Baking on a cold Spring day

2 months

2 months?! Once again time has flown by as I am sure we will say every month that passes. It seems like forever away, but I am sure we will look back years from now when you have a family of your own and say the same thing and wonder where the time has gone. You are such a good baby. You never cry unless you are hungry (or in the car if your headband has fallen down over your eyes!) and you love to snuggle. Your calmness is just what our little family needed. You have started to smile and coo. And as you can tell you have really filled out. You won't have your 2 month check for a couple weeks because mom thought she had plenty of time to schedule it after your 2 week check, but 2 months sure has crept up on us! You are still really sleepy, but have started to be awake a little more the past week. When you are awake you are happy sitting under your jungle gym and looking around. You are most alert/awake between 8-11 pm. You love warm baths. You love to nurse and usually fight the bottle until hunger wins. You are so beautiful and we love everything about you!

Sage Bug

Sage 

Does not stop talking.

Goes on the potty like a champ. 

Says "bless you" when you sneeze

Calls Harper by her first and middle name- Harper Lee

Always wants to "pick" her own snack 

Always says "try" and wants to try everything we do or have

Copies everything we say. The other day she copied me and said "shoot!" and then "oh geez!"

Has a really good memory

Likes to help

We always sing the primary song, "A Happy Family" and she chooses who we love... "I love Sage girl she loves me, we love..." usually it is always mama, dada, Harper and papa. The other day she said, "Cole" and then "Cole mama" (meaning Cole's mom Caitlin) and she has since been adding cousins to the list. Our song is getting quite long...

Asks to paint and play play-doh on a daily basis

loves going to the nursery at church

likes to sing. her favorite song at the moment is "head, shoulders, knees and toes"

Besides birthdays, first swim of the year and Easter our days have been full of everyday fun. 

Breakfast with Bree & Syd

Sage, Harper and I met up with my friend Bree and her lil gem Sydney the other day for breakfast. It was a good time besides the fact that Sage bit open a sugar packet, sprinkled salt on the table, didn't eat and kept throwing her food, play-doh and crayons I brought for her to keep her busy... Luckily Bree was more than understanding and patient with us! We look forward to getting together again... most likely outside where the kids can run around while we visit! 

Easter- Take 2!

If you read my previous post you will see that Sage and the camera were not friends the other day... I dressed them back into their Easter outfits and tried again this morning and they're friends again! For today anyways... 

Easter

We all (Taylor's siblings and their families) went up to Paradise the day before Easter and spent the day playing and eating good food. We colored eggs, played Easter Bingo, went on an egg hunt and received fun baskets filled with all kinds of "prizes"(surprises- as Sage girl calls them). As always it was tons of fun. We stayed the night at Grandma & Papa's and spent Easter day with them. Even with a hurt arm grandma managed to fix a wonderful Easter dinner. We put the girls baskets outside and had Sage go out and find them. Her happy and excited mood quickly changed as soon as she saw the camera. Her and the camera were not friends that day as you will notice. I am constantly reminded that things do not often go according to plan or how I envision them to play out in my mind. Sometimes I forget to laugh and enjoy the journey. Taylor is always by my side to remind me and to assure me that the day is not ruined over a few tears and snot and that life in fact will go on... I am grateful for this life I live and for my Savior who has made this life possible and makes it oh so sweet.
