Someone is 1!!!

Sadie turned 1 on June 3rd! Our sweet little baby girl is getting so big! She started walking about a week before her birthday and is learning how to keep up with Case and attempting to do everything he does.
Her personality has come out a lot more since she's turned one, she loves to be chased (she's seen Case do this so much and can finally participate!), she loves to be tickled, and still loves to snuggle. She is a crazy climber, even more than Case was (which says a lot!). She is very determined and teaches herself a lot of things. She taught herself how to climb down the stairs our second day in the house, she can climb up on the sofa and get down all by herself (as well as the coffee table and any chair in the house)! She loves the praise and attention she gets when she figures something out. She'll climb on the coffee table and look around at everyone in the room and laugh and clap for herself. Case and Sadie are playing together more and more each day which is such a joy to watch! At night they get kind of giddy and love to run around, squeal, fall down, wrestle and just be funny. She is getting more and more dramatic which can make it hard not to laugh at her! Her first word was "tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle" (probably because she hears Case say it all the time), and she now says "Dada" and "uh-oh", and I think she's pretty close to getting Sadie, she says "Daydee". We are definitely in the stage of, is that babble or is that really a word?? But those are the words she seems to use pretty accurately. She can still be very serious, especially with new people - staring them down before she'll give anyone a smile. And despite her new found walking abilities she still LOVES to be held - especially by me!
Sadie, we love you so much - you bring so much joy and laughter into our life!
