I'm ready for my close up, Mr. Deville!

Last Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Barbour took Sadie to get some pictures made. She did great and the outcome was wonderful. We had to choose from 107 pictures, so here are just a few that I thought you would enjoy to look at. She also discovered her feet on this day and boy does she love them now!

Oh, how she grows!

Sadie had her 4 month appointment today. She had some shots, but overall she did great. She sounded much better than the other 4 babies in there screaming FOREVER! She weighed 14lbs 2oz. She was on the 50th percentile, so that was perfect. She also grew about 2 inches. The next couple of months should be interesting. She gets to be introduced to peas, carrots, pears, and applesauce. We'll keep you posted on how that is going!

4 months old!

Wow, we can't believe that Sadie will be 4 months old on Friday. Lot's of things have gone on during this month. She sleeps completely through the night, so mommy and daddy love that. She will laugh really loud and that is really funny! She goos and gahs and does lot's of cool stuff like that. She has this book with teethers on it and it is her favorite thing to play with right now. Those are just a few of the changes. Mommy had to go back to work, so she is also staying with the babysitters now. She is loving every moment of it and has made a smooth transition. She is truly a great baby and blessing from the Lord. She also loves going with mommy to volleyball practice. She just sits in her bumbo and watches. Here are a few pictures from the past month including a photo shoot with future best friend Logan Radez!

Family Reunion!

Sadie attended her first family reunion. It was the Barbour reunion and it was quite an experience. She had a enjoyable time and everyone loved meeting her. Here are some pics from that day!

Tribute to Uncle Cecil!

Shelley's Uncle Cecil went to be with the Lord earlier in July. He battled months with cancer and now will be remembered as the incredible man that he was. Here are a few pics remembering him and others who were gathered. The carolina outfit that Sadie is wearing is definitely for him (cause most of you know that shelley is not a carolina fan). We love him and will remember him now and forever!

Andrea's gets hitched!

So, yeah, my friend Andrea is finally getting married. God couldn't have picked a better guy than Matt. He is perfect for her. So, the month of August was super busy preparing for the big day. We had lot's of showers and then the big day was August 25th. Here are some great pictures from the shower and wedding. I can't wait to see hear all about the honeymoon (well not all about it--ahahahah). I love you guys and miss you lot's! Check out the pics!

Vacation

Sadie had her first family vacation last week. We went with the Barbour's the Myrtle Beach. It was a lot of fun. We did lot's of shopping, pool fun, and eating. It was nice spending time with family. Grandma couldn't come, so we missed her a lot. That was the only thing missing that would make it a perfect vacation. We left on Friday and traveled down to Atlantic Beach to spend some time with the Johnston's. They surprised us by bringing our nephew Jacob. It was so neat seeing Sadie and Jacob interact. He loves her so very much! We also had lot's of fun there and really enjoyed our beach time. We look forward to many more family vacations! I attached some pictures that were captured during our vacation week! Enjoy!

Three months old!

Wow, it's hard to believe that our little Sadie is 3 months old! We have seen lot's of changes this month. Our favorite has to be when she laughs out loud. It is great! She is a very happy baby and we see how blessed we are as we interact with her daily! Our friend Rachel Henderson gave her a photo shoot for her 3 month photos! I have attached most of the cute ones......of course we think all of them are cute!

Busy in July

July has been one very busy month. We are seeing Sadie change so much every week. She is a lot of fun and we love her so very much. She attended her first wedding. Beth Cummings got married and Sadie did great at the wedding! We also had a visit from our good friends Rachel and Brian Henderson and their little girl, Abby. It was a lot of fun having them over to spend time with and catch up. It was also neat to see Sadie and Abby interact. We look forward to seeing them as they grow up together! We've attached a few pictures from these two events as well as some random pictures during July! Enjoy, and we would love to hear how all of you are doing!

Happy Birthday America!

We had a blast at the annual 4th of July cookout at the Cokers. We had pig and lot's of goodies to go with it. The fellowship was awesome and the fireworks were quite eventful! Sadie did great. She loved the fireworks. She just stared at them in the sky and there were NO tears! Hopefully it will stay that way as she begins to get older! We look forward to next years excitement at the Cokers!! Here are a few pictures from our eventful evening.
