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!

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!

A little blurry, but birthday breakfast at The Ranch House! She and I shared a yummy biscuit and gravy!

The picture that goes on the wall at La Fiesta! We have our own copy and it is on the refrigerator at home!

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

Ducklings!

Here are some pictures of the ducklings that Sawyer and I check on when we go to the duck pond.

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 :)

Busy are we...

Sawyer and I are truly enjoying our summer. We usually go for a walk around the duck pond each morning, then either swim in our little pool or go to a friends house. We have also been to the splash pad at the zoo. We enjoy getting out and about, and especially eating Zoe's for lunch! We also keep cool, by playing inside! Check out our pics!

Preparing for our walk at the duck pond.

Happy 11 Months!

Hard to believe but Sawyer is almost one year old! Time has absolutely flown by. Spencer and I are having the time of our lives and love every minute we get to spend with her watching her grow and learn new things. On the day she turned 11 months I was trying to take her picture....

and as you can see she can't sit still! She is everywhere. So I put her down in the floor and let her play with the sales ad for a minute. So thankful I had my camera out, because I caught on camera for the first time her standing up on her own! All by herself!! Such a big girl!!
