4 month appointment: 16 lbs. (92%) 25.5 in. long (90%)

"Just learning the basics (or so I assume?)"

"Seriously? My foot is freezing and you run to get the camera?"

"This is number 3 of 3 on my white list of people who can hold me without making me cry. I do love my Sheila..."

These Pointy Things are Completely Unsatisfying....

Growing Girl

Ross and I have to laugh at the days when our little girl "had trouble gaining weight". It was only three months ago that we had to take her to the doctor on a daily basis to get weighed and to make sure that she was gaining weight. As you can see, that is no longer a problem for Sage. She seems to be eating just fine! She has been in six month clothes for a couple of weeks already and she has even outgrown a couple of those as well. She's a bicep workout if you're not used to carting her around all day~just ask Brian! Some of her "firsts" lately include sucking her thumb, rolling over (only for Mom), and belly laughing. Sage is also cutting her first tooth, which explains her restless nights. She gets more fun every day!
