8 months!

March 21, 2010

Sadie is now 8 months, really? yesterday I was in the hospital meeting her for the first time. Time is going by so fast and my little baby is turning into a toddler! Sadie weighs 19 lbs 10 oz!



March has been a exciting for a couple days we went to Arizona. Thursday, we drove the LONG 9 hours, Thank goodness we stopped and got Auntie Britt in Page to go the rest of the way with us she was a HUGE help.



FriDAY, Sadie, Auntie Amber and Mommy went to the Phoenix Zoo, all and all it was a good trip, Sadie enjoyed looking at the Elephant and Rhino FAR away from her, but the petting zoo was her most tramatic experience she had no clue what to think about these animals walking around her.





This monkey was not her favorite, she turned and saw it and started crying bloody murder. Thank goodness I got a pic before she seen him or her.



Not even 3 hours later Sadie told us she was done and it was time to head home.



Friday night Auntie Michelle, Auntie Britt, Mommy, and Sadie went to SUSHI and Sadie was practicing her chopstick skills so one day she can eat it too (Mommy cant wait to have a buddy to go eat sushi with!)

SaturDAY & SunDAY we spent with Daddy. Saturday Night Auntie Amber, Auntie Silly, Mommy and Sadie went to Chandler Mall for a little browsing, then to Golden Spoon for some dessert!



Sunday afternoon we headed home, it took a crazy 12 hours (we were stopped at the Hoover Dam for 3+ hours) We are happy to be home and back to the norm.

Sadie is scooting herself backwards and is starting to army crawl for a couple seconds. She is a little curious about everything! In this pic she started in front of her circle pillow and ended up here, btw she didn't go over the pillow!



She is saying "baba" more and more and is holding her own bottles! She still hates baby food but loves real food, Daddy said only he can treat her to chocolate chip cookies, cheetos, and chocolate donuts. (Dont worry mommy only let her suck on them for a little bit)



Sadie is almost too big for her baby car seat so we bought a new one, Sadie enjoyed trying it out in the living room.



After much deliberation about her "tail" and getting daddys permission it was time to go: BEFORE:



and AFTER:



Bugga Bug Happy 8 months you are the most precious thing in our life and we love you more and more each day!

7 months!!

February 26, 2010

Sadie turned 7 months a week ago, she is growing so big. She now weighs 18 lbs 8 oz and wearing 12 month clothes! She is sitting up on her own (but falls when she reaches for toys out of her reach)Still not rolling or crawling but doing lots of talking, screeching, and laughing! She is such a happy little girl!



She is learning how to use a sippy cup, she rather hold it and tip it upside down then hold it in her mouth. But we will keep trying to get a hang of it!



She got a hold of an oreo and I tried taking it away and she cried so I thought she would just hold it since she had her binkie in her mouth, next thing I know she looks like this and the oreo was completely gone.. Her hands, shirt, pants, socks, and face were a mess!



Waiting for dinner in her new high chair. She loves playing with her spoons while I'm mixing her food.



She went swimming for the first time and she was so confused on what was going on and not liking it so much, she was in and out in 2 minutes. She loves her baths so I dont know what was wrong!



Mommy was painting her toe nails and decided to have a mommy/daughter moment! Why not?



Sadie has become a daring little girl, first she dived off the couch and then the bed! Heres her "ouchies"



Look at this excited face, haha I love it!



We love our Bugga Bug oh so much and love her growing!

6 months

January 25, 2010

Sadie turned 6 months and wow has time flew by. At her 6 month check up she weighed 17 lbs 11 oz and was 27 3/4 inches long. Thats just crazy to me that she has grown so much in just 6 months.



She is starting to learn all new things. She grabs her binkie and moves it from one hand to another, in and out of her mouth and thrown on the floor and pick back up.



The other day she said "dada" a couple times and ever since wont say it again.



She just laughs, talks and moves around all the time. She's still not getting the hang of food, she can eat it she just refuses to and refuses to lay on her stomach so she may never start crawling... probably walking first.



Everyday she makes everything so much fun and I just love having her. Recently I got her a new crib and decorate her walls with her name... I spray painted them black so they are a little shiny black instead of the white they used to be. She just LOVES staring at the letters I guess the money didnt go to waste :)

December..

January 6, 2010

December was a busy month, like every year. Sadie and I went back to Mesa for the 2 week break and did SO much stuff we were going and going. Daryl's cousins do roping and so we went to Winslow for the day and Sadie saw horses for the first time and absolutely LOVED them, she was even brave enough to touch the neck and pet the hair. We got to see Daryl twice and Sadie was sooo happy to see him, she talked to him and laughed with him. Overall it was a very good visit to Arizona. Sadie was spoiled by her grandparents, aunts and uncles for Christmas. So much that we couldnt fit everything in our suitcases (I left room to bring stuff back). For new years i made chicken salad sandwiches for Daryl's family and some yummy chocolate coverd strawberries. It was a good way to spend New Years with family. Then a couple night later we made smores in the backyard fire pit. Finding my new way to be a good mommy but still have a blast for holidays and those are some good memories!

Now were back in St. George, this week has been busy getting ready for school and finding someone to watch Sadie. I have found someone who is really great and I think Sadie will be perfectly fine and when she gets a little older will have a blast with all the activities. Music, Art (she will get to "paint" with pudding and squeeze jello while she is too little for crayons), Reading, and Outside time for the couple hiurs she is there! I am back to school Monday for 12 credits (full-time) so thats my new adventure this year. Which will keep me SUPER busy but get me that much closer to my career goals! So im excited!!

Sadie turned 5 months December 21st, She is still growing sooo much and it is so adorable physically and developmentally. I just got my new camera and will get pictures up the next blog when she turns 6 months.. so until then!

4 months already..

November 24, 2009

Sadie is 4 months already, time is flying! A couple weekends ago we went to Page,AZ to see Daryl's family and had a laugh dinner (a dinner in the navajo culture) with tons of extended family there. It was the first night Sadie slept not in her bed but she did really good.
Not as many pictures this time around, my camera is just taking straight black pictures now so will have to wait for a new one.



She got her christmas present a little early, she doesnt like sitting in it for a long time but thinks its pretty amazing for a couple minutes. She can sit up for a couple seconds without any help, so in time she might like her new toy when its easier to hold herself up.

We are heading to Gilbert/Mesa tonight, the first time Sadie will be down there. This weekend will be the first time Daryl gets to see and hold Sadie (he's only seen pictures) so I am extremely excited for her to see her daddy and for him to see her.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

3 months

October 31, 2009

Sadie girl turned 3 months 10 days ago.. how time flys. She is getting sooo big she weighed in last week 13 lbs 6 oz, doubled her birth weight she is a monster!

She is laughing all the time and is a very happy girl never fussy unless she is hungry. She got her ears pierced a couple weeks ago, some bling bling!

She's really good at just laying down playing with her toys so I can take a shower, do homework and just get a moment to relax.


For Halloween she was a fairy princess, we didnt go trick or treating tonight (too cold) but we went to my aunts halloween party monday and that was good enough, she still is too little to really even hold candy in her hand.Life is crazy and school is making me busy busy I dont have enough time to always post a blog. Next weekend we are going to Page to see Daryl's family for Sadie's laugh dinner and I have to take a class so we should have fun! More posts to come as the holiday season is coming and trips to Page and Gilbert to see family and school ending!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

2 months

A week ago Sadie turned 2 months, time is flying by last Wednesday she went in for her 2 month shots and Im pretty sure I cried more than she did. She now weighs 11 lbs 4 oz (55%)and is 22 inches long(50%). She is almost double her birth weight and is finally getting chubby! It is so fun to see her growing and now she's ooohhhing and gawwing and smiling more and more (except she refuses to smile when I have the camera) Smart little one!
She's starting see her feet and thinks they are most amazing thing to stare at and tries to grab her hair bows, sometimes I find her and they have ended up around her neck.
She is starting to use her strong legs to push against things and can skoot herself a couple inches she will be crawling in NO TIME!
On September 6th was Sadies Baby Blessing, she was blessed by my brother and had a lot of family from both mine and Daryls side travel their way to St. George to be there for this special day. 1 of the 3 most amazing days she will have in her life. Here she asleep after her blessing on her native rug/blanket with her bracelet her Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Sallie gave her. A little bit of both her cultures, she is one blessed little girl to have amazing family. An offically was given her name Sadie Manson.

1 month


oh my goodness! How time is flying by. Sadie is 1 month old today and it still feels like just yesterday I was in the hospital just waiting for her to make her entrance to this world!

A couple days ago she FINALLY made her way into her 0-3 month clothes, I was waiting and waiting so she could start wearing cute outfits (premie and newborn clothes are hard to find cute) But she still a little bit big in them but thats not stopping me!
She's been kind cranky lately, shes having a hard time digesting her formula so hopefully soon her stomach will get used to it and she starts having easier days!

2 weeks

We had a rough couple days this week, she wasnt sleeping at all (which isnt normal for her) but now we are doing good since I finally figured out she just wasn't getting enough to eat. She's getting enough to eat now and sleeping wonderful.

Yesterday Sadie had her 2 wk follow-up appointment. She is growing like a little weed, she already is 7 lbs 5 oz (19%) 20 3/4 inches long (64%) She still is really skinny compared to her height but her chubby cheeks are going chubbier everyday. Today she is 17 days old but it feels like just yesterday I was in the hospital meeting my new little girl.

Tomorrow we will be taking her first road trip to Page,AZ to visit Daryl's extended family for her baby shower. I will post pictures of that and of her growing so big... soon hopefully. I hoping we have a good trip and she sleeps the whole time in the car and is awake for some the time we are there so her family can see her pretty brown eyes. But I know she is a baby and there's always no promises. This will be an adventure in itself.... I CAN'T WAIT I will finally be getting outta this town after 7 months of being a prisioner :)
