A Day in the Life of Saige and Tica

8 Months Old!

And here we go again! Yet another month has snuck up on us! I know that each month we talk about how fun Saige has become but this month we really mean it! She is FUN! Always smiling, laughing, grabbing everything, making silly noises, playing games and vying for attention. Our girl is a goof ball!

One thing we've enjoyed is watching Saige learn to become the center of attention. She insists that everyone notice her! She'll smile and coo until (of course) whomever it is comes over and comments on "those eyes" and how cute she is.

Saige is so close to crawling! But in the meantime she's got her own method of travel down where she pivots on her belly then rolls where she wants to go. In a split second we'll find her halfway across the room, usually following after Tica (the dog).

We've counted 5 teeth but they're coming in so fast that there's probably more we've missed. Each week we introduce a new food and she gobbles it up! She's still sleeping great at night and her naps are improving.

Kauai Vacation

We spent a glorious week in Hawaii! Saige LOVED it - she was nonstop smiles the entire trip. Meeting new people, wiggling her toes in the sand, watching the chickens..... she was in heaven! And the plane ride was a breeze - after both legs of the flight we were told by several people just how good she was. Made us proud.

This was taken from our hotel. There's a whale in this photo. I swear.

This chicken family lived on our patio. Saige woke the rooster up every morning.

In case you were wondering why Saige is such a big baby.

7 Months Old!

Wow, these months just keep flying by! Little Saige isn't so little anymore! She's probably weighing around 20 pounds now! In this last month she's gotten 2 teeth, has started eating a variety of foods, sits up unassisted, bangs her toys, babbles constantly and has some seriously stinky diapers! We are having a blast (minus the stinky diapers)!

Look close - you can see my 2 teeth!

And 3 weeks later...

We've got an eater! After just 3 weeks Saige is eating like a pro!

6 Months Old!

Saige is 6 months old today and we have many new firsts to report -

Just yesterday she got her first tooth! Her bottom left tooth just poked in without warning - she never fussed or anything! And today she ate her first food! She is now also sitting up, playing with toys and all around acting like a Big Girl! We are so proud of her.
