12 months= 1 Year!

Ok, well we have now officially counted the first 12 months of Sawyer's precious life!  This is what she is doing at 12 months:

  • Eats table food for every meal, no more baby food!  Thank goodness that didn't last long....so gross!
  • Can say Mamamamamama, Dadadada, Sawyer Rhea Roden (Spencer and I understand her when we ask her her name), Bella, No, I am sure there are a few others.....
  • Clap her hands to; "If you're happy and you know it!"
  • Play pat-a-cake!  She loves the roll'm up, roll'm up part (she knows the hand motions)
  • Drink whole milk, we are/have transitioned her from formula!
  • Stand alone for a few seconds and take a couple of steps, but then she realizes what she is doing and plops down
  • Climb the stairs
  • Hold up one finger when we ask her age!
  • Wears a size 4 diaper
  • 12-18 months clothes
  • Size 3 shoe
  • Wears bows in her hair
  • Give sweet kisses!
  • Has two bottom teeth
  • And....knows how to GET HER WAY!!!!

Jennifer Branham Photography has done a great job capturing Sawyer's milestones!  Thank you, Jennifer!

Happy 1st Birthday, Sawyer!

My goodness!  We cannot believe our little Doodlebug is now one year old!  The year has flown by!  I plan on reminiscing about this past year in another post, but for now I am just going to share her birthday with you.  We woke up and sent the breakfast at The Ranch House, then spent the rest of the morning running a few errands for her birthday party.  She then decided she needed a nap, so we came home and she took a three hour nap.  Needless to say, I was able to get a few more things done for her birthday party.  After she woke, we ran a few more errands, and then met Granddaddy, V, Aunt KT, Lauren, Russell, and Taylor at La Fiesta for a birthday celebration.  Spencer and I love La Fiesta and eat there on a regular basis.  They watched me grow during my pregnancy as well as watching Sawyer grow her entire first year of life.  They have a birthday wall, where they take pictures and post them.  So....this year the waiters sang to Sawyer and she got to wear a little baby sombrero!  So cute!  She had a great day and now we are looking forward to her big birthday bash this weekend!  Pictures will follow!

Happy First Birthday, Sawyer!  Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

I am a huge animal lover, and I can already tell Sawyer is too!  I am very interested to see how many animals she is going to bring home to save in the future :)
