March

We had a busy month of March. My parents came to visit, which was a big help to Mike and me. While they were here I was able spend a lot of time at the office and Mike spent a lot of time at the hospital. We got tons of work done! Since they left we are not nearly as productive. I guess a week of grandparents' spoiling will do that. They taught Sadie many new things during their visit: to clap her hands, to crawl faster, how to pull herself up to standing, and how to demand constant attention!

My birthday happened to be during their trip (although I'd like to think I was the reason for the visit, we all know that isn't true). I don't remember the last time I was so spoiled on my birthday. We should make it a tradition!

Sadie helped me open my gifts.

We went to the Old Salem Tavern for dinner. (Mike was there too, he is taking the picture.)

Mike's team won the basketball tournament. They were so proud, and so were we. Way to go boys!

This is Sadie and her friend Lou. She loves dogs. Especially when they give her kisses on the face!

What have we been up to lately (besides working)?

I love holding baby Ty while he sleeps. This is my new favorite past time. Especially since Sadie doesn't let me hold her while she falls asleep anymore. (She still lets Mike though!!!)

Mike and Sadie have so much fun together. Aren't they so cute?

Stacey had a layover in Charlotte recently. We had a great time shopping and found some awesome deals. Sadie wore her "If you think I'm cute you should see my Aunt" shirt for the occassion. If Aunt Alisa is jealous (since she gave Sadie this shirt) she should come visit!

Sadie is discovering her backyard. We love the warm days when we can be outside.

The funny thing is that this was our backyard just 5 days earlier. Got to love NC weather!

March - the month of FIRSTS for Sadie

First time in the restaurant high chair.

First day scooting around. 

First snowman.

First papercut & bandaid.

First time wearing a clip in her hair.

So, the Cardinals didn't win...

...but we had a good time watching them try!

We went to the Bonks' to watch the Superbowl. Mike brought streamers and balloons to decorate their house. He even wore his homemade "Arizona Cardinals #1" shirt (since you can't really find official Cardinals merchandise here in NC) and made Sadie and I wear our red too.  I even surprised myself by paying attention and even cheering during the final quarter.  Despite his efforts... Oh well, it was fun!

Picture me rollin'

Sadie rolled over today. We decided to we had to document it with a video. Sadie even requested some great music to go along with the theme of "rolling."

Remembering Christmas

Sadie's favorite part of Christmas was the wrapping.

Fun with cousins.

Sadie thought this little pony was great.
