Look what I can do!

Sadie has been sitting up for a while now, so it's been nice to be able to set her down with some toys and play. Most of the time she just eats the toys and I play with them. I didn't even realize she was paying attention to me until this...here is my little genius (hee hee) figuring out how to put the ball into the opening of this toy. She was so proud of herself and Brian and I were there to say "yeah" in that high-pitched squeally kind of way (okay, maybe it was just me that was so high pitched) and clap our hands. Sadie is just doing too many things too quickly.

"Is this where I put it, Momma?"
Sadie has also learned to stand while holding on to something. She L-O-V-E-S doing this. She feels like such a big girl. I opened the blinds in our office and let her peek through the window.


"Aww, she got hurt," you say? Nope. Just fell down and was so mad that she wasn't standing anymore. So...up she went and was a happy camper again!


Mersadie can also roll her tongue - don't know where this came from, probably her dad.
Okay, so she's not doing anything spectacular in this picture, but I love it because it's my Sadie Bug the little Lady Bug! 9 Months Old Today!!!

Time to move the cleaning supplies!

This post is for you, Sis. No more pictures of Brian and Shannon at Regis and Kelly. I know this blog is titled "Along Came Sadie", so here are pictures of your little Sade-ster!

I sat Mersadie down in the kitchen the other day so I could do something really quickly. She hasn't ever been interested in the cabinets...until now. She finally figured out how to open the cabinets. We really need to child-proof soon and I need to move my cleaning supplies because, of course the cabinets she loves to open are the ones with all of the things that can hurt her. Here are some pictures I snapped while she was still intrigued by just opening and closing the cabinets and not caring what was inside.

This is definitely the look of "what? Am I not supposed to do this?"

Hmmm, what's in here?

Yep, you got caught!

" Okay, Mom, I will close it and find something else to do." - Yeah right!

I told Brian the other day that Sadie can do whatever she wants to do as she grows up (play sports or do the cheerleading/gymnastic thing) but I really want her to stay "girlie". Well, this picture says it all, I think. Here is Sadie with one of her very favorite toys and she is all dressed up!! Time will only tell if it stays that way!

Live with Regis & Kelly

This is me with our tickets!

Brian and I in the show
Do you think they were really that happy to see us? Nope. This was their 2nd taping in a row that day and the last one for the week. They were happy that they were almost done with us!
Jimmy Kimmel

Josh Kelly - married to Kathryn Heigel
This doesn't really go with the show except that on the way home we were sitting at a stop light and I really thought this view was interesting because I saw the palm trees on an 80 degree day with snow-capped mountains in the background. We live in one of the best places!

So, Brian and I got to go to a taping of "Live" with Regis and Kelly. I watch it quite a bit and saw that they were coming to L.A., so I thought it might be fun. We went yesterday afternoon for the taping of Friday's show - so I guess it's not quite as Live as we thought. We had to sit way in the back, of course, because of the traffic on the 5 freeway, and we couldn't use the flash on our cameras while the cameras were rolling, so here are the pictures that I got. Regis and Kelly hung out with the audience a little bit during the breaks, but never made it far enough for us to get to really "see" them. It was an experience and a bit more staged than I imagined it would be. I told Brian that being there made me realize that we are all just people. That's it. People. Josh Kelly and Jimmy Kimmel were guests. Courtney Cox was supposed to be there, but they taped her interview before and she wasn't there live. Anyway, maybe you'll see Brian and I in the top right corner of the audience when they pan the crowd (ha ha) - again, we're all just people, so does it really matter if we get seen on t.v.? Nope.

I promise to have pictures of the little Sade-ster soon!

What a Week!

I didn't realize so much could happen in one week. If I would have blinked my eyes, I would have missed Sadie learning how to wave bye-bye, clap her hands, and put the ball in the right place in her toy. I would have also missed 2 new teeth that came in. All of this happened since my last post on Thursday! Everyone said that things would happen fast, but good grief! I need to make sure to get the baby book out and record it all! Here are pictures of Sadie clapping (she looks pretty proud of herself in the last one or maybe more like she's conducting a choir). The first one is of her new teeth on the bottom - if you look really close, you can see them on either side of the middle teeth.

Won't You Be My Valentine?

Here are a couple of shots from Sadie's Valentine's "photo shoot". A lady from church, Cindy, got Mersadie the cute heart outfit! Thanks Miss Cindy!! Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day - we're sending love your way!

8 Months Old and Life Couldn't be Better!

I took Sadie to the park on Friday for the first time to see if she would like to swing, and boy did she ever. She had a blast. Bet you couldn't tell from the first picture! Don't have much time to write a lot....but can you believe it's been 8 months? Ahhhh!

"This Little Piggy" - Photoshop Fun

I was talking to my mom today on the phone while I was eating lunch and sitting at the computer. (Don't know why I added all the detail, but I just realized how much of a multi-tasker I really am. I still can't talk and write at the same time, though.) Nothing like chasing rabbits. I must be all hyped from my workout this morning - 1st one in 2 months!!

Anyway, my mom was telling me about a picture of Sadie's toes that I emailed her. She told me that her friend at work, Paula, said I should do a scrapbook page that says "Tickle Me Pink" using the picture - GREAT, CUTE idea I thought. Well, I haven't given myself much time for scrapbooking lately and I was sitting at the computer, so I thought "why not play in photoshop"? So, here is what I made. Playtime is over now because I have SOOO many things to get done today. I'll start with finishing my now cold mac -n-cheese. Yes, I do know that my workout is now neggated. But, my mac-n-cheese is oh, so yummy!
