months since Sadie joined our family.  She has developed such a little personality and is so much fun these days.  We have not gotten the crawling thing down, but we are rocking and I feel like any day now she is going to be extemely mobile. 

She loves her Mother's Day Out teachers, Kristen and Jill.  Whenever we get out of the car to dropo her off, she starts squeaking with excitement! There are plenty of little ones from her to learn from and luckily no one has been sick since she started!

From what I have read, most babies start with "ta" and "da", Sadie has decided that "ma" is her choice so she "ma ma ma's" all day long.  I love when she decides to test her vocal cords in the quietest places, such as Dillards.  It is a lot of fun to have everyone in the very quiet store stare at you while your child squeaks and screeches, while laughing. 

I finally have the flip working again, so I will try and catch in her some videos and post them for your viewing pleasure!

As we were waiting for the LSU game to start last week, she played with her new favorite toy and was cracking herself up.  The dinosaur bounces the balls. 

Daddy wanted to look pretty like Sadie....lol. 

Sadie Updates!!!!

So getting geared up for our first LSU game.  Sadie actually is very interested in watching football. She is definitely a momma's girl!

We did go to the doctor last week for Sadie's 6 month check up.  Miss Sadie is growing like a weed and I can't believe how much she has grown in the past 6 months.  She is 17lbs 10oz and is 27.75" in long.  She is definitely going to pass me up...lol. Her pediatrician said that I need to expect to look up to my daughter later in life.  I guess I am destined to be surrounded by people that are taller than me...lol.

So in the past few days Sadie has started to get on all fours and rock.  I am scared and kind of excited about the fact that she is going to be mobile soon.  She is starting mother's day out tomorrow.  So hopefully she will have fun and learn from the other babies in the class.  I am sure that we are both going to cry tomorrow when I drop her off.  Luckily James is going to be there to make me leave the room!
