9 Months

Little Miss Sage was 9 months old on the 26th....I can't believe how quickly she is growing up! We had a great weekend with family. Sage and I were both under the weather to start the weekend, but felt well enough to enjoy company.

Sage got to meet several cousins! My cousin Mary and her husband Brian were visiting from Seattle and spend a couple nights at our house. My cousin Katina fled the flood waters of Bismarck to hang out with us. We were also able to see my cousin Marisa, my parents came for the weekend, and Nick and Adam both made an appearance. Nick's girlfriend Diane was also here for the weekend. Our friends Andy and Heather were in town with their kids. We went to their hotel to visit and Sage went swimming for the first time!

Sage is getting more and more active! She now can:

-Stand on her own for a few seconds- she did this a few times this weekend
-Has her first top tooth! She has three more on the top that look close
-She will cuddle with her stuffed animals and hug her Bitty Baby
-She said Da Da very clearly- Justin went downstairs and she was at the gate.
-She LOVES sweet potatoes

-Went swimming for the first time

Sage is skipped daycare yesterday to hang out with her cousins Katina and Marisa :)

Sage has turned into a busy body! She is always on the go, go, go! Her new favorite thing is hanging out on the coffee table. She pulls herself up and then lets herself down, and repeats! SHe has figured out how to gradually let herself down when she is standing up now. We do have one an occasionally face plant into the coffee table :(

-Eats solids! Loves sweet potatoes and cereal and hates peas

-Converted into her new car seat!

-Crawls nonstop

-Pulls herself up to standing

-Loves bath time

-Sounds like she is saying dada

-Waves and claps arms when you tell her YAY!

-Loves to kiss the patio door

-Makes all sorts of funny noises

Little Miss Busy Body

Sage has turned into a little busy body! Not only is she crawling, but she is pulling herself up constantly! Her favorite is the coffee table, which gave her a nice little scratch on her nose! I know there will plenty more of those! She also no longer a fan of her car seat :( She wants to be out and moving! We have also gone backwards on sleep- no more sleeping through the night- she is getting up around 1 and again around 4-5. She acts hungry- maybe a growth spurt??? When she wakes up, she sits up in her crib or crawls to the corner by the door and yells until we come get her!

We had a great Easter in NoDak! We had a full house- Mom, Dad, Justin, Sage, Adam, Nick, and Nick's girlfriend Diane. We made deer bologna on Saturday! Sage was Grandpa's assistant supervisor! The Easter Bunny found Sage on the farm. We even made it into town for a few drinks!

I can't wait for summer vacation and having more time with Sage! We already have weekly playdates lined up with our Amma friends! Now, if the weather would just cooperate!
