Flips

In case you haven't heard yet, Sawyer is rolling in BOTH directions. It's not too often, and it's not his favorite thing. BUT he's done it.

Sawyer's favorite things:

Dudly, Biblo, being held, his train, his music box, chewing on his beaver, blocks, train, music box, maracas, or as my friend Emily (Sawyer's BFF's mom) said---I think if there was a rhino in front of him he'd eat it, PLUS skype and facetime (mostly because he tries to eat the phone). He also obviously enjoys sleeping and eating.

I've tried posting the video of him rolling over. It'll have to wait until I actually make a trip into the library. For now, my computer (and the internet) hate me. Sorry!


I've ordered some baby legs for Sawyer that we should be getting this week. Perfect timing, too. It's COLD!! :)



Also, ye who do cloth. What do you think about wool? What's your favorite fitted diaper? Sawyer is a heavy wetter. What we have is working 95% of the time for now (bella fitteds and kawaii covers---- we had charcoal bamboo, that didn't work at ALL), but I have a feeling when he gets older, it won't work as well. Let me know!

Sorry no pictures, I'll include double next time! :)

She's here!!!!

Sawyer's girlfriend greeted the world this morning at 10:12! I'm SO happy/excited/stoked/etc for my friends Beth and Michael. I especially can't wait for our kiddos to meet. HOPEFULLY they'll be able to meet VIA Facetime sometime in the very near future, and if we make it home this summer, they'll be able to meet in person.

Here's a picture of her. Isn't Olivia Grace beautiful?! Sawyer thinks so, too. I showed him the picture and he tried to eat my phone. I'm pretty sure that means he thinks she's pretty. She weighs in at 7lb 5oz and is 19 3/4in

I am thrilled our kiddos are about the same age. Now it's her turn to send me random pictures of her baby girl a few times a week! Don't worry, Beth, I won't stop sending pictures of Sawyer. You'll probably be getting pictures when he's 25 (side note- when's he's 25, I'll be 50. EW.). Haha. JK. :)

Accomplishments:

Several accomplishments have happened this past week:

1. Rolling from stomach to back (I'll post a video on here when the internet is not being dumb---it's on facebook if you have an account).

2. Talking---- Sawyer's been talking, but this week the style of his talking changed...PLUS he got louder and talks more frequently. Ask anyone in church this past Sunday.

3. NO binky! Sort of. He doesn't use it at home unless he's in the pack n play or the crib. It's the first step in eliminating his pacifier. I'm terrified of getting rid of it at night. At least I have a few months before I do that.......

4. SLEEP! He was already a good sleeper. That wasn't an issue. What was an issue? Getting him to nap in the crib or pack n play. His preference? On any one that holds him. Second best? The swing. However, I needed to start getting work done, and while I thoroughly enjoy a wonderful cuddle, it's not exactly productive and I don't want him doing it when he is two. Now that he's semi-mobile I don't really trust the swing. When I say semi-mobile, I mean he can roll but he WIGGLES. Again, ask anyone who sits behind me in church. Anywho, since we don't use the pacifier UNLESS he's in his crib or pack n play, he takes naps in there! Yay!!!!

I know. He's stellar. And Adorable. And Lovable.

You get the picture! :)

Currently, he's poopy! I'm going to go change a cute diaper butt! :)

Christmas

I didn't take the majority of these pictures.

Jessica took the ones of Sawyer in NC at the beginning of December.

Bek/Meaghan took the ones at the end of November and the end of December.

We had a safe, fun trip home. It was short. Those of you I didn't get to see this time, I hope I can see you next time we're in town! :)

 Sawyer wasn't very happy at this point....

 He's adorable.

 Lucy LOVES Sawyer

 Sawyer loves Shawn (and especially the wad of hair on his chin.....)

 Sawyer pretty much just likes hair.

 He also loves going for walks.

 Granddaddy with some of his favs.

 Goofing off.

 He LOVES giving kisses.

 Christmas day

 Dudly loves to lay on anything that smells like Mom or Dad. This is Dad's shirt.

 He also wanted to kill it. Makes sense? Me either...

 Psychotic Cat.

 Bubbles (a present from my MOMMY) and SNOW!

 Dudly knew the stockings dealio. He had to explore his treats. The bear Dean is holding was dead by noon.

 and wait patiently....

 Bilbo wasn't too sure....

 aand didn't really care...

 until Dean opened his.

 Two of my ABSOLUTE favorite people.

Lauren and I have known each other over 10 years. We're a little different, but that's what makes us work! :)

 Dean stole me computer. This is what happens when he plays and doesn't delete....

 SOOOO happy!

 BFF

 Not sure what's up with the flippy doo thing of my hair.

 He is becoming QUITE the wiggle worm. Love!

 This is what was on my arm as I'm trying to download pictures and type. Obviously I didn't write much......
Why didn't I move him? Have you ever tried to move him? If you have, you know what I mean! Unless I'm getting up out of my (his) chair, I don't bother him!!
