Happy 8th month birthday Sadie!

It's hard to believe our sweet Sadie is 8 months! Time has really flown by! Saturday when we were ove at my parents house Sade was playing on her stomach and managed to push herself up into the seated position! It was cool to be able to watch her do it! She's not quite crawling yet, but is able to get around with a combination of scooting and rolling.It won't be long now before out little bugger is into everything (even more than she already is!) She loves all baby food, except bananas. She eats cheerios and Gerber Puffs and loves apple juice.

It has become very apparent in the last few weeks how much Sade really loves to be around people. It always takes her a few minutes to figure out if she knows them or not, I can tell she's thinking because she puts her finger in her mouth while she's looking at them, but after a few minutes she's found a new best friend. She's a stinker! She has learned to cough or make a growling noise if the person is talking to someone else and not to her. Saturday after we had gotten home from my parents house, Sade was very crabby, crying, and just not herself the majority of the day (a case of diaper rash had presented itself as well). We went to a family get together that night, I was really nervous because of how she had been that whole day, and of course she was sweet as pie. Many comment on how sweet and good she is, which is true 99% of the time. It's always of course in the privacy of our own home that we get to see crabby Sadie, which isn't often, but still.

We haven't had any problems getting her to sleep in her room or through the night. She's also pretty much right on with all the milestones she's supposed to be making right now. It took her longer than babies born the same time, to sit up but the dr. said that was because she is so tall and thick.

The last few weeks have been VERY busy for Sadie. She has and will continue to have many parties to attend, pools to swim in, people to scope out, and festivals to "get down at". Here is just a sampling of some of the events from the last week. We went to Irish Fest in downtown Waterloo, and of course Sade had to wear her Shamrock dress, we also went to the public pool for the first tme, Sadie LOVED it, we stayed for more than an hour.

. After the swimming pool! Someone didn't want to leave!

Grandpa and Sadie at Irishfest!

She loved the music and the dancers! Although you cant tell from just looking at it, she's yelling at me because I was doing something else and not talking to her :) What a stinker!
