New Kitchen

Sage got a Laugh and Learn Kitchen from Mimi and Pop-Pop for Christmas and she loves it!   I bring it into the kitchen when I am cooking and Sage cooks in her own kitchen.  This picture is from this morning, I was making breakfast and Sage was cooking too!  Can't wait until we can cook together!

Learning

It is so fun each day to watch Sage learn new things!   She catches on to things so quickly.  She now knows where her ears and belly are - quite an accomplishment:)   Yesterday on her ride on toy she learned how to go backwards and she was so impressed with herself - waving as she went away!  She loves to turn off the computer and pull out the cords - especially when I am trying to blog!  The hamper has been very exciting in our master bath.  She loves to open it and has only smashed her fingers in it once, so far!    

New Chair!

We got Sage's chair in the mail on Monday from Faith and Russ.  I had it set up for her when she got up from her nap.  Her very short nap of 30 minutes. Not sure what is going on these days but Sage's morning and afternoon naps keep getting shorter and shorter.  I am lucky if we get 45 minutes each nap.  They used to each be 1.5 hours.  Anyway, back to the chair - she loves it!  She sat in it after her nap, after dinner and before bed.  She can't get enough of her new chair.  Here she is in her new chair!

Favorites

This is one of my favorite pictures from Christmas!   It was the first day we got to Russ and Faith's and the kids were playing.  Sage looked so cute in her outfit - you can't see it but the shirt has an adorable gingerbread girl on the front.  It is the same outfit in the New Years post.  Thanks Aunt Lynne for Sage's cute outfit!

Bad Hair Day

This is what greeted us this morning!   Sage's hair was so messy I had to get the camera and snap a few pictures!  She was very happy when she woke up this morning.  For the first time in almost a week she woke up without a fever.   YEAH!!!!  She still has a runny nose and is coughing alot but she might be starting to get better.  Here is our happy girl!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  We had a very quiet New Year's Eve at home as a family!   Sage went down around 7:30 and Reese and I enjoyed a few cocktails.  We are all still sick, so it was a low key day and night, around the house.  We managed to have some fun to celebrate the New Year as you can see in the pictures below.

 

 

Christmas Day

What fun we had on Christmas Day!  Sage and Finn weren't to into the presents, but Sloan had a great time opening her presents.  It was so fun to watch her open her presents and get all excited with each one.  Here are a few pictures from Christmas Day.

 Reese got this shot and I love it!  Our beautiful girl getting a kiss from Mommy.

 Sloan and Finn playing with their new Pillow Pets!  Sage really liked hers too!

Sage was having lots of fun in Finn's chair!  Thanks to Russ and Faith she can now have fun in her own Pottery Barn chair!

TIme with Uncle Russ

While we were away for Christmas it was very clear who Sage wanted to spend time with:  Uncle Russ.  It was so cute!   She always wanted to be with Uncle Russ.   Thank you Russ for giving Sage so much of your time and attention while we were there.  She just loves her Uncle Russ!   Here are some pictures of the two of them over Christmas.

 At Christmas Eve service, it was a bit busy for us, the kids were giving us all a run for our money.

Christmas Day - all Sage wanted was to sit with Uncle Russ.  Mom and Dad couldn't keep her happy but Uncle Russ did.  

Christmas Day opening presents was lots of fun but Uncle Russ made it even more fun!

Sleeping

This picture was taken during one of Sage's naps when we were at Russ and Faith's for Christmas.  I wish I could say she slept great while we were there - that is definitely not the case.  She slept horrible the entire time we were away from home.  Naps were taken with Mom or Dad and two of the nights Sage slept with me.  This is the first time in over eleven months that Sage slept with one of us for the night.  We all sleep much better if she sleeps in her crib.  We have all slept alot better since we got home and Sage has been in her crib.  Sage went right to sleep in her crib when we got home and has been going down for naps like a champ!  She has been getting up about once a night since we got home.  This is fine with me, it is a great time to give her medicine.  She is teething and has a sinus infection.  We hope you feel better soon Sage!
