Just an update

So, I take a ton of photos on my phone and post most of them to instragram mainly for the fact that I can easily upload them to the photobook publishing site Mixbook that I use. However, I cannot figure out an easy way to get them off instagram to blogger. So with that said, that is the reason I have not been posting much. Well, that and let's be honest I am just starting to get out of this first trimester funk of exhaustion and survival mode! I do love blogging and am frustrated I can't upload the pictures here, but my whole purpose of blogging is to keep our family history and I am still doing that... just less on blogger.

Harper is as sweet as they come! She can say "mama", "dada" and is starting to say "hi" and  "papa". She also continues to learn new signs every day. She blows kisses from her bed when we put her to sleep. And she is still an amazing sleeper. She has been fighting the morning nap, but how can I complain when she sleeps 12 hours at night and takes a good afternoon nap? She survived Hand, Food and Mouth, which she had a really bad case of. Her poor skin is already so sensitive as it is, so it was rough. We actually have an appointment set with the dermatologist next month. Her hair is crazy and curly. We always get comments on her hair. Her favorite thing to do is look at books. She sits on the rocking chair with books and gibber jabbers to herself. She also likes playing with the little people and with baby dolls of course. She wants to color and play play dough, climb, do everything her big sister does. She loves her blankie.

Sage is a handful these days. She tests my patience and pushes my buttons just about every minute of the day, but we sure do love her. She keeps things exciting around here! She is full of energy and is always on the go. She requires a lot of attention and needs to be seen and heard. She has a very determined and outgoing personality. She is so helpful and is also so cuddly and loving. She tells me dozens of times a day how much she loves me-always to the moon and back! She is inquisitive and eager to learn. She is so proud that she can spell her name- S-A-G-E, SA-G-E. She says it over and over again. She has mastered climbing the ladders at the park and feels a huge sense of accomplishment. She is also taking gymnastics and can do a pretty impressive summersault. She is working on cartwheels and headstands. Baby dolls are still her favorite to play with, but she also loves her doll house and playing in the kitchen. She loves playing make believe and has the greatest imagination!

We love our girls and are so excited for this next little baby to join us. I'm 13ish weeks and just starting to come alive again. I seriously have been playing major catch up the last couple months because I seem to always be behind on laundry, meal planning or grocery shopping, dust that I usually never let settle has graced our bookshelf and my usual clean mirrors and windows have gone weeks with streaks. At the end of the day I know those things don't matter, but I am constantly reminding myself that. I should also mention that Taylor is amazing as always. He lets me sleep in just about every day, has fixed countless meals, given just about every bath to the girls this last little bit, gone grocery shopping for me and has done way more share of his laundry folding, which is both of our least favorite chore. He.is.amazing.

I'm kinda in love with this little family that I get to call mine!
