Sadie Turns One

I can't believe it's almost been a month since her birthday. With family visiting, working and just plain laziness, I have failed to get around to the blogging. So, here is a little bit about our baby.


Nicknames: Sader(s), Baber(s), Sadie-Baby, Sader-Bader

Words: "Dah" - Dog and "uh-oh". That's it!! (Sometimes she says, "mama", but I don't think it is for me.)

Signs: bird, dog, more, all done, milk, eat/food, bye

Making Cake #1


Eating Cake #1 - Think she liked it?


Food Likes: breads, bananas, CHOCOLATE, formula, water, Cheerios, Kix, avocado, cheese, yogurt, ice cream...rocks, leaves and dog food.

Food Dislikes: baby food, apple juice, milk

Teeth: Only 2 on the bottom

Cake #2



Physical: Walking all over - getting fast, climbs on stuff, takes things out of cupboards

As of today*, these are her stats:
Head 45 cm - 42%
Height 28.3 in - 17%
Weight 19 lb 4 oz - 16%

*Her 1 year appointment was originally scheduled last month, but we canceled, thinking we were going to go snowboarding instead.

Health: Lots of earaches and colds these last few months. Seems pretty good otherwise.

Ice Cream is a success


Personality: Super sweet, mellow and quiet (unless it is 6am and she is trying to wake her sister up). Every now and then she comes over for a hug or to be held for a little bit and then she is on her way. She loves to explore and seems to have little if any separation anxiety. I consider this a huge blessing.

Sleeping: On a good night she goes down between 7 and 8pm and wakes up between 5 and 6am. We don't always have good nights. She does take 2 good naps during the day.

Present Opening. Any suggestions on how to help the older kid understand that the toys are NOT for them?


Things she likes to do: swinging, NOT movies, walks, being outside, swimming, looking at animal books, putting things in her mouth, exploring, going to new places

She also has the cutest little laugh, but we are yet to get it on film. We'll keep trying.

Happy # 1 Sadie-Baby! (I love that nickname!)

Based on that information, I think she and Joseph will be very compatible. Does she eat sand too? That is the only remaining question I have. But I guess every couple does have to be EXACTLY alike.

I love hearing about your girls! They are awfully cute and get me SO excited about having a girl in our house too.

Sad to hear the snowboarding trip didn't happen.

she also has the cutest smile! Love those birthday cake pictures.

and cancelling her appt to go snowboarding? Awesome. I totally agree with those priorities. (we still have yet to go to Eli's 1 yr appt too)

So cute! That is great that you document all of her stats/likes, dislikes. That will be so fun to read later on. I can't believe she is one!

Don't forget that she likes to eat feathers too! Her eyes look so beautiful in the b-day cake picture. She really is just a little doll. Happy Birthday Sadie-Bug! (Thats my nickname for her)
