Sadie's 9 months today!!

WOW my little baby is now 9 months old as of today! I can't believe in 3 short months we will be celebrating Sadie's first birthday!! We went to celebrate my niece Raven's 16th birthday out at her house with a bonfire. What a blast!! Sadie had a good time her first day of being 9 months old, she spent the evening with several teenagers holding & playing with her. She is such a social little bug, never meets a stranger, she can be clingy to mom, but for the most part she'll let just about anyone hold her. Here are a few pics from the bonfire.....

I'm an Aunt again!!

My step sister Chelsea & her husband Ross welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Cambree Alise, into our lives on January 19, 2009 at 6:01p weighing in at 4lbs 2oz. Cambree was not due to arrive until March 14th, but as you can see it just didn't happen that way! Mom & baby are doing great, Cambree is breathing on her own but is in the NICU until she is ready to go home. Chelsea is an amazing Mom, what a trooper....the night she had the baby I asked her how she was (after having an emergency C-section) and her answer to me was, "If she's ok, I'm ok" never once complaining about any of the situation. They are just happy their precious little girl is doing well. My sister Brandy & I went today to see Chelsea & meet our newest niece, we were shocked to se Chelsea walk into the waiting room she looked FANTASTIC, she had a glow about her just like any new mother. Brandy went in to meet Cambree first since she lives further away & I had gotten to visit Chels the night they had her, I knew my sister was anxious so in she went to scrub up. After what seemed like an eternity the doors to the NICU opened & it was my turn to go in (they only allow 2 at a time). After scrubbing up Chelsea led me over to where her sweet little angel was resting under the lights....I was amazed looking at her just so perfect.

I could have starred at her forever she is so pretty!! Anyway just wanted to share my first of many visits with Miss Cambree. Thank you Chelsea for sharing your little one with me today, she is just perfect, Congrats to you all again!!

A happy baby already

Flashback Friday, August 28, 2004

So I stole this idea from my good friend Vanessa, I like the idea of looking back at our lives to see how far we've come:

I'm going to do this first post on our wedding day August 28, 2004. After just 3 weeks of planning we had a great wedding day!! We got married at 11:00am because I could not go ALL day know I was about to become a wife, I wanted to step into my new role as Mrs. Brown ASAP!! After being great friends for a year, we had dated for 3 fun filled years before getting married. From the time we were friends & would have conversations about the future I would think, "I would love to marry this guy, what a sweetheart!!" I never in a million years thought he would want to date me.......So when we began dating I was thrilled, he was everything I was looking for: kind, funny, loyal like no one I've ever met (and did I mention smokin' HOT!!) LOL just had to throw that in there! Things have only gotten better with time...I fall more & more in love with him all the time! Anyway here are a few pics from our big day:

Mom helping me get ready
Vanessa & I before the ceremony:
Vanessa,
Thank you my dear sweet friend for all you did for us, you were so supportive from the time you found out we were getting married & were there by my side for it all! You are more than just my friend, you are another sister! I love you so much!! My dad & I about to go Mr. & Mrs. Brown
Yay we are married!!!
On the way to the reception

Crawling and standing??

Oh Sweet Sadie Baby!


We thought Sadie was going to bypass the whole crawling stage. She loves standing up and knows the whole walking process one foot in front of the other and even pulls up on stuff ALL the time! But, she finally did it, SHE CRAWLED!!! The first time was yesterday 1-21-09 (my nephew Mason's 12th birthday, Happy b-day!!) while I was at the dr. office. Jim-Britt sent me a text as soon as she did it, I couldn't believe it I was sooooo excited for our big girl. She's officially mobile now LOL. I've tried to capture it on video but you know kids, they never do what you want them to when you want them to!! So maybe I'll be able to post a video later of it, but here are a few pics of her standing up on her train!!

So we have gotten through our first holidays with our sweet Sadie. Now 8 months old & so active. She now says Momma, Dada (sometimes) and on New years Eve she said something I know none will believe, she said "Jesus"!! Yes Jesus, I know had I not been there & heard it myself I would have said no way!! One of the other ladies in our church was in the nursery with us & she was holding Sadie saying different things to her & Sherry kept saying Jesus....and after a few times Sadie said "Jesus", I just looked at Sherry & she said, "She said Jesus!!" I was shocked, I thought I was hearing things, and I just said "I know I can't believe that!" She's also in the process of learning to crawl, currently she goes backwards & she can scoot around on her bottom. We have to be very careful where we set her now because she is a little mover. Christmas was great she got lots of toys & clothes from family, Daddy & I got her a few toys & a bag of paper.....she LOOOOVED it! I think next year we'll shoot for a box LOL!!! Anyway that's what's going on so far more to post later!!

Thanksgiving week

This week I am off for the holiday & it's really got me thinking.....I have a lot of things to be thankful for. First my family, and not just my husband and daughter....I mean my WHOLE family, from my parents that have always been so awesome & supportive, my siblings that have been there through think & thin no matter what, and my in-laws that have just accepted me as a part of their family and treat me as if I have always been there...LOVE YOU GUYS!! Anyway I just wanted to tell our family & friends we are SO thankful for you & appreciate the time we get to spend with you.I'm thankful for the job I have (since I have to work) yes the drive stinks but at least it pays the bills huh? LOL! We have truly been blessed in our lives, and our biggest blessing of all was our sweet little angel Sadie Mae. Whenever everything is going wrong in the world, she is the one thing on this earth that can make my heart sing & put a smile on my face when I see her. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families & to our family if we don't see you that day please know we are thinking of you & hope you have a fantastic day!!

Much Love & God Bless~

The Brown's

My sweet six month old

Tonight I am sitting here after putting Sadie to bed & I can't help but think about how fast time is going by. She is such an amazing little person and is just growing up before my eyes. I look back at all the pictures of her over the last 6 months & I am is shock over how fast it has gone by. I know with the upcoming holidays it will go even faster & we will be celebrating her 1st birthday!!! I just love each & every day with her & seeing the new things she has learned. She has such a loving smile & is very VERY social!!

I would also I love to take a moment to thank my husband for being such an amazing man! He has been so terrific with me working further away by making things a little easier for me when I am home. The only thing I have to do is spend time with our family. He is also such a WONDERFUL daddy to Sadie. Not many dad's get to have the time he is getting to have with her & I think it makes a HUGE difference. He is able to give her more than just what is left over after a day at work & after being a husband. They have such a unique relationship already & I am so thrilled about that. She & I have an awesome bond & now she & her dady have one too since he is able to stay with her.

That's all that's on my mind tonight, about to go lay down with the baby!
