She is not going to have any posts if I keep neglecting this blog....
Sadie is growing up so fast.  She is almost ready for nursery (for us Mormons we live for the day our babies turn 18 months so that they can finally be babysat by the nursery workers and us parents can enjoy sunday school...at least I do!)
She already has four molars and four front teeth on top and bottom!  She really wants to feed herself (although I don't let her very often cause I just don't have time to deal with the ensuing mess)  She is very good at communicating without using many words.  She picks up my toe and says UP if she wants me to go somewhere.  She will tell me NIGH-NIGH and point to the couch if she wants to sit on the couch and nurse.  She even tricks us by telling us that she wants to kiss shelbie good night (by puckering up and saying MWAA) but she really just wants us to get her up on the top bunk to play and pushes shelbie's face away when she comes in for the kiss she offered.  Sadie loves to DRAW-DRAW!!!  markers, crayons, chalk....anything she can get her hands on she loves to draw with then she promptly chews on it, yuck.  The other day she offered me a bite of her food, I leaned down with my mouth open to get that bite then she pulled her hand back behind her ear and laughed when I gasped at her!  I had never tricked her like that but she does has 3 olders so I am sure she picked it up that way, but it was hilarious.
Sadie will hand me a book (most likey Chicka Chicka ABC) and then turn around and back up and plop into my lap.  I love that she knows whats coming and will turn around and look at me with a smile knowing I am going to read a certain part in a funny way. love it!  She also likes Dr. Seuss' ABC book (you know, Big A Little a what begins with A?) and a dora book we have that has buttons to push that make sounds.
Oh, I need to add that Sadie LOVES shoes and the moon.  She will put on any shoes in site and is she sees her shoes will always "ask" for me or someone to put them.  We always go out and look at the moon in the sky and we have to stay out there a long time and when I am tired of looking at the moon and want to go inside she cries like I am leaving forever! It's so funny.  Now we like to look at the moon through the window and even sometimes she is tricked by the reflection of the light!

so, that's just a little update on our sweet Sadie girl.  She is always so happy and fun.  She is friendly to everyone she sees an1d is just a cutie pie!  We all love her so much.  Oh, I should add that Scotty is head over heals in love with his little sister!!! He can't get enough of her.  He even told me that he has to come out of Sacrament Meeting with me when I nurse her because he was born loving her so much and needs to be with her.  :-)  Every morning when he sees her for the first time, he squeals her name and smiles huge like he is seeing her for the first time.  Love it!

Shelbie's Poem

V-day Song!
You are the key to my heart, baby
you lead the pathway through the darkest sky
you shine like the brightest star in history
you are the key to my heart.

(i just found this from LAST valentine's day)

Merry Christmas!


For the five people that read this I never got around to doing Christmas cards...actually I wasn't planning on doing them this year because we have been so busy around here with construction stuff. But I found this great picture I took one Sunday morning. Every just happened to be wearing red and black and it was was few weeks before Christmas so I made them take a shot. So I am posting it cause I think my kids are pretty cute and I want to share that with you. :-)
