Sadie is ONE! and Trick of Treat!

Sadie eating her first Oreo, do you think she liked it?

On October 29th Sadie turned ONE, I can't believe my baby is one!! Her actual birthday was on a Thursday, but we decided to have her party on Saturday which was Halloween. On her actual birthday I decided that we should do something fun, so I took her to a fun center in Layton that has big blowup bouncy toys. She was a little hesitant at first, but then got into it and had a really good time. I would have to say that her favorite thing at the fun center was Skee-ball, they gave us tokens when we paid and all she wanted to do for the first half hour was play Skee-ball which was funny, but fine by me because it is my favorite arcade game! She won a slinky which she also loved and you can see she has with her in the above picture! Then that night we decided to not give her, her cake but we gave her an Oreo which she loved. I think she liked it more that her cake, so I was wishing I just gave her a pack of Oreos instead of taking a few hours to make her pumpkin cake!

On Saturday we had her party over lunch and both our families came. Sadie was a little overwhelmed and confused, but I think that is normal at every one year old party. I tried to get things that she lived, so I put jack-o-lantern punch balloons around and that seemed to make her happy! We had a yummy lunch and we made spider web cupcakes and witches for dessert, Sadie had her pumpkin shaped cake. She loves to eat, so we thought she would dive right in, but then realized she was nervous with everyone watching her, so she kind of just poked at her cake. When I put pieces in her mouth though, she did seem to like it! While Devin opened her presents all she really wanted to do was suck on a carrot, but now that we are home she is really liking all of her toys, books and clothes! Thank you to everyone who came, thank you for all of the wonderful presents and for celebrating with us.

Sadie the Butterfly!

After the party Sadie took a 3 hour nap, she partied hard, and then we got ready to go trick or treating! She looked adorable in her butterfly costume, but it was hard to get a good picture of her because she just wanted to chase my parents dog, Kosi and feed her crackers. So I don't think I really got a still picture of her the whole night! In my parents neighborhood they have a big park and everyone brings their cars and goes trunk or treating. It was so much fun, Sadie loved trick or treating with Carson, Brynnley, Daddy, Grandpa, Aunt Val and me (Grandma and Uncle Kyle manned the candy). I don't think she really knew what was going on, but when Devin showed her the sucker, she knew she liked what ever we were doing. I think most of all though she loved all of the dogs, she just loves dogs! A lot of people had brought their dogs with them down to the park, so she was really excited and would say "Dog, Dog" every time she saw or pet one. We had a really fun night!!

Sadie in now 20.72 lbs (45%) and 28.94 in (45%). She is loving being able to walk around and get into everything, she is pretty much running. She loves music and dances every time it comes on, I love it! She loves her stuffed animals, especially her giraffe that she sleeps with. She would love to have him with her every where but we make her leave him in her crib when she is not sleeping. Right now she loves carrying things back and forth to us and showing things to us. She loves balls; all kinds, big or small, she gets excited about all of them. She is babbling all of the time, but the words she can say are; Mama, Dada and Dog. She loves dogs and started off calling just dogs, dogs, but at the moment all animals are dogs! She makes us laugh everyday playing peekaboo behind doors, she thinks she is so funny. She also loves hitting her mouth and making "Indian noises", which is pretty interesting during church! She likes running away and then being chased and caught! We love her so much and are so grateful she is ours! Happy 1st Birthday Baby!
