The Past Few Weeks

The past few weeks have been busy ones here at our house and blogging has not been my top priority (I know it is a shock), so now I am playing catch up. We have packed and unpacked and moved up to Kaysville, UT and are pretty much settled in. And I can not explain how nice it is to have Devin only driving 15 minutes to work instead of 60, we feel like we have gotten 2 hours of our life back. We are really loving our new place and we are loving Kaysville, it a fun little town. But, before our big move we were up to a few things.

My wonderful friend Jena came to stay and visit us for a few days from Cinncinatti. It was SO fun to have her here and to be able to catch up. It was great to shop, go out to eat and just stay up late talking. Jena, thanks for coming to visit us we had so much, we can't wait for you to come again soon! And I am working on Sadie saying "Jena", hopefully by the next time you come!

We also celebrated Devin's first Father's Day! Sadie and I framed her handprint and made a little gift for Daddy. We had a fun day with family. I am truly grateful for a wonderful husband who is an amazing dad, I am glad we had a day to show him how much we appreciate him. We are also grateful for our wonderful fathers and grandfathers, we love you.

And of course Sadie has gotten even bigger and more active over the past few weeks. As you can tell from the picture above she is loving it at our new home. She is 8 months old now and is into everything. She loves talking (pretty much "Da Da" is the word of choice) and inching along on her little belly to get where she wants to go. Her inch worm crawl is the topic of conversation every where we go, we love it and think it is the cutest thing ever. She is starting to get on her knees and rock and move a few steps with her knees, but if she really wants to get somewhere quickly that is where the inch worm comes in handy. She is also pulling her self up to standing using furniture. She LOVES the coffee table and many days she spends hours standing up and then falling down on her bum around it. She likes to stand up and yell to us proudly. We got a gate for the stairs at our new home, but she really has taken no interest in them yet, she does have an interest though in everything else she is not suppose to have like paper, pens, my keys, cords, etc. And our new favorite thing is chewing on her crib with her two little teeth. We seriously can not believe all of the damage she has done with just two teeth! She is still a good little eater and is loving trying new food. When she is excited about something we know it because she moves her arms up and down really fast and talks, it is so fun. She is now also bathing in the big girl tub and loves it. She flips from her back to her belly and then to her back again, we are getting a little wetter than before, but it is completely worth it to see the joy on her face. We are loving watching her personality come alive. We LOVE you Sadie!
