Almost 8 months old!

Sadie has been so much fun this month and so many things have changed. She can roll over like crazy. She is saying dadadadada and mamamamama all the time. She loves to eat baby food and little puffs. Her personality is coming out and I can definitely see a little of JJ and I in that. She is a very happy baby when mommy is holding her (yes, she's going through the mommy stage). She gets mad when it is time to stop eating, but over-all she is a wonderful baby and we are truly blessed. She is trying very hard to crawl and I think she will definitely have that down pat by the end of 8 months. She is rolling over very good, but she doesn't like it when she gets stuck on her tummy! She also loves playing peek-a-boo and she can even do it herself:):). She will laugh hysterically at JJ when he plays that with her. She also continues to really love her bath time with daddy. That is very special to both of them. She also babbles all the time. She was even moaning in her sleep during church earlier today. Sometimes we wonder if she will ever get quite. We're just thankful that she is happy and not crying all the time. For the most part she is sleeping through the night still, although the last few nights have been a different story (we're hoping it's because she has a cold). Lastly, she still loves the pacifier. She stands by it strong and really won't give it up when she wants it, but hey, at least it's not her thumb (we can't throw that away). It's been a very busy month with Christmas and bringing in the New Year, but very eventful overall. We can't wait to see what kind of exciting things she does next month.

Suttons to visit!

Andrea and Matt came to NC for Christmas. It was really nice seeing them and enjoying their presence! They look so happy in their newlywed stage! We hope to see them soon, depending on if their are any special occasions to attend in AZ this summer (who could that be?)

Christmas has come and gone!

Wow, what an exciting Christmas for the Johnston's. Of course it was a lot of fun with Sadie. She actually opened presents (very slowly). She really cared more about eating the paper than she did the actual gift. She received a lot of toys and really cute clothes from family members. She also received some cash to put into her savings account! Most importantly it was nice being with family and friends. It was neat to focus on the true meaning of Christmas even if Sadie may not remember it at this age. Our busy few days were a success and we look forward to next year. We have also really enjoyed relaxing at home the past few days. Check out all the pictures from Christmas!

Sadie and Pee-dee!

Sadie had to go and visit daddy at work and Pee-dee was their taking pictures. Could she be a future Pirate Star?

Farmville Christmas Parade!

Sadie went to her first Christmas parade. It was a blast. We enjoyed it very much! We went with the Williford's and enjoyed our time together!

Volleyball Christmas Party!

I had my Christmas party with my volleyball team at school. We had it at Rachel's house and it was a lot of fun. There was fun food, gingerbread house contest, karoke, wii fun, and lot's more entertainment. All in all it was a great time together and of course exchanging gifts. I enjoyed the time together with them!

Time is flying by!

Wow, it is hard to believe that Sadie is now 7th months old. She is growing more and more in so many ways. She can now sit and stretch for miles. She says, "dadadadada" all the time. She drinks her bottle by herself on the floor. I also actually caught her sleeping on her side during a nap yesterday. And then to top it all off, she said mama at church yesterday for the first time. We were exiting the church because she was playing too loud and then everyone heard her say mama! It was really cool. She has also had a good time decorating for Christmas. She just picked at the tree to start with and now she likes looking at the lights. She is also going through the "I want mommy stage". It was cool at first, but it get a little frustrating when she wants me at sight. She loves to play in her pack-n-play with all her toys and she really loves to play with her friend Ava! Most exciting also, is she has three teeth. They really seem to come very fast. She got all three in a week in a half. It actually wasn't too bad on JJ and I also. She is also rolling over and she will be crawling before we know it. All-in-all she is a bundle of joy and we love her so very much.
