13 months old!


Sadie, you have grown up so much this past month! You are now saying bye bye, amen, baby, apple, mama. You follow simple commands. You are walking more....but still prefer crawling. I try to just give you your paci at night and during naps and you do fine with that as long as you don't see it out. You are so much fun! Your favorite things are reading books (especially by yourself), wearing things on your head, bath time (you try to take off your clothes as soon as you see me run the water). You also try to put on your socks and shoes. You only like to wear one sock however, when in the house. You are getting more hair..it has curls in the back and two curls that stick out on the side. You are full of energy. You bit your brother for the first time and he was so sad. Luckily, it wasn't too bad. You definitely like to play rough with him. You are becoming more and more like a toddler, which makes me happy and sad all at the same time. I love watching you discover new things. You love to watch Thomas the Train with your brother and start dancing whenever you hear the music. You like to bounce on your trampoline and ride your horse that grandma made you. You are an amazing eater and eat everything! You normally eat oatmeal for breakfast, turkey and a veggie for lunch, and whatever we eat at night! You are still drinking breastmilk, but mostly just from a sippy cup now that you transitioned to beautifully! You drink around 20 oz a day now. I plan on pumping until February just to get through flu season. You have had whole milk without any problems though.

This is picture of your at 10:00 at night! You normally go to bed around 8:30 now, but some nights you are wide open lol.

Riding your first mall ride. Lucas was sweet and let you drive while he took the orders in the icecream truck


We love you Sadie Hannah!

Christmas pics and Riverbanks Zoo


Taking your pictures together at church!! So sweet! You are two of the most beautiful kids if I do say so myself : ).




Random picture of Lucas playing scientist lol.
 
Every year, we try to go to Riverbanks Zoo for their light show. This year, Lucas LOVES hotels and frequently pretends we are in a hotel, so we stayed in one for the night and he was SO happy. He wanted to go back when we were at the zoo! We ate at Texas Roadhouse with Uncle Lee, Aunt Kacie, and Levi. It was soo much fun as usual. We rode the merry go round and train at the zoo.
You both were soo cute riding in the wagon together all bundled up.

So sweet!








 To say that you enjoyed the hotel would be an understatement. lol. You also love exit signs..I know its random. So of course, we had to take your picture with these exit signs. You thought it was so funny because they were on the wall. You also remembered that the exit signs at Disney World were green and you thought that was soo funny too!
You wanted to be a big boy and drink out of a coffee cup like mama (Yours had water though)


Look how excited!! We want to stay in a hotel every weekend just because you love it so much.
The next morning, we ate at Cracker Barrel and headed home. I love our little family trips!

Thanksgiving and Picking out our Tree

Every year, we try to go to Gantt Street Baptist Church for their Pastor and Pastor's Wives appreciation dinner. It is always so much fun and so good to see everyone!


The Friday after Thanksgiving, Lee and Lucas had a father/son date and went to the movies! You loved it!!

Pictures with ma and pa at Thanksgiving!


Hanging out with Adeline!



Picking out our Christmas tree. We went with Uncle Colby, Aunt Ashley and Adeline and had a good night followed by pizza and our annual Christmas cookies!
 Lucas picked a really good tree this year!
 Eating cookies!

 Sadie got to eat her first cookie and LOVED it!

 Brother/sister fun. Sadie LOVES to put everything on her head. She constantly goes around the house with pants, underwear, shirts or whatever she can find and puts it on her head : )
 Sadie with her first taste of spaghetti!


Lucas loves spaghetti too!

 Sadie is also obsessed with hats! She goes into the closest and checks out Daddy's collection.

Eating apples together. I'm not sure how Sadie eats it with only 6 teeth, but she manages pretty well!


Sadie's 1st Birthday Party!

Your Birthday Party!! Lots of preparation goes into these birthday parties, but they are so much fun. You had a princess theme with pink and gold everything. I LOVED the crown and tutu that your wore! So girly and so fun! Unfortunately, you were like your brother, and did not really dive into your cake. It really surprised me though because you are such a good eater and love food! We had lots of wonderful friends and family there and you got lots of presents. You are one blessed little girl!! Here are a few pics from the special day!

Playing with your birthday cake...you really didn't like it on your hands.




Mama stealing sweet kisses from you!


Reading your new book from the Jarvis's.


Cupcakes and the cute marshmellow tutus we made!

I loved the way the banner I made and pumpkin carriage turned out!

We also had a yummy pumpkin dip and popcorn with pink chocolate drizzled on it!






I printed out all of your pictures from your first year. Also, I printed out the entries from this year from this blog.

Cute table set up with mason jars and cute pics.







Opening some presents.




It was so funny when you opened this gift. It is a baby doll with a paci, however, you took the paci from the baby and put it in your mouth : )




Happy Birthday Sadie!! We love you!!!
