We're here at 11 months, way too fast like I knew it would happen. Sadie girl is such a little sweetheart and I just can't believe she's almost one. She's so much fun, and I love watching her grow and learn new things, but of course, it's so bittersweet. I'm in full party planning mode over here and while I hate that she'll be one, I'm excited to celebrate her with a sweet pink lemonade first birthday party!
We didn't do much better on weekly pictures this month. We only took this one on Easter Sunday, but it sure is cute. 💕

| 45 Weeks |
- Sadie can still fit into a few 6-12 month things, but she's mostly wearing 12 month or 12-18 month clothes. We've even gotten out some 18 month PJs! I feel like she's growing like crazy! She's still wearing a size 3 diaper.
- Sadie *still* has no teeth! I can't believe it! We were kind of holding off on giving her much table food since she didn't have any teeth, but we've pretty much moved on from that and are giving her tiny bites of pretty much whatever we're eating now. I just didn't want her to be way behind on her eating and still be eating only purees until she has teeth because who knows how long that will be! 😂She's been doing great and loves turkey, cheese, cottage cheese, spaghetti, yogurt, rice, strawberries, grapes, blueberries, applesauce, kiwi, puffs, and yogurt melts. She'll eat {some} green beans, peas, corn, asparagus, zucchini etc..., but she doesn't really pick those up on her own like she will the other things. Strawberries seem to be her favorite and she will open her mouth *SO* big for them. It's hilarious! We are still doing some veggie purees because she will eat them way better in puree form!
- She is still taking a bottle four times a day and usually drinks the full 8 ounces, although she's started leaving a few ounces a little more often the last week or so. I give her a sippy cup with water at her meals and she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. It seems like she wants it, but usually she just ends up putting it in her mouth and blowing raspberries so water goes everywhere. 😂💦
- Sadie is still sleeping great! Typically, she goes down for both naps without a single fuss and will sleep 1.5-2 hours. She goes to bed around 7:00-7:30 and will go right to sleep. Her wake up time is still pretty inconsistent. She'll wake up anywhere between 6:30-8:15, but it's more often that she's awake by 7:00-7:15. She gets so excited when we go in her room in the mornings. She'll smile so big, crinkle her nose, and almost close her eyes. It's so cute and sweet! Emery absolutely loves it when I let her go up to Sadie's room first. Sadie will be standing up in her crib and Emery will make the elephant ball popper play music while she does a silly dance in front of Sadie. They both love it and it's precious. Emery also loves loading Sadie's crib with *all* of her loveys.
- She's still jabbering a lot! Lots of mama, dada, lala, and nana! She also says a lot of "mama" when she's in her high chair and we've wondered if it means "more". She's added "hi" {sometimes "hi-eee" and other times "haaa"} this month and it's so cute because she usually waves when she says it. She waves with her whole arm {sometimes both!}! She almost always says "hi" and waves when Daniel gets home from work. Talk about precious!
- The nickname "Hurricane Sadie" has completely stuck and she really lives up to it. Her favorite thing is unloading every single toy out of the cabinet in our living room and spreading them out everywhere. We often have her "coralled" in the living room with our ottoman blocking her off, but when we let her crawl around the rest of the house, she unloads everything she can get her hands on. But, she's so darn cute, we don't mind that much. 😉
- Sadie has become such a paci girl! She's usually fine without it unless she's tired, but if she sees one, she goes after it. She has three Wubbanubs {Owlette, Mousey, and Hallie} and if they're all in the living room where she's playing, she keeps switching them. Sometimes she'll have one in her mouth and one in her hand, then she'll notice the one in her hand and put it in her mouth. She'll do it over and over. So funny!
- She's become quite the little copycat. Her favorite person to imitate is Emery, of course. Emery does a silly laugh that Sadie can copy almost exactly. I've also done a fish face at her and she tries to do it back! It is *so* cute! She clicks her tongue a lot still, too.
- She absolutely *loves* swinging! She gets excited when we go outside and I think she would sit in her swing perfectly content for a couple of hours. I also got in the trampoline with her last week and she liked sitting and bouncing in my lap. Emery also asked to hold her while I bounced them and they both loved that. 💕
- Sadie loves playing peekaboo and the "Peekaboo Song" on Super Simple Learning. I use it all the time to get her to be still while I'm changing her diaper or getting her dressed. It also makes her instantly happy if she's starting to get fussy.
- She loves to play with Emery's hairbrush, so much so that we got her a hairbrush of her own for her Easter basket! She actually was needing one--the little hospital comb and brush wasn't really working well for her anymore since she has so much hair {with the cutest little curls}. The hairbrush has been our go-to lately to give her while we do diaper changes since she *has* to have something to play with!
- If you have glasses on, watch out! She will yank them off so fast! She is always trying to take Poppa's glasses off, and if I have my sunglasses on when I get her out of her car seat, she is locked in on them until I get her out and she instantly tries to grab them! 😂
- If we want her to play with something, all we have to do is start putting it away. She'll come right over and immediately start getting out whatever we just put away.
- One of the sweetest things she's started doing is giving hugs and kisses. She doesn't always do it, but sometimes when we ask for a hug she'll lay her head on our shoulder. If we ask her to give us a kiss, she'll pretty much just lick our cheek, but it's pretty sweet, too.
