Gymboree!!!

Sadie and I were invited to join Ian and Manon at Gymboree today. It is a lot like Little Gym or MyGym... which she always has loved! The second we got there, I put her down, she looked around and then looked up at me with a huge smile. She had a blast. Today was "tunnels day", but she had way more fun running after the balls and climbing on top of everything. At the end they have circle time and blow bubbles, sing songs and play with the parachute! She was in heaven! I took a few pictures of the free play... enjoy!!!

Watch out world!

We've got a walker! Sadie is doing so well. She still stumbles and falls, but most of the time gets right back up and walks some more. Its funny, because she looks quite a bit like Bambi trying to gain her balance!!! Our little bug is growning up!

Happy 4th of July!

We had the best 4th of July weekend! On Friday Jeff worked until noon and then we left for Fort Worth. We stopped for lunch at Which Wich (our favorite sandwich shop) and then got back on our way. We took Sadie to the zoo and walked around for about 2 hours. She loved the penguins most of all, I think! After we left, Sadie zonked out in the car and we drove around TCU area and looked at all the houses. We dreamed about what it would be like to own one of those gorgeous old homes! I just love them. Then we headed back up to Frisco, walked around the mall and had a cookie or two ;). After that we went to Boston's... I love Boston's!!! Jeff can have pizza and I can have whatever I please! GREAT compromise! By the time we got home Sadie had a bath and was off to bed!


On Saturday we had a lazy morning then after lunch went swimming for awhile. Came back home and we all took a nap. When Sadie woke up we got ready to go to Frisco Freedom Fest. It was UNBELIEVEABLY hot! We couldn't enjoy it at all. So what did we do? We ate some more! This time, On The Border! Sadie loves the bean and cheese nachos! We stopped and got ice cream on the way home and then off to bed. I wanted to watch the fireworks, but it would have been way to late for Sadie, so we watched them on tv... New York's were great!

I didn't take many pictures... with the heat, it was hard to do much of anything! But here are a few of Sadie before we left the house on Saturday!

1 year pictures

I decided since we were at the beach, to attempt taking our own 1 year pictures. I'm pretty happy how most of them turned out. Here are a few of my favorites.

Sadie is 1!!!

I can't believe it! A year has already flown by! Before you know it, Christmas will be here, we will have a newborn, and Sadie will be 18 months old! OH MY GOODNESS!

We had 2 parties for Sadie this year. One in Stephenville and one in Alabama while we were on vacation. Which also meant 2 cakes!!! Sadie didn't quite get it the first time around, but did a little better the 2nd. Here are a few pictures from Stephenville:


And Alabama:


She is now 19 lbs. 12 oz (10%) which the dr. said not to be worried about, in the 75%for height and 50% for her head. She is babbeling like crazy-don't know who she gets that from ;). She can say mama, dada, momo (for Romo), No ma (No mamma), no no no, hewo (hello), hi, bye bye. She will play peekaboo, patty cake, and do "big girl" (raise her arms in the air). She's not eating tons of table food, but doing better. She loves green bean, any kind of bread, mac and cheese, and has eaten a little bit of a chicken nuggett. Other than that, she will pick it up, put it to her lip, and act like she's gagging... silly girl!

It has been a great year... God truly blessed with a precious little girl!

Dr. visit

We had my first Dr. visit last week with Dr. Bailey! I just love her! It was so weird to be back in there already and to have Sadie with us. We got to see Baby #2 and hear and see the little heart beat! I have a strong feeling it is a boy. I told Jeff the day I found out I was pregnant with Sadie, she was a girl. Who knows though! I really, honestly, don't care either way! It would be great for Sadie to have a little sister, but a boy would be lots of fun too! The visit went great. My due date is Jan. 3, but I will have a c-section on Dec. 22 or 23. We will decide the actual date closer to time. I had to have a c-section with Sadie, due to complications. Dr. Bailey said that those sorts of complications, tend to repeat themselves. I'm completely fine with it! This time, I will have a day of beauty (I'll tell Jeff that later) right before, and then when I go in, there wont be all that waiting around and pain. It will be go in and get it done! I recovered very quickly after my c-section with Sadie. So hopefully I will again!

11 months

It feels like just yesterday I blogged about Sadie turning 10 months... where does the time go!? Sadie turned 11 months on Sunday. We had a great day! A few Farm Bureau friends came over and we cooked out! I completely forgot to take pictures! I am so thankful for the friendships we have made through Jeff's work. Truly, these people have become our second family! Anyways... before everyone came over, we worked on the patio. We built a swing and got a few plants and 2 more chairs. My sister's in-laws, who I've known as my own family since I was 9, gave Jeff and I a great patio set when we got married. We love it! Sadie loved playing with all the kids. She is a bit of a bully to the kids younger than her (watch out Peanut Whitt). But loves watching the kids older than her! Sadie is now standing on her own... still unsure of herself, but she can do it. I caught her standing perfectly fine holding onto a pair of shoes. I think she thought she was holding onto the bookshelf or something like that. She walks holding onto one hand! Sadie now has 6 teeth and is working on cutting 2 more on bottom, which has been rough! She will now eat cheerios, puffs, yogurt melts... but that is about it. I will put something on her tray for her to try and usually it ends up on the ground for Romo to eat. If you try to put it in her mouth for her, she fights it and then gags... even if it is only on her lip! I think we have a bit of a drama queen! :)

Her stats are:
Just under 19 lbs and 29 1/2 in. long. Still skinny and long!
