HAPPY 1 MONTH SAGE!!!

December 13th- Sage is now one month old! We can't believe how fast the month went by. Guess it doesn't help that we are also busy with the holiday season. Sage has been such a wonderful addition to our family. We feel so honored to be her parents.


Sage loves to smile and seems to focus on objects now. She is always looking around and is very interested in the pictures on the walls and the ceiling fans in the rooms. We think that she also might notice the dogs but not sure. And sometimes we find her sucking on her thumb. She was weighed recently at 10lbs 8oz. She is a big and healthy baby :)

In deep thought!

Looking up at the ceiling fan like usual

Doing her leg kicks

We recently got out her mat and toys to see how she would like them. She wasn't the only one! Kaya has been very interested in Sage and now wants to play with her. We have to always tell her to stop giving her kisses! They are probably going to be best buddies.

Sage has a very strong neck and this picture shows her lifting her head while on her tummy. It only happened once and was lucky to capture the moment...

49er Game in Fairfield

James had one last weekend off for the year a few weekends ago. We made the most of it and took a trip to Fairfield to watch the 49er game and hang out with the family. Here are some really good pics of the days events...

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

A few weekends ago (Dec. 5th) was Melissa's Dad's birthday. The weather wasn't too bad so we had a BBQ for him over at our house. James cooked some delicious chicken and sausage. It was a great time spending with family and eating yummy food. We feel very lucky that we are able have family get togethers often. Happy Birthday Grandpa Wittsell!!!

Here is Sage giving her Grandpa a big birthday hug! She also gave him a great gift- a picture of the two of them together.

Singing "happy birthday" and blowing out the candles.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year for Thanksgiving we spent the early part of the day in Fairfield so Sage could meet her Great Grandma Rosalie. James had to work at 2am!!! the next day, black friday, so we had to get home early so he could get some sleep. We had a very nice and quiet time spending the day with John, Gail, and Rosalie. John made dinner which, like always, was the most delicious :) In the first picture Sage has on her Thanksgiving outfit which did not last very long. It was the first time she had an explosion that came out of her diaper. Oh well, at least we were able to snap a few photos before it happened.

Rosalie held Sage sleeping for over an hour! She enjoyed every moment with her and did not want to let her go. We kept asking just in case her arms were gettting tired, but nope, she refused to give up such a special time with her.

Sage was so very comfortable

Finally!!! Grandma Gail spent some time with Sage

Cousin Donovan Comes to Visit

The first week we were home from the hospital, Sage's cousin Donovan came over for a special visit. The day was filled with some crying, eating, and stinky diaper changes :) Donovan and Sage are only 5 1/2 months apart. They are going to grow up together and be the best of friends. We captured some really great pictures of them...

Are you trying to kiss me or eat me!!! (I am going with kiss, of course!)
