The big ONE

Well, it happened, our baby turned one! August 25, 2008. It was such a fun day for everyone. I had a hard time picking just a few pictures for our blog, so you all get a whole bunch. I figured this way you could all feel like you were there with us. Chase woke up before Sadi and could not wait for her to get up so he could play with her new toy. Here is the first photo of her on her Birthday...check out the morning do!

We bought her this super cute little house...I highly recommend it to anyone with a toddler. It is called the fisher price learning home. It is so cool, we all had fun playing with it, even Kelsey although I'm sure she will deny it. It is two sided (one side like indoors and one like the outdoors). It teaches letters, numbers, time, opposites, colors. It has so many gadgets and all the doors and everything work on it even the light switch. Even Matt was impressed with all it does.This is my favorite picture of her playing. She loved to peek through the doorway. Chase has also been entertained with this non-stop since the moment he saw it.Sadi also received a special phone call from Princess Ariel wishing her a Happy Birthday. It was so cute!!Here's the kids ready to party!!Including the princess in her gown, complete with crown of course.After dinner it was time to open presents, she was so cute and intent on observing every detail. She studied every card and piece of paper. Matt had secretly bought her something special, her very own wishing star to wish on whenever she wants. It is in the Cassiopeia constellation, named after her. What a great Dad!We bought her this adorable purse that comes with fake money, a mirror, lipstick rattle, car keys and of course what every girl needs a bracelet. She is always putting things on her wrist so I knew this would be a sure winner. Yup, the bracelet was the first thing to emerge and she put it right on and continued like it was just natural. She has been wearing it ever since.After presents was cake time!! I had made a large number 1 cake for everyone, and then an individual cake for her to dig into. This is how it went........Happy Birthday to you.....try not to let baby burn her fingers......She wasn't quite sure what to do, she kept opening her mouth waiting for someone to feed it to her, then the first touch......The first taste.......Then........face plant......inhale!!!!!She shoveled it in and literally inhaled it, she had it so far up her nose, it was hilarious!!! Eventually she slowed a little, then a little more and finally....I'm full, with the most devilish grin...We ended the night with a bath....

and sweet kisses goodnight....We love you princess Sadi!
