Fun At The Park

We had great weather last week and we were able to make it to the park 3 different times. We've learned a little something about Sage......she is a chicken. She won't do anything at the park. She just says "I don't want to".

This park day was a miracle because she actually climbed on a few things. We'll just keep trying and let her go at her own pace.
She thought about his tunnel long and hard, and finally crawled through it to me. She calls it a "Cave".

Frosting

She couldn't get enough of this.

Mmmm....Good!

I was baking a cake the other day and figured that Sage was finally old enough to lick the frosting off the spatula. As you can tell, she really enjoyed it.

Addy

Sage only has one doll. She got it for her birthday last year from my parents. She has an off and on again relationship with her. Sometimes, she wants to play with her all the time. Other times she wants nothing to do with her. The other night she asked for the doll and when Scott brought it to her, she called her Addy. This is the first thing she has named herself. I had one beloved doll from my childhood. Her name was Andy. She is still in my parents attic with her hair chopped off and ink stains all over her. I loved that doll! I hope Addy is like that for Sage.

25 Random Things

Once again, it's been forever since I've updated my blog. Life just gets in the way sometimes. Honestly, I hate doing a post without a picture, and Sage has been nearly impossible to photograph lately. She is just not willing to sit still at all.

There is a little game going around Facebook to list 25 random thing about yourself. I've been "tagged" many times on facebook, but haven't done the list yet. I'm going to do it here instead....Here goes....

Retreat Weekend

This last weekend was my quarterly scrabook retreat with 13 of the best women you could ever imagine. It is two days full of scrabooking, food, fun, hot tubs, and girl talk.

Sage did great, once again, without her mommy for 2 nights. My parents picked her up on Saturday morning and delivered her back to Scott after dinner. She had a great time with them. If she goes longer than a week or so without seeing them, she starts to cry for them. I love that she is so comfortable with them. When we are all together, she asks me and Scott to leave, so she can have my parents all to herself!

Sage has decided that crawling on the coffee table is the new hot thing. This is how Scott found her when I was gone.

I got home from my walk tonight and Sage ran to me and said "Mommy, I missed you". I about died.

Happy New Year

Sorry for the lack of posts. It has been a very busy January. I've been working extra and just keeping up with everyday tasks is feeling very hard to do. I don't have any new pictures of Sage, but she is continuing to grow and talk like crazy. I will catch up soon!

Happy Holidays

Santa was very good to Sage this year. Must be because she is such a good girl. Her big Santa gift was a kitchen and she has been cooking for us all weekend. She walked out to the tree on Christmas morning and looked at her gifts and said "AWESOME". I have no clue where she learned that. On Christmas Eve she came up with a new phrase too.....FOR GOD'S SAKE. The funny thing is, she says it at totally appropriate times. I can tell you where she learned that one....from ME. We spent Christmas morning at home with just the 3 of us, and then my parents came over for a prime rib dinner later in the day. It was a great, relaxing day. Sage met her new cousin Reid for the first time this weekend. Scott's sister had her first baby in July and we met him this weekend. The photos are from a little shoot we did on Christmas Eve evening.
