My little boddler

What's been going on. I have been neglecting the blog lately not feeling like updating my own but continuing to see what is going on in everyone elses lives. Not a ton going on lately, life is pretty good though.

I learned a new word last night while reading a book. New to me anyway BODDLER. You can probably use your awesome mother brain to figure that one out. I googled it and here is a definition of it.
Boddler is the name we gave to our children when they were no longer really babies but were not quite toddlers either - i.e. when they had started moving about so getting into scrapes but not actually walking and toddling about. The advantage of the word is that if it is spoken forcibly it does come out as a good swear word.

Oh! you little boddler!

Yes I will admit Sadie isn't really a baby anymore, but I don't think she is a real toddler yet.
So I say Sadie is at the boddler stage. She is typical and loves to empty cupboards drawers and create messes (each day trying to make more & get bigger and better) She LOVES to follow me around and copy what I do. I do think it is pretty cute all the little things she picks up on. She continues to pick and choose words from her boddler language. Only a mother can translate chheee and mmmo and know she is saying cheese and more. I think she is chincy with her words and tries to use "body language" and when that doesn't work its just screaming and grunting which again only a mother can translate. She attempts colouring on paper and herself (she always seems to find pens to colour on her clothes with ahhh) She is always reaching and whining for things that are off boddler limits. She is a decent workout partner. I knew I got those 2lb weights for a reason they are perfect for her. She totally mimics my moves. When I try to do push ups she bends down & gets right in my face and either grunts or laughs at me. She is the perfect little side kick for now.

Being naked is a major highlight everyday. It is like the ultimate freedom, she thinks she can run away from me even faster.

I love that chores aren't really chores. The beauty of this is she is actually cleaning too! Chores are like games to her she sees the vacuum and starts running- "chase me, chase me" Laundry is another favorite of hers & mine too. I am waiting for the day I dread laundry, but so far I really like it, I do it every Monday and I'm done. Maybe with more kids it will change.

She loves to get as close as possible to all the animals at the zoo, pretty funny and a little gross.

Here she is learning 2 things: patience and hot. While she watches and waits for the cookies to bake.

Chocolate I love she loves it, I rarely go a day without chocolate in some form. mmm chocolate pudding.

And here is what I made from the month of January. Each month just a quick collage I can print off in a picture. I did family ones from last year surprisingly its mostly lot of pictures of Sadie.

Little side note I dropped Ryan off today and then went grocery shopping, I was there like 1 minute before it opened & the crazy thing is I was not alone people were standing outside the door waiting to get in. I was back home before 9:00 and was already done grocery shopping and Sadie down for a nap. Weird?! but nice. ahhh gonna be a good one.
