Our Girl...

This picture says alot about Sage at this age.  She has this cute grin on her face, which she usually does.  She is a very happy toddler.  Did I just call her a toddler - it has hit me lately that my baby is no longer a baby.   She is trying to get at the table and put her sippy cup on a different coaster.  She is always getting into stuff and she is so curious - I love it!  No fear - she looks like she is ready to jump on the end table.  This girl believes that she can do anything and we will be there to help pick her up and help her through. 

Expressions

Sage has been making the cutest face and I finally caught the expression Friday morning.  She is so expressive - wonder where she gets that from - maybe Reese?  Each day is so much fun with her and can be trying as well.  Miss Sage is already a stubborn little thing.  This was at the end of breakfast and she was excited that Daddy had just come downstairs.  She loves her Daddy time!

 I loved the expression on her face on this one, I had to include it!  Sage's hair is getting so long it is curly in the back and now it is starting to curl up on the sides.  I just love this little one!

No More Bottle...

We were told by our pediatrician that we should stop Sage's bottles by 15 months.  We almost made it!  We got her down to one bottle a day at bedtime.  And then just got stuck there at one bottle a day.  I loved the cuddle time when she would drink her bottle before bedtime (I am pretty sure Reese loved it too!)  Her last bottle was on Tuesday, February 15th before bedtime.  She doesn't seem to miss it and she still gives us some cuddles before bedtime!!  I continue to marvel at how quickly the time goes by.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  Been a busy few days.  This picture was taken up at my parents.  Sage had lots of fun with Nana & Papa.  She was running all over their house with her walker.  

Facing Forward...

Last Sunday we switched Sage's car seat around - she is now facing forward.  We waited to turn her around, she seemed fine the way her seat was.  But we knew we had an eight hour car ride (each way) to my parents and thought she would enjoy looking out the front with Reese and I.  She seems to like facing forward.   Time flies - I can't believe how big our girl is!

 This was Friday afternoon, we went into town to run a few errands.  Sage wasn't feeling good and we thought a change of scenery would be good for her.  She seemed to enjoy being out for a little while.

Belated Happy Valentine's Day

We took these pictures so I could do a Valentine's Day post.  But when I went to download the pictures, the computer said that the flash card was corrupted.  Enter in some help from my father.  When we got up north he used some software to recover the pictures.  Thanks Dad, for the tech support!   We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  Sage is holding the Valentine's Day card my parents sent her - she had lots of fun opening and playing with the card and the Valentine's Day banner they sent.

Fun with Mommy

I don't get to many shots of Sage and I - here are two good ones.  This was Tuesday night, we were trying to keep Sage happy.  She is getting a tooth in and she was not a happy camper.  She had lots of fun on my shoulders.  I did too - except that she had a really tight grip on my hair!

The closet

Last night we were getting stuff ready for our trip to my parents and Sage wanted to get in on the action.   I was getting our winter coats out of the closet and Sage decided to take a seat in our extra booster seat.  She had so much fun sitting in there and playing! 

15 Month Update

Amazing that Sage is now 15 months old!  We had her 15 month check up on Monday and Sage is doing great.  She now weighs 21lbs, 8 oz (29th percentile), she is 31 inches tall (69th percentile), and her head is in the 97th percentile.  Our girl is getting so big!   She is jabbering all the time, words she says:  Daddy, Mama, Papa, Uh-Oh, yes, cheese, and pizza.   She says Daddy alot and I get about three Mama's a week.  She is walking all over the place with her walker and she can walk across the room when she wants to.  She just hasn't decided that it is time to fully walk yet!  She does two signs "more" and "all done" lately she does more all the time and I have to figure out what she wants more of - it doesn't always mean more food!  Sage is starting to eat more fruits and vegetables.  Her favorite foods are:  cheese, green beans, avocados, mandarin oranges, eggs, veggie straws, gerber fruit sticks, wrap sandwiches and peanut butter toast.
