Long overdue update

Wow, where have the last couple of months gone? Sadie is now 14 months weighs 24 lbs and is growing and changing so much. She is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. We have been super busy the last couple of months and I have sucked at blogging.

I have committed to getting better and doing a better job of keeping up on how she is growing and changing. So here is what we have been up too:

We have been to MP once over the last couple of months. I was super excited to see some old friends and meet their cute kids. I used to kind of dread running into old friends when I went home for a fear of some secret judgement of I am not far enough along in my job or my life didn't measure up or wow sarah let her self go... You know the stuff that comes with a small town and people who have known you before you really became you. Now I find it to be such a joy, maybe its my own security in who I am but I love seeing my old friends who knew me when I was a kid. I love seeing how great they look and how wonderful their lives are. I really love meeting their little mini me's and seeing them as parents :) You all know who you are and I love you all.

Sadie and I have also been sick, passing germs back and forth. We experienced her first stomach bug. Not fun at all.

Sadie is talking up a storm, most of it we can't understand but she says Dada all the time! She understands more than she says. When we ask her to point to mommy or amy, she does and she knows her ears and hair.

She is working on learning how to eat with a fork and doing pretty good. She loves to get the "perfect" bite. She puts all things on her fork, a pea, carrot and meat and then eats it. Too funny. She loves peas, they are her favorite. She also loves to eat anything off our plates. She is now drinking out of a sippy cup and still has a sippy cup of milk at bed time.

She loves going to the park to swing and to slide. She wants to hold our hand while we walk together and loves giving hugs and kisses. She also got some new nike sneakers and thinks she is hot stuff. She loves shoes.

Mike and I are both working full time. It is hard to balance both work and baby at times. I am working on balance, aren't we all right! We also just celebrated our 3rd anniversary!

My Mom was recognized for her art by being selected to participate in a show in a major gallery in Dallas. It was quite an exciting event and we are very proud of her!

Promise to do more updates soon!
