10 month old toddler?

it is true sadie has graduated from infant to toddler in the matter of minutes
though her preferred method of madness is still falling and crawling really really fast to what ever item it is that we are trying to hide
i apologize for missing last weeks picture and data update
believe it or not we have hardly taken any pictures? !?!
man i feel like a bad parent now i have missed one week....as though 1,600 pictures is not enough right?
anyways what is going on in the wonderful world of cleveland?
we are all very excited that sadie's aunt mel, uncle danny and cousins darcey, conor and maggie will all be coming to play for sadie b-day!
i am sure sadie has lots and lots of kisses to give them
she has been talking to her cousins pictures since she was just a little sprout
so what does graduation from infant to toddler mean.....
sadie is walking not cruising (though she still likes to cruise) she has let go of the furniture and has taken bold steps forward
she loves being outside
words added to her vocab:
tree - for the horticulturists in the family this should make you happy (though it is not in latin)
thank you which sounds like tank ewe
i want down which sounds like i wa dow
all done which sounds like a don
frankie which sounds like ankie
there is also a lot of pointing going on and words i have not been able to translate.....though mimi is on the mission and usually can translate all of sadie's words
the house:
that is a story all in itself as it usually is but we are still in the process of working things out.....but now we have a different plan.....
we are finishing the windows in the house, new siding and new gutters
our front stairs are yes going to be ripped out by us and we will be pouring a new concrete pad for them to sit on......because we love a project than if all the planets are aligned and the world is free of mosquitoes we will be having a local company drop in place concrete steps....
so cross your fingers!
we are still working on the back yard and getting that cleaned up to rototill so we can plant sod
(sadie loves to eat grass and dandelions)
i have only have one more week of school!!!! yipppeee!!!!! and still have not figured out if i want to take a summer class
i am signed up but it is very hard to convince myself that sitting in a library class for 8 hours a week will be fun.....
aaron and i have started another blog (which is still in the works) but its all about hikes in ohio
so on sunday we plan on taking a new hike somewhere near, next to, or by cleveland
we took a hike at brandywine falls...it was a good day to see rabbits and wildflowers
until later enjoy.......this is a movie of what happens when one takes a break with sadie....you are a jungle gym for her amusement
