Sadie turns 2!

It's hard to believe that Sadie has turned two. It actually has been about a week, but life is just flying by these days and this has been my first chance to blog. Actually, I tried to get it done a couple days ago, but the cameara wouldn't download the pictures, then the internet was being irritating and after about thirty minutes, I gave up. So, here we are, trying again.

We have had a very busy October with getting Sadie's new room ready, family visiting, celebrating a birthday, doctor's appointments, school, etc. Thanks to lots of help from grandparents, I think we got most of it accomplished. Now on to Sadie...

She has turned 2 and is loving every minute, or at least she acts like she is. She is such a happy little girl and we are so thankful for her. She just has a joy inside her that I really think is contangious. She is in a "baby music" class that a teacher at Gabe's school is doing once a week. She is close to the oldest one in the class and she dances around and loves to participate. She also goes to "tumblebugs" once a week and has a lot of fun with that. She can jump with two feet now on the trampoline and can walk across the soft little balance beam by herself. Don't ask her to do a front roll though, she will quickly say, "No." It's a parent and tot class so Gabe will just pick her up and flip her over so she has to do it, but for some reason she never wants to. She loves to get her stamps and a "sicle" after class. (that's what she says for popsicle)

Our sweet Sadie is talking and talking now and learning new words everyday. She keeps us laughing and half the time we are guessing trying to figure out what she is saying. Once we get it, it makes perfect since, but it can take us a while sometimes. She says," Cackle, Cackle" for "Twinkle, Twinkle" and she says this anytimes she sees something with stars on it. She also asks for "apples" whenever she wants oatmeal and we don't really know why. That's just a couple of her funny ones right now. She also thinks that she knows what color things are, but she says everything is blue or pink.

We are just loving being with our sweet girl and are looking forward to what God has planned for her. Everyone has told us that time will fly by and the first two years definitley have. I know it's about to get really crazy at our house for a while, but I also know that it is only going to get better. Sadie has brought us such joy and I just love being her mom. I love when comes running and says, "Mama, Mama." I love that I get to kiss her each morning and tell her I love her everyday. I also love that I get to share her joy with other people and watch her bring others happiness. She is trully a blessing! I love you sweet girl! Happy 2nd birthday!

About to dive in to the cupcake. She actually blew out the candle byherself.

She didn't quite know what to do when we were singing Happy Birthday.

We were so glad that Fred, Alison, and Ian were able to come down for the afternoon since they have now moved to Amarillo. When they got to our house, Gabe and Fred were wearing the same shirt. Too funny!

Some of our friends that were able to come over. We are so blessed to have such great friends who give us so much support!
