The Smith Family: Sage turns 14 months old! (April 24, 2010)

On Saturday, April 24, Sage turned 14 months old! My how things have changed in just one month...Sage continues to wave and clap and even says "buh"...which is "bye". Whenever she hears me saying bye on the phone, she loves to say "buh". Sage LOVES trees, grass, flowers and just being outdoors. There are a few trees she can see outside her window and every morning or after her nap, she stands in her crib and points at the window. She wants us to open the blinds so she can look at "her" trees. It is one of the highlights of her day when she can see her trees! Whenever we get out of the car and a tree is near, she says "Ohhhh" and points at the trees. We can keep her amused and busy with just looking at trees.

Sage LOVES bubbles and we like to go outside and blow bubbles. Of course, while we are out, she always spots a tree or two, loves to pick grass blades and last time, we spotted some beautiful green dragonflies. She was so excited about the dragonflies!

Sage loves music and loves to dance. She is shaking her hips and twists her torso when she hears music. Sage also loves Elmo and smiles so big when we watch Sesame Street. Sage is walking a lot more, with our help holding her fingers, and we just know she is going to take off running one day soon. Sage still loves books more than toys and she loves our library visits every Tuesday. We go to story-time and then sit and read 3 -4 books. In the children's section there are gorgeous carousel horses on the bookcases and Sage loves looking at these horses. Sage is babbling...a lot and sometimes we can figure out what she is trying to tell us....others time not so much! Sage does seem to be going through a shy phase and is a little cautious of other babies, sometimes she seems a little frightened of them especially if they are walking or bigger than she. We are sure this is very normal and she will grow out of it.

Sage has transitioned from her bottle to a sippy cup. This took about 3-4 weeks for her to get the hang of the cup but now she's an old pro.

Sage continues to be a sweet little baby girl....so calm and good-natured. It is still easy to go on outings with her. My guess is when she starts walking, she might get a little more antsy. We are having the time of our lives as our little angel continues to learn new things (almost daily) and grow!

Sage...14 months!
