We are coming up on Sadie's 9 month birthday, and I cannot believe how she has changed. It feels like just yesterday they placed her in my arms, this small helpless baby. We are celebrating by writing a few of our favorite things about her at this age, and another small list of her favorite things.
Our favorite things:
1. Sadie sleeps unlike anyone I have ever seen. She never ceases to amaze me with the ways she can twist and bend her body and stay asleep.
2. Sadie looks up at us with this super cheesy smile when we haven't looked at each other in a while. I love how happy she is to see me.
3. The way her little bum wiggles when she crawls around.
4. Her curiosity and willingness to discover and explore the world around her.
5. The way she bounces on her bum when she gets really excited.
Her favorite things:
1. Popsicles-Lucky for her mommy, Sadie has inherited her love for popsicles.
2. Putting things close to her face-Sadie puts everything on her face, then rubs it up over her head. It is hilarious to watch.
3. The weekly ads-Sadie can play for hours with just the ads that come every week. She loves banging them together and crinkling them.
4. Crawling-Sadie learned to crawl about 2 weeks ago, and has been on the go ever since. She rarely sits still anymore.
5. Snuggling-Again, much to her mother's delight, Sadie has recently enjoyed snuggling with me before naptime everyday. It's probably because she is teething, but I love it anyway.
This list, added with her lists past makes for one happy, healthy baby girl who her parents love and adore. She brings amazing happiness into our lives, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Until next time.
