Time for Veggies!!!

Well we started Veggies Monday night. Sadie had been doing really well with her cereal so we decided she was ready! Here's a before picture!

I wish I would have taken a video of it! It was too funny! Every bite she took, she would leave it in her mouth and the scrunch her face up and do a quick shake of her head! Like she was saying YUCK! I hope she likes veggies! Jeff HATES them! I should have probably started with a better veggie! I hope I didn't ruin her eating them! Here are a few more pics!

My newest craft project

I have more to come... but here is the first one I have done!

Sadie's Exersaucer

We put Sadie in her exersaucer for the first time last week! She LOVES it. Here are a few picutres!

She has also figured out how to put her bottle in her mouth when she is hungry... she even recognizes it when I am making it. She just hasn't figured out that you have to tilt the bottle backwards!

Our FIRST Halloween

I was looking forward to Halloween for a solid 2 months. Jeff and I get Sadie a ladybug costume when she was only 1 month old!! HA! My mom made her several cute onesies and I even bought one! The day before Halloween we went to a playdate at Molly & Kaitlin's house. Then that night we went to the Carter Ranch Fall Festival. I didn't think to dress her up that night, so she wore one of her onesies (that she will never be able to wear again... hopefully the next one will be born around the same time as Sadie!). Then on Halloween I had my Encouragment Friday at church with my Mom2 Mom group. I didn't hear much of the speaker because Sadie decided to fight her nap the ENTIRE time. Afterwards we came home and Jeff took off a half day. We hung around the house then went to trick or treat on the square here in Celina and walked around for awhile.Afterwards we went to the Big Orange Pumkin Farm in Celina. This place is SO neat. They have a petting zoo, hayrides, and you get to pick your own pumkin. Jeff said this HAS to be a tradition we do every year!

We even go a great family picture with Sadie smiling... if only I was having a better hair day!!!

We headed home from there to hand out candy in the neighborhood. We sat out on our front porch (one of our favorite things to do when its nice out) and got to see all the different costumes. Some were so creative and cute!!! By the end of the night, Sadie was Wiped Out!

OH! And, we already have next years costume planned... that will be a surprise, BUT if you know us, you know what she will be!!!

She's 4 months!!!

Sadie had her 4 month visit and shots. She is now 24.5 inches long and 13 lbs. She is still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but the length is too short on her! We always so she's waiting on a flood! She can hold her head steady, roll over one way, reach things, bable like you wouldn't believe, hold things... its amazing! Monday morning we started cereal for the first time. It wasn't awful, but no 1st time successes.... we'll keep working on it.

Last weekend

Last weekend Jef and I, and our friends Dan and Amy, went camping out at Dinasour Valley State Park in Glen Rose. Thank you Mom and Shannon for watching Sadie for the weekend! It was such a perfect camping weekend. We set our camper up Friday night, cooked dinner and then hung around a campfire. Then Saturday got up and cooked breakfast and went for a 2 hour hike. I don't know that my body was quite ready for some of the hiking, or I chould say climbing, that was going on since my c-section... but I did it! Then we came back, got showered up, had lunch and then went to Fossil Rim. Fossil Rim is a wildlife deal that you can drive through and see all the animals. You can even feed a giraffe out of your hand!!! So neat! THen when we were done we headed back and got dinner started, made smores, and relaxed. Sunday when we were heading back we were listening to our voicemails... my sister called and said Sadie rolled over 4 times! I cried because I missed it!!! But as soon as I got there to pick her up I got to see her do it myself! We, or I should say, I forgot my camera. SO... no pictures!

I need to do better!

I realized today, I haven't posted in a few weeks!

Well, last weekend we went down to Stephenville for the Griffin Family Reunion. It was such a nice weekend. We enjoyed seeing everyone and not to mention having some time to get away and be out in the country! Sadie got to meet her great grandpa Whitt and her newest cousin Hadley, she's 3 weeks in this picture.

Then, Monday Jeff left for Austin for the week. It was a long week, with Sadie teething, it got rough a few times. But, Thursday Jeff got back and we had a great weekend! Yesterday we wnt and signed up for a gym membership. LA Fitness offers childcare for 3 months and up!!!! YEAH! When my frien Tawny came in town this past week and I saw how great she looked, she had a baby 3 days after me, I was motivated!!!! We start tomorrow!!!! Saturday morning, Jeff kept Sadie while I got my hair cut and colored. I hadn't had it colored since Oct. of LAST year! Then we went and hung around Frisco and had BBQ at Spring Creek! YUM! When we got home I had to take Sadie's picture on our door step. She looked too cute in the onesie my mom made!

Today we went to church, had Quizno's and home to watch the Cowboys!!! Wish me luck tomorrow! I'm sure I'll be sore!
