Taking photos and growing!

When Sage was 11 days old we had photos taken by photographer Kelsey Smith. Sage is a month old now and much bigger than he was in the professional photos! He weighs 10 and a half pounds now and spends more time "checking things out". He loves having company-- it entertains him and keeps him awake. When the house is quiet he sleeps a lot more. He is definitely aware of action around and he wants to be a part of it!
Amara has been attending her preschool 3 days a week and she really enjoys it. She enjoys playing with her friends and trying new activities. She has been an awesome big sister! She talks to and kisses brother Sage and she helps Mommy by running to get what is needed (i.e. a blanket or burp cloth). We are settling in to a rhythm here and time is starting go by quickly again as we get used to being a family of 4.

I am reviewing my last blog post and cannot believe (once again) how much the kids have grown in the past few months. Amara will be 5 in less than a month and Sage is 20 months. We have had many fun moments and life has been busy and simple at the same time. Thanksgiving Day conversation: Patty Ann: Who is your favorite princess? Amara (wearing a fancy princess dress): I am not really into princesses; I like kings and queens. Patty Ann: Ok, you are a queen, Amara Amara loves her preschool and talks a lot about her friends there. One neat thing they discuss at preschool is how to fill each others "buckets". If you say or do something nice it adds a drop of water to the person's bucket. And of course, the opposite could be true. I once heard her say "Don't be a bucket dipper". Amara is a wonderful problem solver and is always thinking of a solution to a problem or a work around. Mom and Dad end up changing our answer from no to yes sometimes when she pres...

Two months old!

Sage is 2 months old and we can't believe how fast he is growing. At his 2 month pediatrician appointment we learned that he is 25 inches long which puts him in the 99th% for height. Daddy, he may be looking you in the eye one day! It has been fun watching Sage become more interactive and expressive these past few weeks. He has been smiling more and showing an interest in playing close to his big sister. Sage received a cute turtle mirror for tummy time. It is his favorite possession so far. He smiles when he sees himself in the mirror and seems interested in the crinkly noise and dangling, colorful parts of it. Other than sleeping, eating, snuggling and hanging out Sage does a great job hiccupping and looking cute on camera. See the evidence below! And I must mention that Amara adores her brother and has been incredibly sweet, thoughtful and affectionate toward him. She sometimes offers suggestions, "Maybe he needs his pacy (pacifier)". She also runs to get Mom a blanke...

15 months / June 2018

Hello! We enjoyed the month of June and were fortunate to have Papa and Janny visiting for 3 weeks. They stayed in Del Mar and enjoyed beautiful ocean views and fresh air along with many bike rides, trips to the Farmer's Market and some fun and precious moments with the grand kids. Janny and Carol surprised Papa with an early birthday celebration for him with the California cousins (Paula, Leslie and Paul, Trish, Carol and Ed). Papa is 80 and lookin' great. In other news, Amara was home from preschool two days a week this summer. This enabled us to do a few extra fun outings and see some friends and family during the week. She loves seeing her Papa and Janny. Now let's talk about Sage. In June he went from a crawler early in the month to a full fledged walker. There is no going back. He loves his new skill and the freedom it brings. Both kids enjoy playing in the backyard with our water tables. Summer is in full swing!       ...
