12 Month Stats!

Sadie had her 12 month well baby check up today. She is a very healthy and happy little girl! Here are her stats.....

Weight - 23.3 lbs (83 %tile)

Height - 30.5 inches (90 %tile)

Head Circumference - 19.1 inches (99 %tile)

She is above average on all...especially head! I don't think she has an abnormally big head but I guess 99% of babies have smaller ones than her. We like to think it's because she's so smart. In the picture she is wearing the cute dress that her Grandma Brereton gave her for her birthday....no smiles for this picture.

First Steps!

Sadie took her first steps on November 8, 2008. She was standing up next to mom and next thing we knew she took off....about 3 steps. She has been pretty proud of herself ever since but only does it on her terms. She is getting better and better with practice and we are looking forward to the new experiences that walking brings!

Happy Birthday Sadie!

Sadie turned ONE on November 6, 2008! She had such a fun day...or should I say Mom and Dad had such a fun day. Family and friends came over to help celebrate and have cake and ice cream. Sadie loved all the attention and has been enjoying her new toys that were given to her as gifts. She is one spoiled little girl!

Sadie's 1st Birthday Cake!

Her reaction to everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to her was priceless. She was loving every minute of it and even clapped when we were all done singing.

She had NO problem diving right into the cake!

This is Malissa and her little family. She watches Sadie during the day while mom is at work. From left to right is Devon, Cody, Malissa and her youngest Karson is down in the left hand corner helping Sadie open presents. Malissa was an answer to our prayers when we were looking for someone to watch Sadie. She has taken such good care of her and Sadie loves her and her boys so much! They are so cute with her and are the best kids ever! It makes it easier to go to work when you know your daughter is in good hands. We are so glad they came to the party to celebrate! Thank you Malissa for everything you have done....we LOVE you!

Halloween!

Sadie was a lady bug for Halloween. Her Aunt Jenny often refers to her as Sadie Lady Bug so we thought it was very fitting. She had a very eventful day starting with accompanying mom to work for awhile after which she went to visit Grandma and Aunt Rachelle at work and then on to Dad's work. We made it home just in time for a much needed nap and then it was off to the ward trunk or treat. Of course she had no idea what was going on but she was a good sport and had a lot of fun getting attention just for being so darn cute!

Have you ever seen a cuter lady bug?

She's a mischievious little lady bug! Look at that grin.

Sadie and our neighbor Scott became fast friends at the trunk or treat after he fed her a Pixie Stick!

Reading

I have found Sadie like this numerous times in the last month. She has found the joy of reading I guess. She will turn the pages, point to things, babble to herself and even crack herself up at times. Once she is done, she tosses the book aside and it's onto another one. It's been fun watching her entertain herself and enjoy her books so much.
