He's growing so fast! Maybe someday he'll be a famous baseball player...

He's already the cutest baby ever!

A part of history...

This afternoon, I made the trek down to the arch grounds here in St. Louis to be a part of the rally for Barack Obama. During my speed-walking session from 11 blocks away, I marveled at just how many people there were! I thought to myself, "I've never seen so many people here in my life." Little did I know, I was part of a record-breaking crowd of over 100,000 people to attend the rally (the largest Barack Obama rally in U.S. history). The crowd was also the largest to assemble in St. Louis since the 1904 World's Fair.

We were all there to listen to Obama and show our support for his campaign. It was inspiring, uplifting, and yes, even made me cry. I was so moved by the crowd - so many people of every age, every color, and every background all there to rally together for change. It was amazing - truly powerful! Everyone was so peaceful, cheerful, and friendly. The crowd was electric!

Sage at 3 weeks

Sage has been going to the doctor weekly for weight checks. At the previous appointment, Sage had actually lost weight (from 6lbs. 11 oz. to 6 lbs. 5 oz.) and we decided to supplement breast feeding with formula. Apparently, mom isn't making enough milk just yet. So, after just five days of supplementing with formula, Sage has made a dramatic come back. He now weighs 7 lbs, 6 oz. He gained a whole pound in just five days!!! His feet are too big for the feet in his newborn clothes and he can't stretch out all the way anymore because his legs are too long. He will soon outgrow the newborn size diapers!

Life with baby is fantastic! Sage is spending more and more time awake (too bad it's not always during daylight). He enjoys playing, singing, being read to, and studying mommy and daddy's faces. He doesn't like getting his diaper changed or taking a bath (as you can see in the picture).
