9 months and counting :)

well my friends, sheepishly i write this because it's been so long since i've posted anything about our dear sweet sadie. based on last night, however i can take out the dear and sweet part. our little baby girl decided even though she had been sleeping through the night for more than 5 months now, she would throw her poor parents for a loop and cry almost exactly every 20 minutes from about midnight on. one of us would rush in to see what was wrong, realize she was still sleeping, crying in her sleep. put the pacifier that was usually laying right next to her back into her mouth and she would quiet down again. we have begun to realize that sade really does run the show around our house, whether or not we like it, she's in charge. i'm not sure if i've mentioned this is previous posts but she coughs or growls when the attention is not focused on her. she also has begun to show some signs of seperation anxiety, it's very different from that sweet little independant baby who would go to just about anything. the last few nights while reading books, i will stop and she will start to rock and whine until i pick up another one, which i suppose is good that she's crying for more books, however....
she's got those two teeth coming in on the top, it also looks as if there are more coming in on the bottom. sade has also become quite the consiour of fine cuisine at our house. she eats ground turkey, peas, carrots, sweet potatotes, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, apples, pears, peaches, cheese, yogart, green beans (not very well) beets, and of course graham crackers, nilla wafers, and cheerios. we are exploring new foods every week with the hope that she will have a well rounded palate, or just take after almost every other baby/toddler and just want hotdogs. ha!
sade is moving around really well also now. she's crawling, as well as pulling herself up on her knees. she reaches for things that are out of her grasp, loves to pull dvds and her books off the shelves. she likes anything that makes noise, especially pots and pans. but her main love, always has and always will be willie, her favorite doggie in the entire world :)











sade's first cross country meet.

she's a little too long for the crib already...

we moved the crib down shortly after her nap


she actually got stuck in this position and was yelling at me to help

making "music" with josh in the kitchen

he's teaching her how to tap the pot


she scooted all the way to the cabinets because she was so excited!
