Still Alive and Kicking!

It has been over a month since I have posted anything! Mostly I haven't had a lot of time and I couldn't find the cord to connect my camera to the computer! Can you believe that it is almost 10:00 am and Sage is still sleeping?!! She has had two nights of sleeping for about 6 hour stretches it has been great! I can only hope that it will continue and our nights will get better! She has had a couple of colds so far this season which has been no fun. It drives my crazy to see her with a snotty nose! My funny niece Chelsea gave me some advice to always wipe my kids snotty noses...so I make sure I keep her snot free! Thanks Chels! Any way here are some pic's of Thanksgiving at the Simons' house. I hope everyone is doing good! Happy Holidays!

The girls!

I need your blog address!

I think that I erased everyones blog address! I am such a dork. If you could will you please let me know what it is again so I can put it back on here! Thanks a ton!

Just a few questions.....for anyone!

So, here is what I want to know.
First, if your baby will not lay down to take a nap at the "scheduled" time and then she finally falls asleep at 6 at night...do you let her keep sleeping or do you wake her up so you can put her to bed at the "normal" hour? (is anything really scheduled or normal with a baby?)
Second, is feeding rice cereal hard for anyone else? She seems to hate it! She just cries when I try to feed her. What do I do? Do I hold off until she is a little older or is this just what it takes for her to learn how to eat solids?
Third, how do you get cute templates? I don't get it.....

I know, I know. It has been forever since I posted anything! It seems like we have been super busy lately and super exhausted! Here is what we have been up to lately....

We took a trip to Knoxville, TN to visit my sister Julie and her family. It was so great to spend time with her! We had a lot of fun checking out Knoxville and just hanging out. It is so beautiful there! Thanks Stoner's for a wonderful trip!

We have gotten Sage a new high chair and jumparoo! (Thanks for the idea Rach!) Sage hasn't figured out how to bounce yet but she is having fun playing with the toys and drooling all over it! I love the high chair I just push it around the house where ever I go and she loves it! Hopefully it will serve its purpose soon when she is actually interested in eating her rice cereal. So far when I put a spoon to her mouth she looks at me funny and starts to cry. Any advice other mom's out there?

For Halloween Sage was a Chicken. By the looks she was giving me she wasn't to thrilled to be in it but she lasted long enough to get a few cute pic's. Here's my little chick! I love how she is looking at the scarcrow, I feel like she is saying, "Who the heck are you?"

Bed head!

I love how Sage looks in the morning! Her hair is getting so long on top it creates quiet the little mo hawk!

Giggles!

Sage has been giggling a lot more lately. It is so much fun! Watch this video of her giggling before bath time!

Just Hanging Out!

Wow! It is has been a while since I updated my blog! I finally got the camera out and snapped a few pictures of Sage who is now 16 weeks old. She has been so much fun lately with her smiles and giggles.

I decided it was time to try some new toys out with Sage. She is not too sure about her little gym but it does earn me a few extra minutes to myself!

Sage has also learned that by arching her back in her car seat she can wiggle her way (almost) out of it! It is fun for her but can be a struggle for me while trying to buckle her in.

Last weekend Sage went on her first hunting trip. Scott, me, and Sage loaded up the car Friday and headed for Wyoming where we went Antelope hunting. It's always a fun adventure staying in random motels in the middle of nowhere! As you can image Sage's Daddy was very excited to have his girls along for the hunt.
