Eleven Months

Eleven months old and counting! We are trying to enjoy each moment we have with Sage at this age! She is SOOO much fun. Each night we get sad that we have to say goodnight because we want her to stay up and play with us! (Who are the parents?!)

Sage is a busy little girl who is really starting to understand her little world!

• She can now grab the remote, press buttons and look up at the TV to see what is happening. I’m not joking!! Brad and I have seen her do this several times and we just can’t believe how smart she is to know that!
• She is walking more and more- still a little uneasy with her balance and steps, but she sure is practicing a lot!
• Her favorite is to jump on the couch. She loves to bounce off the cushion pillows and roll around. That has become part of our nightly routine somehow; a habit we’ll probably need to break!
• She loves to play Peek-a-Boo with us. Her way of playing Peek-a-Boo is to turn her head and then swing it forward to show us her face. We have to yell Peek-a-Boo with her to get her to giggle and continue with the game.
• She is eating bananas that I cut into pieces for her. We have tried avocado and squash- not a fan of either. She can tolerate eating broccoli for a few bites. I’m going to try other foods like peaches, bread, grapes, steamed carrots in the next week. We’ve been a little shy about giving her solid foods as she still has no teeth!!
• She has learned to High-Five!
• She loves to share. She'll give you what she is playing with, but the change her mind after a second of you having her gift. At least we are learning this concept :)
• We are still practicing our sign language. We are learning how to sign for Eat; Water; Milk; More; Mama; Dada; Bath-time. We’ll work on more once she gets the hang of these few signs. And no, she hasn’t signed any back to us yet…but it will be so cool the day she does!!
• She likes to read books- her way of reading is just to turn as many pages as she can, and do it all over again- at least it’s a start :)

An update on her rash: We were able to get into a dermatologist on Monday, but of course, her rash was completely gone with the help of using steroid cream/ointment. The doctor thinks that it may have been a viral infection that manifested itself into a rash. But, good news is, if/when this rash appears, he’ll get us in right away and we’ll take a biopsy of it to determine what it may be. Hopefully, it won’t happen again- fingers crossed!

Happy 11 months baby girl!
