Little Stinker

Sage is a little stinker! Our nap routine has been thrown out the window! Or I should say over the side of her crib along with her blankets, bottles and anything else she can get a hold of to throw overboard. This morning she did just that for over an hour and a half. She played, laughed and squealed for well over an hour. We had lunch with a friend today and she sure was ready for an afternoon nap. She would have slept well past 5 pm if I let her. I got her up at 4 with the intent of putting her to bed a little earlier. With the time change we have been putting her to bed at 7 instead of 6, which means she sleeps in later too. I thought maybe putting her back to her 6 pm-6 am would help her get back into a routine. Luckily she was ready for bed at 6 pm. However she played, cried, squealed, laughed and called out "dadadadada" over and over again for almost an hour and a half. Finally we gave in and peeked in her room. As soon as we opened the door she started laughing and giggling. She had both her blankets, bottle and her pants thrown over the side of her crib. That's right... her pants. She took off her jammie bottoms and threw them overboard with everything else. After she was done laughing she just whined and kept signing for milk. We gave her a little bit of milk and we knew when she finished it because all we could hear was her banging her bottle against the side of her crib. She is such a funny little stinker.

This video was taken when she was 6 months old. She was a stinker back then too, but at least she couldn't jump around!

1st Place: Taylor Fenton

The good, the bad and the sad...

I feel like Sage is looking more and more like a little girl and not a baby. Some said that I will not always take so many pictures of her, but I haven't found that to be true yet. I just want to remember ever little smile and expression. I want to remember everything... the good, the bad, the sad... Last night was really sad. Taylor was saying how cold it was and went and closed our bedroom window and asked if I had opened Sage's window. I thought he had closed it and he said he didn't know it was open so just closed the blinds. I went in her room to check and there was an awful smell. I peeked in her crib to see her sound asleep on top of a pile of blankets and her feet sitting in a pile of throw up. When we put her to bed she cried out, but it was just for a minute and then there was silence, so we didn't think anything of it. We got her up and changed the bedding and her jammies. We felt pretty bad. She sure did wake up happy today though. 

Sage loves to cover her ears. We have no idea where she learned that, but she covers them and just laughs. She thinks it is so funny. 

Twenty-Five

We celebrated Taylor's birthday this past weekend. Sage and I got him up with balloons and a couple presents. Michael & Mary watched Sage for us while went to see Hunger Games in the morning. Afterwards we came home and relaxed while Sage girl napped and then we went back to City Creek to look around and have some dinner. We wanted Sage to sing and have a cup cake with us so we were going to do it on Sunday, but Taylor woke up with the flu. Luckily it didn't hit him too hard and he was filling a lot better by the afternoon. We ended up singing and eating cupcakes Monday night. We love that man and are so glad he was born! He is perfect for us! We hope twenty-five is good to him! 

City Creek

It was really fun to finally go to the long awaited City Creek. It was fun to see all the excitement. It opened on Thursday and we went Friday afternoon and again on Saturday afternoon to look around some more and get some dinner. Friday afternoon we took tracks downtown, which was fun. Saturday we just drove down there.  I feel like City Creek is very classy with lots of high end stores, which makes for some fun window shopping. We did do a little shopping though. Sage found a dress at H&M, Taylor found a couple shirts at American Eagle and I found a shirt at Forever 21. Its fun to just walk around without shopping too. I love the atmosphere. The Church has done a spectacular job. The architecture is beautiful and I love the creek and fountains. It was great to see downtown so alive. 

(Ignore the poor picture quality from my phone) The picture on the left shows how Sage greeted us this morning when we went to get her up for the day. She even slept in an extra hour. Her hair is always this crazy in the morning, but she usually at least has a smile on her face. I guess she woke up on the wrong side of the crib. On the right you can see a much happier reaction as I went in to get her up from her afternoon nap. Oh, she makes me smile even with her grumpy face. 

Daddy Daughter Day

I went to bed with a headache and a little stomach ache and then woke up sick with the flu in the middle of the night. When Sage heard my voice this morning as she had breakfast and played with Taylor, she went crazy for me. She banged on our bedroom door and kept yelling for me. I gave her kisses through the door and she made kissy sounds right back to me. When she got up from her nap Taylor got her dressed and even did her hair and the two of them ran to Target to get me some Sprite. Now they're off running an errand and picking themselves up some lunch. Taylor says they're having a daddy daughter day. I love it! I love watching them together. There is something special about a daddy daughter relationship and I know Taylor looks forward to many daddy daughter days to come! Sage sure loves her daddy and I love him too. He's so good to us!
