Busy Girl!

This past week has been a busy one for us! For those of you who do not know, Sadie will be a new big sister in October! The news came to us as quite a surprise, but we have embraced it and are very excited for Sadie to have a new baby brother or sister! Speaking of babies, Sadie's Auntie Heather and Uncle Kyle welcomed their second baby, a boy, into the world this morning at 7:35 am. He weighed exactly 7 lbs and was 20 inches. He still remains nameless at this point, but we are hoping for a decision by tomorrow! The following is a collection of pictures from the past week, enjoy!

Sadie going through Mamma's wallet, practicing saying, "cheese!"

For a little girl that used to have trouble eating, how about this dinner of fish sticks and peas!

Sean has been practicing very hard teaching Sadie how to slam dunk.

This is from the night we told Sean's parents that we were expecting. Sadie wore a "big sister" bib, and celebrated by indulging in some chocolate pudding for the first time!

Sadie has just started art classes on Thursdays, and this is her first masterpiece- a tissue paper collection of fish :)

Sadie's new cousin!

He looks just like Cali did when she was born! Sean is pulling for either Michael or Patrick, and I like Noah or Jake, but Sadie seems to think he should be named, "BAAAAA" (her version of baby). But we know that whatever names his parents choose will fit him perfectly!

Ribbons and Bows

.......well not quite- more like clips and headbands, but same idea! Sadie's favorite drawer in the house is in the bathroom, the one that contains all of my hair supplies. Her favorite contents of the drawer are hair clips, which she hands to me and wants me to clip them into her hair. Sadie is really becoming such a "girl"- brushing her hair, trying on headbands. She has even learned how to send a text message...

Happy Heart Day!

Here are some photos from our family's Valentine's Day- Sadie loved her cards, stuffed animals, and visitors all day!

Sadie enjoyed dancing to her musical card from Mimi and Poppa.

Cali, Heather, and Kyle came over for a Valentine's visit.

Sadie enjoyed a Valentine's ride around the house in a laundry basket.

Popsicle

Sadie has been working on a few teeth for about 2 weeks now, and has definitely been a little cranky due to it. We gave her a popsicle last night for the first time in hopes of soothing her sore gums. 

Jewelry & Dancing

Yesterday Molly and her mom came over to visit for a bit. Molly loved wearing Sadie's purple necklace....

and Sadie loved trying to rip it off Molly's neck.

Tonight Sadie enjoyed clapping and dancing to her favorite DVD, Celtic Thunder.

Kitties and Bears and Frogs, Oh My!

Sadie woke up with a bit of a runny nose today, and took a killer nap while Mamma went to work. When she got up, she thought it would be fun to toss all of her stuffed animals over the side of her crib:

See ya later, froggy!

Adios, pink bear!

Sadie then got very upset when she had no more animals left to toss over, and decided she wanted out, too.

Once out of her crib, she decided to go through her box of animals, and toss all of them out, too.

out with the red bear

and in with the baby!

Sadie has been obsessed with cats lately, making "meow" sounds every time she sees an animal slightly resembling a cat (this includes dogs, squirrels, chipmunks, even a skunk in her book).

She also loves giving kisses....

...and making sure her animals show each other love, too.

She ended her afternoon with a few good rocks on her rocking lion, before emptying out her box of stuffed animals once again.
