As of today, Sage:
1. loves Dora the Explorer, Nemo, Blue from Blue's Clues, and most of all, Winnie-the-Pooh.
2. has apparently decided to live on a diet of French fries, Coke, boiled eggs, milkshakes, and yogurt. Takes after equally unhealthy parents.
3. adores swimming, bathing, watching fountains, and generally anything to do with running water. Obviously not a witch.
4. dotes on her Sylvanian Families dollhouse, populated by 4 fuzzy toy animals: Daddy Bunny, Mommy Bunny, Sagey Bunny, and Uncle Vinnie the doggie.
5. squeals in delight over her real-life bunnies, Cocoa and Sugar.
6. is a little chatterbox! (More on this to follow.)


Sage words
I'd estimate that Sage knows over 50 words by now. Among her favorite expressions are "shark" (used when gleefully scaring her parents), "super-yummy" (in reference to the aforementioned French fries, milkshakes, etc.) and "Akin pillow!" (used when 'punishing' her parents for not doing what she wants-- by swiping our pillows!). Also, "Help me!" is often utilized in combination with a plaintive expression when her nanny is carrying her off to bed against her will.
