Sage is 9 months and it is 2018!

Hello again. Life is so full these days that I am barely keeping up with blog reports. It is late January and Sage's 9th month is almost complete. In a few days he will be 10 (double digits!!!) months. Wow. He continues to grow and stay very busy. Sage now has 6 teeth, enjoys pureed food, and crawls very competently. He loves his newfound mobility and enjoys exploring the house. His favorite spots include: Amara's room (where he opens and closes her doll house garage door, plays with the knobs on her play stove and daydreams about knocking over Vampirina's castle), the backyard and porch (he LOVES the outdoors), and anywhere where he can watch kids play around him. He recently started signing. He waved "bye" at Mom the other day through the window and he points at objects outside that he likes.
Our year is off to a good and busy start. Amara is loving her preschool and is quite bonded with her teacher, Ms. Theresa and the other kids in her class. They sing songs, practice writing, do art, play and play and play, and learn about many topics (seasons, holidays, alphabet sounds). We are so proud of Amara's helpful behavior with her brother and her positive attitude about life. She is truly fun to be around and has a great imagination.

Fall 2018

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!       ...
