Still Alive

I just really haven't felt like blogging lately....maybe it's the pressure for a good blog post that comes with a wedding anniversary (5 years for us on August 12th)....but I just have not felt like blogging lately. So I haven't. People are getting antsy for some more Sadie updates so I'll oblige.

Here's what Sadie's been up to lately:

1. Still walking like a madwoman. In some of the pictures you can see the cut and huge bruises on her forehead (happened on separate occasions). You may also notice she is wearing her dress backwards. Daniel gets her dressed in the morning while I am at work.

2. Playing in the pantry.

3. Closing the pantry. She thinks she is such a big girl when she opens and closes doors.

4. Playing the music on her teapot. Here she is pressing the button to make it play. Just to give you an idea of how often we hear this song, Sadie received this teapot as a present on August 7th and the batteries ran out August 18th. The song goes like this {sung with a British accent} "One pretty teapot ready for some tea. Two little cups- one for you and me. Three tasty treats- just enough to share! Shaped like a circle, triangle, and square."

5. Dragging her blanket around. She stayed with the Dunns last week while we were in Park City for our anniversary and she picked up some great ideas from Ella. One of them being that she should carry a blanket around everywhere. She doesn't seem to be too attached. I can usually take it away without her putting up a huge fight.

6. Talking/signing. Sadie has started to say and sign words. She says baby, dog/doggie, sippy ("bippy"), Dora ("doa/doda"). She signs baby, more, and all done. She signs "more" pretty much whenever she wants something, regardless of if she has had any yet. I haven't actually taught her any signs. She has learned all of these from watching her Baby Signing Times DVD. I doubted that Sadie would be able to learn any signs without a lot of effort from me, but now I am a believer!

What I've been up to:

1. Crafting. Had my most serious crafting injury last night while hot gluing lima beans onto a styrafoam wreath.

That's a big huge bubble where my skin was burned. It really hurt but now it just feels crazy.

2. Cooking. I am really trying to cook at least 3 good dinners a week. So far it is going alright.

Wow, crafting and cooking, I am so domestic!

What Daniel's been up to:

1. P90X. For those of you living under a rock, that's an intense workout program. I have joined Daniel for a few of the workouts and they are terrible! Especially the yoga- I am not used to yoga at all. I really liked some of the poses but I was really bored and antsy during a lot of it.

2. Reading every article possible on BYU's possible move to independence and updating me even though I am not that interested.
