Sadie's 1st trip to the beach...

I am so behind in updating our blog, but this is our trip to New Smyrna Beach during my spring break. Sadie had so much fun playing in the sand and swimming in the pool!

Four Months

Sadie Grace is now 4 months old, already!! She had her 4 month check up this past week, but unfortunately we had other reasons to go as well. She has just been so under the weather the past few weeks....just real congested and having a hard time breathing. Her school called me last Tuesday and said she's just real fussy and wasn't eating. They said she is always babbling and smiling with them and just something seemed wrong on that day. My mom went and picked her up and brought her home. That afternoon, she and I took her to her doctor. After checking her ear, testing her for RSV and then taking blood work and urine sample, her doctor found that she had a touch of pneumonia. Her fever went up to 103 that night so her doctor wanted to go ahead and see her again the next day...the same day as her scheduled 4 month check up. She went ahead and gave her another shot of antibiotic and then went over all the 4 month info. I'll take her back after Christmas to get all of her 4 month shots. Long story short, she is doing much better now...still a little congested and a cough, but is becoming more of our happy, always smiling Sadie Grace! She weighed 17.2 lbs at her check-up, quickly growing out of all of her clothes! She is changing everyday, always doing something new. Just last night, she rolled over for the first time. She did it twice and by the time I got the camera ready, she just laid there looking at Will and I like we were crazy. She's very curious about all the gifts under the Christmas tree. She's already trying to peek into hers. :) I am beginning to better understand when people say that they grow up to fast and to enjoy each and every minute with them!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving this year we had lunch at Maw-Maw and Paw-Paw's on Thanksgiving Day. That side of the family continues to grow! This year we had everyone there...I think I've counted right, but a total of 34 now! Rylee was excited to see Sadie Grace, because Nana bought them matching outfits. They were so cute. The Friday after, we all headed out to Fran and Landon's for a Thanksgiving dinner. I think Sadie Grace's favorite part of the evening was sleeping in Fran's bed. Before her nap she and Emme got some cute pictures together. We, like always, enjoyed both dinners and ate way too much! Happy Thanksgiving!

First Day of School

Monday, November 17 Sadie Grace and I started into the real world. Sadie Grace went for her first day of daycare at Hermitage Hills Baptist. It was so emotional for me, but she was very happy when I left her with her teacher Ms. Velma. I couldn't stop crying enough to tell Ms. Velma that her GloWorm is in her bag and that she enjoys playing with that. :) She is going to go to school everyday but Wednesdays and Fridays. On these days her Nana and Bebe are going to keep her. This week was a little rough though. She wasn't feeling very well so after Nana had her on Wednesday she decided she'd come over and keep her on Thursday as well. She took Sadie Grace to the doctor and found that she had an ear infection. :( Since Bebe was coming anyway the next day she go to stay home and relax another day. We're off this week for Thanksgiving so she can have plenty of time to get well.

I'm excited for Sadie and her new school. I know she is in good hands. Her cousin, Rylee, who also goes there, has checked in on her a few times already. I also have a friend of mine that teaches in the room right next to hers. Sadie Grace is happy and that is all that matters!!

Three Months

Sadie Grace turned 3 Months, Saturday the 9th. Things are just happening way too fast! Monday, the 17th, will be my first day back to work and Sadie Grace's first day of daycare. :( She will be going only three days a week thanks to mine and Will's moms.
On a brighter note, Sadie Grace never seizes to amaze us with all the new things she does. Just today she and I were playing on the floor and she just started laughing so hard. I thought she was getting fussy, but she was grinning from ear to ear. Each day I feel like she learns new things. She is very observant and watches so much. She loves attention...though she rarely gets much. :) Here are just a few new pictures from the past month...

Hanging out at home...

It's been so entertaining for Will and I to watch Sadie Grace growing and learning new things. We try to change things up a little so she doesn't become so bored with her toys. One of her favorite things to do right now is to watch t.v.! It's so funny! These are just some pictures of Sadie Grace hanging out at home.
