7 Months

Sage is now 7 months old and is full of personality! She is always smiling and recently always has her tongue out. It is so cute! 

It's been getting chilly outside so we broke out the hats! She still loves being outside so it's time to start bundling her up. 

Marshmallow baby! Chilly winter night walks.

Happy Thanksgiving for the 3 of us!

Her newest trick is pulling herself up! She needs to slow down. Our doctor told us that he doesn't want her to be walking tell 10 months and I don't know how that's going to work out. She is unstoppable. 

Sage's first Christmas tree! Even though she doesn't understand this year, it's so fun getting to share our traditions with her. 

I hope she always loves me as much as she loves me right now. We are the best of buds! I spend most of my days laying on the floor with her. 

6 Months

16 lbs (52%) & 24.5 inch (12%)

Sage is now 6 months old! I feel like I say this every month, but she just gets more and more fun as the days go on. I am one lucky mamma to get to spend my days with her smiling face! 

Sage is now sitting up, and crawling all over the place! Getting to watch all her mile stones is so much fun! Now that she is crawling she just seems even more happy! She is getting so much better at playing by herself. Which makes my life a little easier. The one thing that doesn't make my life easier is that Sage is a BIG FAT MAMMA'S GIRL. She only wants me. If someone else is holding her she just cries, expressly if she can see me. With Matt being so busy with school he doesn't get to spend a lot of time with Sage, so when he is home I sneak out of the room so him and Sage can have time with out me in the room. 

 Sage loves looking at the cute girl in the mirror. She sits there and smiles and giggles at herself.

Sage's hair now fits into the tiniest pony tail! I absolutely love it. I still love a bow in her hair, but she has recently discovered them on her head. She grabs them, pulls them down, and then sucks on them! It drives me crazy. So the pony has been a fun change.

Our little bunny! Even though Sage doesn't understand Halloween just yet, it was still so fun to experience a holiday as parents! It got me really excited for Christmas! 

Just looking out the window in her Sunday best! She still loves and prefers to be outside.

I sure do love this big eyed beauty!

5 Months

Sage is now 5 months old. She is our little shorty! She is in the 15th percentile for height. She has two teeth. She has mastered the army crawl, and I bet she will be full on crawling by the end of the month. She is working on sitting, she is still a little wobbly but she is getting closer.

Sage got to go to the fair for the first time. She loved looking around at all the lights and people walking by. She loved seeing all the animals until a sheep walked towards her making the loudest sheep noise! Sage jumped and her eyes went so big, looked at me and started to cry. Matt and I got laughing so hard! 

Sage is such a busy body these days! She does not like to sit still for very long, which makes church hard! She would prefer to walk the halls and look at everything. She also loves to babble when it gets quite. Haha I only last 15 minutes in RS before I need to walk out. Not because she is fussy, because she wants to talk to everyone. I have many women find me after asking me why I left, because they were having fun watching Sage.  

Two teeth decided to pop out! She didn't even seem phased by them. I thought she would of been really fussy leading up to them cutting through, but she was still her happy self. One day I put my finger on her gums to feel how close they were, and they were so close. So all the rest of that day I let Sage chew on my finger and as she would bite I would push down in hopes to get them out. And it worked! But now its not so fun when she wants to chew on your finger. She left a pretty good mark on Matt's knuckle the other day! It made me laugh. Hahaha  

We love when cousins come to play! I love watching these two play. I know they are going to be best buds as the years go by. Sage will always look up to her cousin Cali. 

Sage is now eating food! She likes it but doesn't love it. I for sure don't love it! It is probably the messiest process there is. She is so wiggly and food gets everywhere. It is pretty cute to watch her try and figure out how to use her tongue.

  

Matt has been so busy with school, so its so hard to find time to spend together. He started fall break and so its been so great to get to be with him. Also with me being a schedule notsi for Sage its hard to get out and have a real weekend. Its important for me to bend a little so that we can have a life. Haha So we got out of the house and walked around temple square and city creek. It was good to get out in the fall air. 

With Sage now moving all over the place we thought it would be a good idea to take the sleeping noodles off. I had little faith, but she has done great!!

She is so close to sitting! But she will only sit on the grass. She loves being outside. I don't know what I am going to do in the winter time. I think she will teach me to love winter, at least I hope!

This was such a fun day! We were at Liberty Park, the wind blew, and all the leaves started falling. Sage looked up with her big eyes and giggled as the leaves hit her face. After sitting in leaves for a few minutes she realized she could pick up the leaves and put them in her month. Once that happened she wouldn't stop, and she wouldn't look up at me anymore. But I got a few good photos! 

Spending my days with Sage is my favorite! Yes, there are plenty of hard moments but these moments of wonder make it all worth it. Sage has taught me how much I take for granted. Such as the joy of laying in the grass, or the leaves falling from the trees. I love getting to watch her experience the world around her! She is a good reminder for me to stop and enjoy the little things around me.  

She is my favorite person ever!!

4 Months

4 Months Old!

14.8 lbs (70%) 24 inches (35%)

Sage is now 4 months old! She gets more fun as the days go by! She is such a happy girl. She is always smiling. She is starting to full on laugh, not just little giggles, belly laughs! She is always on the move, rolling and scooting everywhere. I'm a little worried that when she starts crawling that I am going to have my hands full with her. She is also the biggest Daddy's girl! 

I put Sage in a swing for the first time and she LOVED it! Now all I want to do is buy her one so we can swing everyday!

Sage has been fortunate to be able to go on outings like the Zoo & the Aquarium since I have been working. We went to the aquarium a week or so back and we were the only ones there at the time. We sat in the Shark tunnel for about 20 minutes. It was so fun watching Sage look around at all the sharks, sting rays, and fish swim around her. She giggled and smiles at everything! 

Sage got pretty lucky on the cousin front! They all love her so much. She loves watching them all run around and play. She kicks her feet with excitement, almost like she wants to get out there with them!

Riley and Sage have the cutest bond of them all! Every time Riley comes up to say "Hi" or give her a love, Sage gets the biggest smile of her face and gets so excited! Riley is so protective of little Sage, he wants to help her with everything. My heart melts seeing these two together!

Football season started, so that means we have a little Ute Fan on our hands. I would have to say she is probably the cutest Ute Fan! GO UTES!

3 Months

3 Months Old

This past month has been so fun! Sage is such a happy baby. She has started smiling, she smiles at everything. She also has found her voice! I love listening to her coo and giggle. It's probably my favorite sound ever! 

Sage is a mover! She now rolls over from her back to her tummy! Once she did it, she hasn't stopped! She is always rolling around the house. I turn around for a second and she has rolled across the room! I have a feeling she will always keep us on our toes, always chancing after her! 

She also sucks on everything!! She always has her fist in her mouth, and if not her fist she will find something to suck on. I went into her room to see if she had fallen asleep, but found her just sucking away at the crib bumper pads. 

This month I started working again. I am working with a 2 year old boy named Luke. He loves Sage! He is always so excited to see 'Baby Sage' each morning. He loves reading her books and giving her loves. Sage loves watching him play. I always find her smiling and giggling at him. 

We had the opportunity to go to Bear Lake for a few days with my family. Unfortunately Sage ended up getting her first cold. Which wasn't a very fun 'First'. But she just smiled through her runny nose. I love my baby girl! 

I have found that Sage loves to be outside! She loves to look around at everything and listen to all the sounds. When ever she gets fussy you can just take her outside and she is happy again. We have started to go walk outside and wait for Dad to come home. As he pulls up we jump in the front seat and take a little ride as he parks the car. Sage loves her Daddy! 

2 Months

2 Months Old

Sage is now 2 months old. She weighs 12 lb. (83%) and is 22 in. long (59%). She sleeps through the night, is always smiling, rolls over (tummy to back), and has found her tongue. 

Cousins are the best! Even though there is a 5 year difference between these two cute girls, I can already tell they are going to be best buds. Watching Cali play with Sage is probably the cutest thing. Sage just smiles as Cali surrounds her with toys and smothers her with loves. Sage is Cali's real life baby doll. 

Soo...lately Sage has been rolling over a lot! She is a tummy sleeper which makes rolling over a very frustrating trick. The moment she rolls over on to her back she starts to scream! This peaceful photo only lasted about 2 minutes before she was crying again. This not only makes nap time hard, it is so frustrating when she does it at night! She has proven time and time again that she is very capable of sleeping through the night, so when she wakes up due to rolling over it is very annoying. 

When this started happening my mom thought of a way to stop her. She made this silly looking belt with pool noodles strapped to the sides so that Sage wouldn't be able to roll over while she slept. We all made fun of this silly looking invention. But one night Matt and I were having a really hard time getting her to go to bed. Every time we would get her to sleep we would go to transfer her into her bed and with in seconds she would roll over and wake up. Finally after a few tries Matt told me to go get my moms noodle belt. Haha!! They work! And now she always wears her belt when sleeping. 

(sorry for making fun of you mom)
