It's Mommy's Turn!

So all afternoon I'd been bugging Chris to post on his blog. I finally got tired of all the foot-dragging and decided to do it myself!

Sage was seven months old yesterday! He is quite mobile, even though he doesn't crawl yet. He pivots and rolls to get where he wants to go. No interest in solids yet, but he certainly isn't missing them. He weighs close to 22 pounds! And we're baffled at the absence of teeth, as of yet. He's been teething for 3 1/2 months!

Well, here are the cute pictures:

Squeaky Clean!

At Grandma's birthday dinner
Mommy and Daddy decided to pick cherries on an
UNBELIEVABLY hot day, so Sage is making sure
to stay well-hydrated.

Somebody LOVES his nekkid time!

Enjoying the interesting texture of
Grandma and Grandpa's Lawn


The following photographs were taken during an impromptu photo shoot. We were chillaxing at Grandma and Grandpa's and Daddy suddenly realized how cute Sage looked sitting naked on white sheets. Enjoy!










If that last photo doesn't make you want to have a nice warm boob full of milk and snuggle into bed, then you have our pity. Sweet dreams!

Passing 6 Months

Hello all you folks in internet land,

Sage recently passed 6 months of age. This kid is doing awesome. Here are some photographs!

He can now sit up on his own. And he smiles a lot. An awful lot.

He's got the concept of crawling down, but doesn't yet have the ability to move the hands and legs in a way that would cause him to do anything other than...

...flop over!

He really enjoys being in his high chair!

Really REALLY enjoys it!

He's so sweepy!

One of his favorite toys now is a wet washcloth.

We've started taking him for short swim lessons, although they're more like water familiarization classes at this point. He does look cute in his blue trunks.

He's got a lot to ponder.

Anyway, that was our son! meanwhile, Amy's brother Adam has just announced that he and Chivonne are getting married! The wedding is booked for September 9th at Bass Lake, and they have asked Amy and I to be the best man and maid of honor.

We've decided to rent a cool car to drive from the wedding to the reception (at Terry & Donna's place), and when I say cool, there is a couple close to Bass Lake that has a small fleet of old Model A & Model T Fords which they rent out, and we'll be renting a 1928 Model A Touring Car. Since I'll be the chauffeur (like I would let anyone else drive it), Amy, Sage and I took a ride up there yesterday. I got a few good pictures and a quick driving lesson. It was so strange and exciting to drive!

Anyway the owner and I have now made plans that when the busy summer season is over, we're going to get all the cars together and do a mass photo shoot of their fleet for their website and marketing matierals. This is so excitingly awesome.

1928 Ford Model A Touring Car - The 2nd oldest Model A known to exist in the United States...I got to drive it!

Well that's all for now. We've confirmed that we will be coming to Toronto for the August long weekend, so everyone gets to meet Sage!

See yuhs lay-ter
