My Sailor

Just because she was being a total ham for me - I had to pull out my camera....and snap a few shots of my soon to be 15 month old - say whaaa???

We can officially put sister's hair in piggy tails...so that means this mama will be purchasing some more bows;)

The girl LOVES LOVES LOVES her binkies

and LOVES LOVES LOVES her big brother...

and she's into shoes lately...every morning after I get her dressed - she points to her shoes...

Greyson thinks she's pretty funny too  :)

ALL of her teeth seem to be coming in at once...

I just can't get enough of our tootie....we just love her to pieces!

We're over the hump - Happy Wednesday!

Sailor's actual birth day...

It started bright and early because we all know my kids are early risers...6am to be exact...Nate had to work but he made sure to wish Sailie a Happy Birthday and tons of birthday kisses before he left.

I made the kids waffles and while the three of us ate breakfast together we sang the birthday song to Sailor....she made sure to dance along with our singing...it was another one of our morning dance parties in the kitchen...

Soon after our dance party my phone was on overload with texts and videos from family wishing Sailor a Happy Birthday!  She's one lucky little girl!  Here are the two videos she listened to bright and early...

This one is from our sweet little Jayne girl...actually my mom and dad (grammy Ann and Papa Mike) are visiting with Jayne right now so they were not around...but they made sure to call of course...

After that I got the kids ready for the day and dropped them off at my grandmas while I went to the Y for a bit.  After that Greyson went with Dee Dee garage 'saling' and I had to take Sailor to the doctor.  Yes, it just so happened that her one year appt. landed on her actual birth day.  We didn't get any shots on Friday.  We were due for some but I opted out of them and we will just get them at her next appt.  Dr. Bob said it was no big deal.  I just didn't want to do that to her on her birthday.  Sailor weighed in at 20lbs right on the nose!  After that we met Grey back at home, had some lunch and then it was down for naps.

When nap time was over, Auntie Mims surprised Sailor with a cupcake and guess what we did again?  Sang Happy Birthday of course!

 This was how Sailor chose to eat it...ha!

Silly girl

Look at that face full of frosting...

And to end the night, Dee Dee and Papa Davey met us at the pool where we enjoyed a couple cocktails and some dinner from Garzanelli's.  And, YES, we sang Happy Birthday to Sailor one more time;)

My children are so loved:)

and I forgot to mention the climbing you are doing...you think you are big stuff...the one leg goes up and then you make your way up onto whatever it is

 this might be one thing I dislike about this stage - because you are fearless and that scares me...

Oh baby girl I look at you and I can't believe you are ONE...

 

and I would just like to mention that you are a PRO with a straw...we taught you that early - 

and my lil' fish...look at him with his goggles -ha!

So that's what your actual 'birth' day looked like little girl...Shortly after this, we headed home for baths and bedtime.

Sailor had a FULL day and was very tired.  She barely made it through her tubby!

We have not had the BIG first birthday party yet...but it's coming...

Here are the invites I made...

So, the 'Sail-ebration' will be contd. in about 2 weeks:)

Sailor is ONE! Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Can you believe it?!  I can't.  I do not know where this year has gone.  I can tell you this though - it has probably been ONE of the best years ever and that is because I've been home with my family.  I don't think I've ever been happier.

Oh I LOVE this little baby girl!  One year ago today on 6.29.2011 at about 8:30am they layed this beautiful little angel on my chest...this was Sailor last year...(4 days old)

 from that to this...crazy!

(another one of her as a newborn and one with Grey)  Oh how I love the smell of newborns - OMG-heaven!

So let's see...this month you have been getting stronger and stronger on those little chubby feet.  You are not walking but you continue to pull yourself up on the furniture and cruise along it!  You are BUSY BUSY BUSY.

You LOVE to raid my cupboards - it's probably your favorite thing to do and go through brothers drawers.  Every time I go in his bedroom his clothes seem to be sprinkled all over the floor:)  I have brought up the walking toys and you are starting to hold on to them and take a few steps.

You have started to climb the stairs so we need to make sure the doors are CLOSED unless I let you climb them while I follow you obviously.  You love to do that...

You have the biggest grin and I love when those 2 little teeth show - but they are still the ONLY teeth you have-ha!  And your voice is still very deep -cracks us up!

I still have you on formula but we actually went to the dr. today (it always seems as though I take my kids to the dr. on their birthdays) and he said I can start you on whole milk now so once we finish this jar of formula I think we'll give whole milk a try.  You eat anything and everything we give you.  You like to eat!  I have not given you any juice yet - just water.

You idolize your big brother...you watch everything he does and he loves you and is so good with you...Usually when I think he's up to no good I'll walk in the room and he's leaning over to give you a kiss or something...don't worry - he's got your back...you two will be good friends...

You take 2 naps a day and sleep through the night!

You are still crazy about waving to people and it's pretty darn cute!  Your favorite word continues to be da-da...you still 'throw me a bone' with ma-ma sometimes but for the most part you cruise around the house saying da-da-da-da. - You have your own word for Greyson and we can't make it out yet but we know that's what you're saying...

But you are still just a babbling machine...

You are crazy ticklish and love when we 'chase' you...and you are always up for a lightsaber 'war' with Grey.

You continue with the dance moves as well...when the music starts - you start bumpin' and you have recently started you're own little 'twist' - OMG is it cute!

But no matter what when you want to get to something FAST - you resort to the butt scooting...you will crawl when you have to and by that I mean if you get yourself in a pickle or 'stuck' you crawl your way out...

You are such a joy in our lives!  I love every morning waking up to those bright blue eyes!

Happy Birthday Tootie!  We Love You!
