Happy Birthday to My Sweet Sadie Beth!

Wow. That's really all I can say to describe the last year. The Lord has so richly blessed David and I through our amazing little girl. Sadie Beth brings us so much joy that it is impossible to describe. She is such a sweet, mischievious, loving, and rambunctious little girl...not to mention FUN and HILARIOUS. I laugh at her all day long. I love being Sadie Beth's mommy. Each day with her is so special...sure I have my moments where I'm ready to hand her off, but as soon as I do that I miss her! Here are some "Sadie Beth snippets"....

Nicknames:
Bug, Bugaboo, Bugaboo Bear, Sugar-bear, Girl-Bear, stink-bug, sweet potato pie, Sadie Beth bug, stinkerbutt

Sweet/Funny things she does:
- GROWLS...a lot...and we have no idea where she got this.
- Blows raspberries on whatever part of your body she can get to
- Greets her "friends" (stuffed toys) with "hi's" and hugs every morning.
- "Woofs" like a dog and "Meows" like a cat -- Gets excited whenever she thinks about dogs.
- Smells her feet when you ask her how they smell.
- Crawls around gripping her Sesame Street dolls by the neck...EVERYWHERE SHE GOES
- Takes aforementioned dolls the the store and throws them out of the cart near strangers just to get people to pick them up and pay attention to her.
- Greets everyone at the store with "HI!"
- Imitates "smelling" sound and laughs because she thinks she is funny.
- Pretends to throw her cup on the floor while looking at me mischieveously.
- Crawls away from the TV as fast as possible when she sees me coming to get her down from it.
- Does "So Big!" from her Elmo book.
- LOVES her bunny-bear
- Signs "please" with her own made up sign and points when she wants something.
- Folds her hands to pray or when you ask her to.
- Her Calvin face

Words she says:
Dada, Dadeee, mama, Do (dog), Hi!, ahduh (all done...though she stopped this awhile back)
