9 Months


Where has the time gone. I felt like my 9 month pregnancy went fast, this 9 months with Sage went even faster. She is getting quite the personality. She is so silly with a little sass. 


We get to FaceTime with Matt every day. It's fun seeing Sage's face light up when she sees her Daddy. In this photo we got to have lunch with him. It was fun getting to sit and eat with Dad. 


This is her "I just woke up" pony! Haha. Her hair is getting longer and thicker. 



Sage LOVES her cousin Cali. These two are so fun to sit and watch. They both follow each other around. I hope they are always the best of friends. 



Unfortunately Sage got RSV and was so sad for a week straight. It was so hard having Matt gone and dealing with a sick baby. We sat and cuddled on the couch a lot! I'm so happy she is feeling better now. Since we spent so much time cuddling she has gotten so cuddly. I love it!


My mom has been so awesome while Matt has been gone. She has helped me a lot! 


Once Sage started feeling better from being sick it felt so good to get out of the house and go for a little walk in the fresh air. 


So, I am still working as a nanny. Right now I am working with a family with two little girls 
(3 years & 11 months) and a large great dane. Sage is CRAZY for dogs. She gets that from her Mama. Every morning she gets so excited to get out of her car seat to sit and talk to this dog. The dog equally loves Sage, because every time we walk in she greets us at the door and sticks her HUGE head in Sage's car seat to see Sage. Sage is always ready to give her a morning kiss. I think Sage spends most of her time climbing on the dog. I love that she loves dogs so much! One day Sage! I promise! We will get one of our own.


Sage's new favorite after dinner treat is a 'peanut butter spoon'. She kicks her little legs with excitement as she watches me getting it ready for her. However, she is not a fan of cleaning up after! 



Matt came home for a week to play! Sage was so excited to see her "Dada". It was so fun watching their bond grow even stronger while he was home. One of the days we took Sage swimming. She was very unsure about floating in the water with us. She clung to us so tight. She loved the shallow end. She was like a little sea turtle crawling around.


My mom was nice enough to watch Sage while Matt and I went out for a fancy date night to NICKELMANIA!! Haha! We used to always go to nickelmania before Sage. It's where I discovered I have a gambling problem. TICKETS!! I need more tickets! It was so fun getting to spend some time just the two of us. We reminisced about our dating days...literally days. Haha!! I'm so happy I was able to trick him into marrying me!


With Matt being gone it is so hard to take care of Sage and still manage to get everything done. So we turn on the TV. Call me a bad mother, I don't care. She loves this STUPID show called 'Mother Goose Club'. It's just a bunch of nursery rhymes, which I end up singing to myself all day and sometimes in my sleep. Haha!! Anyway, so I use the TV as my babysitter so I can either get things done or even just have a little break to myself.


It's starting to feel like spring! Its so fun to see Sage light up when we get to go outside and play. She got this swing for Christmas and we finally got outside to hang it and try it out. She loves it so much! I love that little scrunched face of hers! 


I never thought I would get so lucky! Sage makes me the happiest. I have loved everything about being her Mama. Even the moments when I ask her to 'say Mama' and she repeats 'Dada' over and over again. Haha!! I know you love me too even if you can't say it yet. 


We miss our man though! He defiantly makes life more fun! He is such a hard worker, and its been fun hearing all about his days and all he has learned.
