Baby's Babies

I'm a little upset that I wasn't here to see this. But right after I left for work, Sadie brought her doll and stuffies to the kitchen, layed them in a line like this and told my mom "shhhh" because they were sleeping. Made me smile when I heard about it and glad my mom was quick to grab the camera.

Giving kisses to her little ballerina.

we have visitors

We had my Auntie Del, Perry, Nico, Gabby and my Grandma visit us for 5 days. Banff, Edmonton, Canada Day and more. Fun times with the familia.

WALK DOWN STEPHEN AVE. DOWNTOWN

Glad that we could have them stay with us. Sadie had so much fun playing with Tito Nico. I'm sure she loved having someone close to her age play the same things as her. Can't wait to see them when we visit Winnipeg.

WE'RE BACK :)

One thing I am looking forward to is Sadie turning 3, just so I can put her into dance lessons <3

my tiny little dancer

So i've noticed that Sadie is really into music and dancing. In the beginning of every show there's music that plays (the shows theme song). Sadie will be playing with her toys or will be in another room, but she hears music playing, she will seriously drop whatever she is doing, run into the living room towards the t.v and start dancing. She bounces up and down, shakes her bum side to side, moves her head and hands, pivots in a circle and sometimes rocks her whole upper body up and down (as if she was rocking out).

This makes me super happy and super excited because when she is 3 or when I know she is potty trained well enough, I am putting her in dance classes haha. I'm sure some of you guys are saying, "oh man Juvy..." haha but yes, she will be in dance.

I regret quitting dance. I wish I was still dancing, I miss it so much. I should have listened to my grandpa when he told me when I was young... "Juvy, don't quit dancing or you will regret it." He was right. So I guess i'll be living my dreams through Sadie -- NOT! I will definitely not be those parents who lives their dreams through their children. I'll put Sadie in dance, and if she doesn't like it, then she is more than willing to stop... but I'm not saying I wouldn't try to talk her out of quitting. :)

UPDATES

I've been really busy these days and I honestly don't know where the time goes. I still can't believe it's a new year and i'm not gonna lie, I think i'm already slacking with my new years resolutions list. OH MAN! BUT, i'm trying and I remind myself everyday. Ok, not everyday, but MOST days...

Seeing as how church starts at 1, I figured I have time to update my blog.

Sadie is growing up way to fast! She is getting smarter and smarter each and everyday and I am a little upset at the fact that I am barely home anymore. Work is starting to take over and also I now have a social life here in Calgary! But everytime I come home (when she is awake), she will always greet me with THE BIGGEST AND CUTEST smile ever, run up to me and put her arms out so she can give me a big hug (and so she can get carried). And on the good days, a kiss as well. Sometimes waking up in the morning, i'll still be asleep, so she'll come up to me and wake me up with a kiss. It seriously makes my heart melt when she does this.
Sadie absolutely LOVES fruit! Her favorites right now are mandarine oranges, bananas and apples. And she won't eat the apple cut up. She needs to hold the apple and just munch on it like any other older person would eat their apple. It's so adorable seeing her tiny hands hold this big apple with little chunks missing from it. And she will literally eat at least almost all of it too.
She has finally figured out the buttons on the dvd player. Not only that, she knows which button opens the dvd player and she also knows how to stick her finger in the middle of the cd and take it out of the dvd. So funny -- she has also learned how to shake her head 'no' because EVERYTIME she goes up to the dvd player I know what she is going to do so I shake my head at her and say "nooooo Sadie". So now, she will go up to the dvd player... make sure i'm looking at her, shake her head 'no' herself, smile the biggest smile and press the open button and take out the disc.
I'm glad that we have a few kids over to play sometimes because she is starting to get very bossy and very territorial with her toys and belongings. And it's not like she'll do it in a mean way, but she will take the toy that she sees another baby holding and smile and walk away. She is such a bully sometimes, but she is starting to learn how to share and actually PLAY with these kids.

I, on the other hand, am really loving how this new year is going so far. I've met a ton of great people and some who I can call friends. Work is starting to take over my life, which is good and also a sad thing because I barely see Sadie now. It's hard, but I never knew how much I missed working. People here are great and I'm always meeting someone new almost all the time. I've gone on a couple more dates with other people and i'm starting to get the hang of this 'dating' scene. I have never been happier and it's actually been a while since i've honestly felt happy.

We miss all our close friends and family, but we're thankful to those who keep in touch!! I know i've been slacking off in pictures and updates, but I have a feeling it will be like this for the next month or so. I appreciate all the messages everyone sends me and the love and support everyone's showed us!!!

Miss and Love!!!

TinkerBell!

Ok, so I love Disney movies... but I feel like some of the new Disney movies just aren't the same. I love the classics -- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast... and so on and so on. The songs are so easy and fun to sing along to.

One of my NEW favorite Disney movie is TinkerBell and the Lost Treasure. It's not only mine but it's also Sadie's too!! This is actually one of the movies she will really pay attention to and what's even better is that she will actually cuddle with me too. The music is so good and the story as well. And I love how there is one part in the movie that Sadie will, without a doubt, laugh at! It's so cute!!!

I was also thinking... I'm trying to get Sadie into the Princess phase. It may be too early cause she isn't really into anything unless it's electronics or cords, but she got alot of 'princess' things (all thanks to her Grandma B, Dadda & fam), but I think I also want her to get into TinkerBell... I think I have her costume for Halloween this year picked out haha

Got Milk ?
