Big Boy

Sawyer is growing and learning by leaps and bounds! He's been perfecting his army crawl that he figured out on his 7 month birthday. His 9 month birthday has him trying out a crawl on his hands and knees. He still doesn't have that one quite down yet, but he's getting better!

He has also been working on consonants. He loves to say mamamamamama, papapapapa, gagagaga, and some other various letter combinations. He's also a big fan of making noises with his mouth that I can't even attempt to make. Sawyer is trying to pull up on pretty much anything. He likes to pull up on us the most. He can use his crib to pull up, the rocking chair, or my recliner. He's also no longer afraid to climb over us.

Sawyer wanted to tell everyone hello. I'm not even sure how he made half those symbols. Sawyer loves the computer and our phones. He likes to see things go across the screen. He knows if he hits the keys on the computer something appears, and he knows if he moves his fingers across the phone, different things appear.

Sawyer loves to listen to Dean play the harmonica (and Dudly sing to the harmonica), french horn, and trumpet. He's obviously still infatuated with the piano, too. It makes loud noises when he hits it.
Speaking of hitting things, one of his favorite past times is to bang things together. Hard. Sometimes on Mama's head.

He absolutely adores playing with Dudly. He'll sit there and give him the toy and then take it from him. It's a modified version of tug o war. If our internet wasn't slower than molasses, I'd upload a video of him playing with Dudly.

He's started giving us kisses. He loves to kiss his mama, papa, and Bilbo. He doesn't really kiss Dudly that much, but boy, does he LOVE kissing Bilbo. Poor kitty.

Sawyer has also been waving bye bye and hello! It's adorable. We can't get him to do it all the time, but when we do...sigh.

His Nana came to visit last week. I think he really enjoyed the time with her! We got to go on several hikes/walks. It was a relaxing time. We also made soap. It was my first time. I'm SO excited to use it!! I have to wait until June....

This weekend Sawyer and I are headed up to a baby shower for my cousin Dorothy. So excited for her and her growing family!!!

Here are some pictures of my fav(s)!

 Eating one of his favorites, sweet potatoes!

 Loving on Bilbo!

 He doesn't like the flash....

 He DOES love when Bilbo sits on his lap.

 Out for a hike!

 Turkey

 BABY!!

 He is SO proud of his standing abilities.

 He crawls everywhere.

 Sitting handsomely.

 Soap!

For those of you not on facebook, Sawyer had his 9 month check up today. He weighs 18.1lb (12th percentile) and is 27.5in long (25th percentile)!! He's SO big.
Also, sorry for those of you on facebook, most of these pictures are repeats!

Hope you all have a fantastic Mother's Day!

Hugs and Kisses from Norlina!
