FInally a New Post & a Buch of Catching Up to Do!

I know it has been 5 or so months since I have posted but we have been super busy!! Some of my friends have commented on how they have forgotten what Sadie looks like (sorry!). A lot has happened since our last post. Our last post Sadie was just learning to walk well now she is running around like a wild woman. We had our first Easter, a BIG Birthday Party, and we have moved into a new house. It has been a cirucus around here the last few months and it is finally starting to calm down. Sadie's first birthday party was a blast we grilled out with so many wonderful family and friends. We moved across the bay into Spanish Fort and we love it. I took Sadie to the doctor last week for her 15 month check-up and everything looked great. She weighs 22 lbs 5 oz and is 33 inches long. The doctor told me to get ready for the next year and a half because he can tell she is a handful! Here are a ton of pictures that I have been meaning to post!

Walking, Walking, and More Walking!!

I haven't had time to post any new pictures of Sadie, but I just wanted to let everyone know that Sadie is walking. It started about 3 weeks ago. She started standing a lot and before we knew it she would take a few steps at a time before falling. Well now she is wide open. All she is doing is walking all over the place and she is into everything. There is not a dull moment in the Fleniken household.

9 months and counting!!!

Well I am not really wanting to count because I can not stand the fact that Sadie is getting bigger. Luke keeps telling me change is good but I am having a really hard time accepting that she is getting so big. We are crawling now, getting into everything, and we also have 2 new teeth(which makes a total of 4). She is growing way to quick and I want it to slow down, but I am thankful for her growing and the Lord blessing us in so many ways. We went for her nine month check up today and the Doctor said she is growing perfectly. Here are a few pictures of her posing for the camera.

Santa Claus Came to Town!!

Christmas was a very special time for us. Not only was it Sadie's first Christmas, but we were able to visit my parents in North Alabama and then off to see Luke's family in South Carolina. We had a great time being surrounded by our family and friends during this special time of year.

Sadie wanted to drive us!

Sadie was able to meet her great grandfather, Pops, during the holidays. When we visited in May he was in the hospital so he wasn't able to see her. She loved him.

Sarah and I thought it would be cute to let the kids take a bath together. Well it didn't go as planned. They were all over the place.

A Christmas Photo Shoot!

Yes, it is already time for us to take Christmas pictures. I don't know where the last seven and a half months have went. We had a great time getting Sadie's pictures made. For those of you who know her know, that there are two things that she loves: 1. to be right next to you and 2. for someone to always be paying her attention. So, I knew getting her pictures made was going to be a breeze. I was exactly right. She laughed and smiled the WHOLE time. She was lovin every minute of her photo session. Here are a few of the hundreds of pictures taken last week.

Our Little Pumpkin!!

Sadie is almost seven months old. We took her to the doctor last week for her six month check-up and she is weighing 17 pounds and she is 27 inches long. She is getting to be such a big girl. He said she was looking great.

Last week we decided to take advantage of this beautiful weather and take some pictures of her with a few pumkins. She loved being outside and she especially loved eating the leaves and the pumpkins. We were able to get a few good pictures of her.
