Various sweet baby pictures

Here are a few more pictures just to show interested parties what Sage has been up to recently.

She loves reading her favorite book, Usborne Touchy Feely Puppies!


She also thinks her newfound skill of walking (while holding mommy's hands) is fantastic! Mommy agrees. :-)


And Swinging is perhaps the most fun activity around. I didn't get a huge grin in this picture, but she often squeals with delight as she swings back and forth and mommy gets her feet!!

Sage and I went to a protest on Saturday at Applebees. Local folks may have heard about it. Applebees told a breastfeeding mom she had to either cover up or get out, and it sparked lots of controversy. We had fun at the protest, and we got a pretty good response, judging from all the honking and thumbs up signs from passers-by. It felt really good to get involved! It was pretty hot, but sage did just fine. She just snuggled down in the sling and took a nap. :-)

A few more...

So I just can't help it, I have to post some more of unkie Erik's pics. :-)

Off to Minnesota (For those who don't know, this is the title of a tune written by grandaddy Al)

We took a family trip to Minnesota last week to visit Aren's Family. Sage got reacquainted with her Grandma Jan, Grandpa Darrell and Uncle Erik, as well as lots of other wonderful family members. Thank you so much to the family for the yummy food, comfy beds, and wonderful company! Sage especially loved playing with Uncle Erik! Over all, it was a very fun trip, and Sage did incredibly well with all the traveling, new places and new people!! All the same, we have decided that is enough traveling for us for a while! The air travel was fairly stressful for mommy and daddy, especially when we missed our first flight, and were delayed in Chicago for what seemed like forever!!! Mommy forgot to bring the memory card for the camera, but thankfully uncle Erik took over 500 pictures in the 5 days we were with him!! here are some highlights from his copious collection.

Budding Pianist

Sage loves to play piano with Daddy. It's so sweet!!

Little miss rugged

Sage went camping this weekend with her mommy, daddy, grandma Alice, granddaddy Al, aunt Rachael and aunt Emma. She had lots of fun, though maybe fewer naps than usual. Here, she was taking a little bottom-half bath in the dish tub. :-)


Keeping warm in Mommy's jacket!

Sage Had a fun time playing in the water today! I learned very quickly that it was important to hold her hand all the time (after the first shot). The tub is very slippery when full of water!
