Photo Shoot

Hey Sageness!

Mommy just sent me your first solo photo shoot pictures. At least, I think it was your first solo one. In any case, you are cute!

Here's one:



How cute are you? YAY! You are now 4 months and a little bit.

Love, Auntie K

Dateline January 27: Finding the Thumb

Hey Sage,

I've just been informed that January 27, 2011 was the day you found your thumb for good and can retrieve it at will whenever you want. Very good news.

You also have 4 different types of pacifiers and don't care which one you get, you'll suck away at any of them.

You also drink milk from a bottle like a champ.

This is very different than the wailing little girl of only 4 short weeks ago who refused anything but the side of her hand (because she couldn't find the aforementioned thumb) or a human nipple.

Nice job, chickie. We like you even better now than we already did.

Love,

Auntie K

First Impressions

Hey Sage,

I met you a couple weekends ago. It was really an honor. Thanks for letting me be your Auntie K.

You are tiny and sweet and cute as anything. You have a perfect little baby body. Skinny just like your sister (and your parents for that matter). You are happiest when you first wake up. Wide awake and smiling away - what a morning treat!

You sit so happy in your little bouncy seat looking around at the people going by. You sing! When mommy or Sonia sing to you, you sing along too. It's so cute it makes me just want to bite you. :) And you talk a lot, telling stories. Love that.

Your head control is crazy. You love to be carried around with your head on someone's shoulder, but you won't put it down - you keep it up and look all around. Relax! You're only 3 months old. Plenty of time to have to use that neck.

You don't startle easily. If there's a loud noise or whatever, you start, but then you look around, assess quickly that nothing is killing you, and carry on. No tears for no reason from you! Hardy you will be, maybe? We love hardy people in our family! (We love the shy ones too, but we tend to be more on the boisterous side, so good if you can keep up with that!)

I won't see you again until June, at which point you'll be 8 months old. That's a little crazy, to not see you all that time, but it'll be okay. We'll do okay with it.

I love you, little girl. Welcome to the family and to being a niece. Can't wait to get to know you even better!

Love,

Auntie K

BUMBO!

Hey Sage!

Here you are in your bumbo. You have amazing head control for a baby not quite 11 weeks old. Good job!



Love,

Auntie K

Merry Christmas!


Hey Sage,

Merry Christmas! It's your first one! You won't remember much, but we'll all remember it for you! Your Nana and Papa and Uncle S are all coming to spend it with you. I'm sure you'll look super cute in whatever dress Mommy puts you in.

My wishes for you this Christmas are these:

- that you grow up healthy and happy.
- that you and your sister have a wonderful relationship and love each other even through the fighting, which is inevitable!
- that you learn that screaming every night is no fun for anyone.
- that you know how much your Mommy and Daddy love you.
- that you know how much the rest of us love you - A LOT!

I'll miss you this Christmas - I'm going off on a vacation to Puerto Rico with 4 of my friends (someday you'll be jealous that I did that or you'll do it yourself!). I'm coming to see you in January though, in only a few more weeks. I'm really looking forward to meeting you.

Much love, Sageness.

Those Eyes!


Hey Sage,

Your eyes are enormous. They are so cute!

You will be 8 weeks old tomorrow! Congrats. Doing well.

Now if you can just stop screaming for a few minutes, that'd be awesome.

You did finally learn to take a bottle yesterday, though. That's great news!

More later, lovie!

Love,

Auntie K
