11 months and some odd years

 Yesterday, Saige turned 11 months old.  It was my birthday too, but I am significantly older than 11 months, or even 11 years! 
I sat her down to take some 11 month photos, and quickly found the task to be almost impossible.  She is a fast dude! 

 In the past couple of days, I have witnessed her letting go when standing up.  I don't imagine it will be very long at all before she takes off walking!  She also went visiting during mass yesterday, as Madison let her stand up on the floor, all the sudden, she dropped down and crawled under the pew and was sitting with a lady behind us.  This did not meet with her being a happy kid once she realized the error of her decision! 

 Saige is a happy baby and she stays happy no matter where we drag her to.  She enjoys crawling around on bleachers, and along the sides of football and soccer games.  She also enjoys band music and is very involved in 4-H! 
She still has 6 teeth and she uses them very wisely to defend herself against Harper attacks. 

 Although I had a little bit of trouble photographing Saige, Harper jumped right up and begged for me to take her photo.  Then we had the following conversation:

Me:  Harper, close your mouth when I take your picture.
Harper:  Like this?

 Me:  No, don't hold it closed with your hand, just close it. 
Harper:  Like this?

 Me:  Put your hands in your lap.
Harper:  Like this? 

 Yea, that will do it I think! 

 Preston had a flag football game yesterday.  Quincy though it was unfair that his game didn't get rained out too!  Preston had a great game, got several flag pulls, made a touchdown and ran one in for extra points.  He was excited that they won too!

 We entertained Saige at the game by giving her a sucker.  Whose brilliant idea was that? 

 I don't know if you can tell or not, but there was grass stuck in her stickiness!  I think she liked it though!  :)

This morning, Preston came out of the basement and announced that he had lost a tooth.  Quincy was immediately jealous, and proceeded to yank out her other front tooth, (which was loose, but not THAT loose) so he wouldn't have to be the only one getting paid by the tooth fairy tonight!  She bled like crazy, but it was totally worth it!  Preston's tooth is not in a noticeable place, but Quincy is starting to really look like a big kid missing all these teeth!
