Sage at 20 pounds and 8 months!
I have been a slacker once again. Sage just turned 8 months old- two weeks ago. The ski season is pretty much over so I don’t have any excuses left. Catching up? Prepping for my trip to San Diego? A slew of auditions? Sure that’s all happening but I went back to writing in my journal and I get lazy duplicating my tales. But it’s time when the emails all roll in asking how we’re doing.
Babies are in the air this spring. My friend Mark Maziarz and his wife Mary Beth just popped out a little girl named Daisy (haven’t seen her in person yet but because Mark is a professional photographer he’s already got a website with photos of her. My old college roommate just announced she has twins due in May. A boy and a girl. Congrats, Sara!! (I always thought I wanted twins but then when decided I only wanted one child because I still want my life to resemble my life I was glad to hear I was only having my sweety Sage.) And my friend Kim is 15 weeks along. I’m hoping she’ll have a girl. She’s got a 2 year old boy that will have big issues learning to share mommy and daddy. A girl might ease things a bit. Two kids is just a scary proposition for me. I really only want Sage. Plus, I got off easy with her. No telling what it would be like a second time around- fat, complicated pregnancy, colic, Damian? I do wonder that since Ryan comes from a ridiculously enormous fam (a lot of that has to do with his parents divorcing and both remarrying into other large families), he may start to long for his own kid.
I’m mobile with one. Today we’re hanging in San Diego. My how a few months make all the difference. My parents were so excited (me too) to see Sage. It’s been about five months and she has sprouted the most adorable personality- smiles, squeals, mellowness, bright eyes and alertness. She sits unassisted, reaching for toys, holding her own bottle, eating baby food, rolling over, saying bababa, and playing peekaboo. My mom and dad are having so much fun with her. I got in Thursday and because of the rainy day, we just hung out around the house. Yesterday, I met Kim for breakfast then hung out in the afternoon before going for Chinese at a non-descript but tasty place in Carlsbad. The SD Zoo was on our radar today. Joey’s here too with Sarah (my niece). So while he was registering for the La Jolla Marathon, we checked out the Gorillas. Sage spent most of the day eyeing kneecaps from her stroller but one day she’ll appreciate the photobook of SD animals we’ll be signing to.
She’s finally asleep. We got home and though the poor thing was wasted, she was wired from all of the activity and the vibe resonating throughout my parent’s house. Joey, Sarah, Julie (my sister), my mom and dad. All present and socializing. Sage did not want to miss a moment. After dinner she played with Sarah’s Crayons and Julie took pictures of me and the baby. I was so grateful- I’ve been dying to get shots like these but I’m usually the one taking the pictures. You can see some of them at www.dropshots.com/pcskigal.
If the weather’s nice we’re going to the beach tomorrow. Both of Sage’s grandmas gave her these cute little swimsuits. Btw, we start a parent/tot swim class May 15 in Park City, after we get back from the Reno River Festival. I better get to sleep myself. I’m beat.
