M & C: Their Journey

Sadie 9 months.

- Our dear Sadie got an explosion of love this month and she did so well with it. My Brother and Sister plus their families came to Canada for a month and you would have thought Sadie was Princess Elsa from Frozen. Everytime we come over every child would run up to us yelling SADIE!!! and all want to smother her with hugs and kisses. One time at church Grandma was holding Sadie and had about 6 kids surrounding her trying to see Sadie. Adria told me that blake leaned over then and said "Who do you think is the most popular cousin? I think its Sadie" I think so too Blake!
- Is getting closer to crawling but it's still a struggle.
-Still no teeth! but she doesn't mind. It really hasn't stopped her from eating most anything. She loves grapes, which are just about the most annoying thing to feed a baby as you have to scrap off all the peel. And she got raspberries from grampy's garden for the first time and they are a hit with her.

Her first parade and Canada Day.

One of the young woman's rubbed her to sleep. It was so precious.

Hanging out with Grandma

The alfalfa sprout is back.

Loves time at the pool and playing with cousins.

Went on another carriage ride with Doc Jones. He took us all over town.

Sadie 8 months

- Started to say Ma Ma
- Continues to love the pool and even went down the waterslides with us.
- Switched from her rock and play into a pack and play. Mainly because we were worried this was hindering her from developing leg strength. In the rock and play she is always in a bent position and when she was out I often had her sitting up. She doesn't like to weight bare at all. (May 29)
-Update from being out of the rock and play for the last few weeks. She weight bares much better and is trying so so so hard to get into a crawl position. (June 13)
- Continues to love to eat any food
- Still nursing. The longest baby I have nursed so far.
- She is becoming a little stinker at night and thinks she wants to party with us. She has been staying up till 9-10 with us. I mean she is cute and I love spending time with her, but seriously, go to bed.
- Her hair is starting to come in a little more. I pretend like she has enough for a little pony tail and it is currently blonde.
- She loves watching David and Sienna and I can't wait till she is mobile and can follow them around and join in on their fun.
- Still can't crawl, but has learned what looks like a painful way to get around is do a back crawl. She arches her back and pushes off with her feet, scooting herself backwards. Maybe this is why she doesn't have a lot of hair.
- Had a scary choking incident. I had peeled off the plastic from a bubbles container and just put it next to me. (Big mistake) Sadie was sitting next to me and I didn't even notice her put it in her mouth. I went inside to cut her up some grapes. I start feeding them to her and she is like gagging on everyone and I was so confused cause she had ate them just fine the night before. Then she really starts gagging so I freak out and run into Matts office saying she is choking on a grape, so we both try getting our fingers down there and luckily we were able to swath the plastic out. Poor little thing spit out blood. I felt so bad.

Cutie sisters.

Came on a getaway with mom and dad to Kalispell. Eating at our favorite place "Echo Lake Cafe"

This girl loves FOOD!!!

Story time with David

Sadie- 7 months

You could probably read everything from month 6 and it would be about the same for month 7 for this little nugget.
- Likes to smack her lips or say ta ta ta.
- Went in the swings for the first time
- Eats most of the same things we do.
- loves to grab peoples toes.
- She wakes up so happy. Half the time we don't even know she is awake. So sometimes I feel like she took an awesome nap but then I really have no idea because I go in the room and she is just wide awake with a smile on her face.
- She does not like grass. No surprise there. But she does love to sit in the gravel at playgrounds and put rocks in her mouth... again, no surprise there.
