Growing and Smiling

The shirt speaks for itself.

Yet, so serious sometimes.

Growing so much! She is almost 13.5 pounds now!

If you ever need a hug or a smile come see Saige!

Merry Christmas!

It is almost here! Saige is very excited for her first Christmas!

Saige's First Santa Picture!

This time with cousin, Aidan. They loved it. Check out that reindeer!

Mommy and Daddy's favorite present this year, sleeping under the Christmas tree!

Chilling with some stockings.
Saige has been so good, Santa will probably fill all the stockings for her!

Until Christmas arrives, we'll be dreaming about all the fun and excitement that is yet to come!

Happy Holidays!

A Lot to be Thankful For

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We were definately thankful for our family, especially the new addition, Saige!

Saige was baptized on November 29 at St. Bede's in Kelly. Here are some pictures to show you what we have been up to!

So happy to be a Child of God!

Goodbye October, Hello November

Happy Halloween!

Saige had three costumes to wear and a different personality for each one!

Check out that bib!

Playing up this outfit, the onesie says 'This IS my costume'

Daddy spoiled Saige with a Chiefs cheer leading outfit, she was very excited!

She knows she's beautiful!

This is her third outfit, unfortunately the one she wore the most. Saige's bilirubin level (jaundice) was not dropping fast enough, so we got a bili-blanket that helped the levels go down.

We called this her Glow-Worm costume.

The full effect of the Glow-Worm costume. She wore the blanket for 24 hours. Here you can see the machine that produces the light, it is kind of like a projector. Luckily, the machine nor the light really bothered Saige, so she slept peacefully!

Strolling into November!

We took Saige on her first walk, during the 70 degree weather at the beginning of November!

Cruising down the streets of Eudora with Mommy

Daddy's turn to push!


We made it home safely and Saige enjoyed the walk.

Be sure to check in with us again soon, Saige is very excited for Thanksgiving!

Tim was very happy about this gift from his sister, Amy. I'm sure the baby is going to love it as well!

We had a small get-together in Eudora for some of our college friends. Grandma Connie and Grandma Liz made this cool diaper cake for decorations.

Look at all the fun toys!

Tim and I are very excited and ready for the baby. Most of the preparations are done, just a few more weeks of waiting!
