The Beginning

I can't believe I finally got this going! I think this will be a great way for everyone to keep up with us...what am I saying, I mean Sadie!  I wish I would have done this earlier, but I thought this was a whole lot harder than it really is.


I ALSO can't believe it's been almost a year already. I thought I would start off by posting a few pictures to recap the year.

Our precious daughter was born on September 23, 2009 at 5:35 PM. She weighed 7 pounds and 10 ounces.

Sadie had many visitors over the first couple of weeks and months. Here she is with her cousin Tallen.

We had ourselves a little butterfly for Halloween! Daddy even carved a pumpkin,

She wasn't exactly thrilled about the costume.

Her first winter brought SNOW!! She was not very impressed.

We thought we might have a thumb sucker, but she never quite took to it after we caught her here.

Sadie had a busy Christmas! She traveled to Columbus, San Antonio, and Boerne!

We had lunch with Ba and Aunt Joan on Valentine's Day! Sadie was sporting her new sunglasses that Daddy bought her.

 

At 6 months, Sadie's first tooth broke through. She also started swim class! She has enjoyed learning how to swim. She can now hold her breath for 6 seconds!!

Sadie started crawling in month 7. This was the first time she was allowed to roam free in the grass! She enjoyed tasting leaves and grass! She also started Gymboree classes this month. She loves visiting her friends and playing on the ramps.

Sadie took her first steps at 10 1/2 months! However, she preferred crawling over walking until recently! She's now walking everywhere on her own.

She loves her Daddy! She walks to greet him when he gets home from work! I think it melts his heart!!

My heart is exploding with love for this precious gift!!! She is absolutely perfect!!
