Will's Birthday

My best friend turned 27 this month! Since my brother's wedding was the same weekend, we needed to stay in town.. so I booked us a fun overnight stay-cation instead! We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Resort in Scottsdale which was gorgeous. Everyone there was SO kind and catering to us. One of the front desk staff gave Sadie a little stuffed animal and a valet guy sent a birthday card, dessert, and a fancy bottle of wine (which we didn't open of course) up to our room. In the morning, I scheduled a Swedish massage for Will while Sadie and I checked out the giant pool outside. She loved bouncing around on her tush in the zero-depth beach area and building sand castles. I was so glad we could do something extra special for his birthday during such a busy weekend with lots of family in town. On Sunday night (his actual birthday), we had cake and ice cream at my parents' house to celebrate Will, my brother Richard, and my nephew Nathan's birthdays. May (actually, springtime in general) is a busy time for birthdays in my family. It was a fun weekend! Will is always taking care of us, so I loved getting to spoil HIM for a change! Happy birthday Babe!

Growing Like a Weed

Sadie has decided to start growing up at lightning speed. She's getting a bunch more teeth in (currently has 12), puts words together like "daddy seep" (daddy is sleeping) and "nigh nigh moo" (night night Moose- our dog's nickname) and "cookie peas" (she figured this one out real fast), decided she no longer needs her binky when she lays down, and is so resourceful when she wants something. I'm constantly dragging her around running errands but she doesn't seem to mind as long as we throw in some outside play time. The girl LOVES the water and trampoline! She doesn't throw too many tantrums yet thank goodness.. but WILL cry any time Mom leaves. I can't say I don't like the extra cuddle time and clingy-ness though ;) She's my mini bestie and I wouldn't have it any other way.
