Found these goodies when I was downloading pictures from the camera to the computer. I think they were taken in June. I'm not positive. My camera saved it as August 2008. Clearly, I need to update the time and date on my camera....

Sawyer <3 Pictures
Sawyer loves to play with our phones, cameras, and computers. He really enjoys looking at himself in the camera picture. Here is our latest photo-op! :D

Where's your TV?
For a little over a year we did not have a TV on the ground floor. Yep. For seven of those months the TV wasn't even plugged in. Cr---aaaazy. I know. We do have a TV upstairs now. It's currently hidden in a TV cabinet. We don't want it or like it to be the focal point. We did miss watching movies. I missed working out using our Wii. It's not like we *don't* watch TV. We only get a whooping 2 stations neither of which are the big stations. In fact, most of you probably haven't even heard of them. We watch the few shows that we indulge in after Sawyer goes to bed. We do the same with movies. We have heaps of Disney movies, but I don't want Sawyer (or Annabelle) watching them--at least not yet. Wait? WHY?!
This article does a fantastic job of explaining why.
How to Raise a Low Media Child
PS--- Seriously, we were asked on numerous occasions when people visited our house, "Where's your TV."
Really? Is it that important? Has it become that much of a household staple that you can't live with out it?!
Here is our awesome TV hutch that Dean found on CraigsList!

Sorry, it's been so long since I've posted. Most of you I keep up with on Facebook anyway. I must admit, since Sawyer has truly become mobile, I noticed a serious decline in blog posts and they faded away all together after he started crawling on his hands and knees. Eeek. Sorry.
I'm writing this post to let you all know that I'm taking a 6 week hiatus from Facebook. I do hope to post on here at least once a week if not more. I do miss writing and this allows me to do far more of that. I feel like Facebook has become an attachment of my body. I'm not a fan of that and really would like to change. So, I'm deleting the app off my phone for the time being, and I've got a list of things I want to do that I should have been doing lately instead of eating my time up on Facebook.
* Start reading the news (seriously, I found out all of my news on Facebook=bad).
* Projects around the house.
~ We are in serious need of cleaning out and donating.
~ Pictures printed and hung
~ Play room
* Crafts
* Play with my camera (something I haven't really done since I've gotten my iPhone)
* Workout more frequently for longer periods
* and of course...blog more. :)
I'm aware that I have a hefty list of things I want to get done, but I'm hoping that giving Facebook up for six weeks is going to encourage me to use it even less when I do start using it again so I can continue with these goals.
Anywho, I just wanted to give you a heads up as to where I went, where you can still find pictures of my kiddos (if you want), and contact me (here, email, text, or phone call).
Hugs and Kisses from Norlina!
PS--I didn't forget----I don't have any new pictures, but that's ok. I'll get some up later this week! :)

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.

".'/÷æ..;.';'/mÇÇÇØIO20QX0ZL.
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!

Sawyer is proud to announce:
He now claims the titles of: God's child, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and BROTHER
He'll get to meet his little brother or sister face to face sometime around November 27th.
Do you think he's proud of this?
BTW---This picture is awesome. I'm fairly certain he just got really excited because he saw the camera OR he saw my parents' dog.
Hugs and Kisses from Norlina!!
