3 Months Old!

I can't believe it but yesterday Sadie was 3 months old! Time goes by so quickly and she is getting so big. Her favorite things right now are sitting on our bed with pillows around her and playing with her toys, she discovered last week that her hands are fun to suck on and she has not stopping sucking them since, she loves talking to herself in her crib, she loves playing on her playmat and tummy mat. She is rolling over from her stomach to her back. She loves when we stick our tongue out at her or when we make any noise with our mouth, she thinks it's so funny. She likes when we sing to her and do motions with her arms, her favorite songs are The Wheels on the Bus and A Little Canoe. She loves blowing bubbles with her mouth and making noise with her tongue. I love when she wakes up from her naps or when she wakes up in the morning and I go to get her and she gets a huge smile on her face when she sees me and kicks her legs. Whenever she is really excited she kicks her legs as fast as she can! We love her so much and are having so much fun seeing her little personality come out, each day she discovers something new and we are just so glad that we get to be her parents and watch her discover!

Magical Disney

We got back last week from a wonderful trip to Disney World. We had so much fun, it is such a magical place! From the moment we walked into the Magic Kingdom I was happy. The weather in Florida was between 70 and 80 the whole time we were there, it was perfect and we did not want to come back to the snow. Sadie was amazing on the trip, she slept great at night and took great naps in the Baby Bjorn everyday. Devin and I were able to get on rides and go to shows and parades with her strapped on us and the noise didn't even wake her up! As you can see from the pictures she was in the baby bjorn 90% of the trip and sleeping in most of our pictures. We had a great time spending the week with my family, it was fun to have everyone together. Thanks Dad and Mom for a wonderful trip!

Sadie's Baby Blessing

On Sunday we were able to have Sadie's baby blessing. Devin gave her a wonderful blessing that was so special. I am truly grateful for Devin, he is such an amazing person, husband and father. Sadie looked beautiful in her dress and was happy during the whole thing. I was told that all during the blessing she was looking up at Devin, I thought that was so sweet. It was a very special day for us!


CHRISTMAS

We had a wonderful Christmas this year, we were able to be with both our families which was great. But what made this Christmas so special was having Sadie there! Even though she slept through both Christmas mornings with both families, just having a child for Christmas was magical! We spent the 24th and 25th with the Smiths and 26th and 27th with the Fords. We had so much fun with both families. We decorated sugar cookies, had great food, played games, and just talked and laughed. Some of the highlights for me were Sadie's matching PJ's at the Smith's with all of the granddaughters, Camille falling down the stairs on Christmas morning and Sam's reaction on the video, Grandma Smiths face as she opened her new stovetop, shopping on the 26th with my Mom and Val and getting all of the good deals - Val running with her shopping cart at Target because she was so excited, Carsons excitement for everyones gifts not just his, reading the new Christmas book with the Fords, watching Sadie play on her new tummy mat and gym mat. Here are a few of my favorite pictures!





















Wonderful Friends

Just before Christmas I was able to get together with my some of my friends for a Christmas breakfast. My cute friend Jena was in from Cincinnati, it was so great to see her, I miss her so so much. My friends Tiffany and Megan also came, I was so happy to see them too! We had so much fun together and it made me realize how lucky I am so have such wonderful friends and made me wish we got to see each other more often!
