Fall Break

My fall break has come to a close. :(. It was a great week of being a SAHM. I got to spend lots of time with my boys and just soaked in every second with Sawyer. It hurts my heart so much to know that for the majority of his first 2 years of life (at least) I only get to be with him for 4 hours a day.

But enough of the sad stuff. Here is a run down of the week. Glenn and I took Sawyer to Noah's Ark for the first time. He looked at everything but the animals! Lol! We all had fun though. We ran errands, went for walks, visited with friends, and just had a great week spending time together. Here are some pics from our week.

5 months (backtracking)

Even though Sawyer is currently 6 mos I realized I never did a 5 month post. 5 months was a big month for him so I wanted to recap some of the highlights.
Weight - 15lbs
Clothes - 3-6 mos
Diapers - 1/2

Our boy was busy this month! He learned to roll from his back to belly, and now prefers to sleep on his belly and play on his belly. It's so funny how once they learn to roll they suddenly like being on their belly! He also learned to sit up by himself. He is super proud of himself! He no longer likes to be reclined. He either wants to be sitting up or laying down so he can roll. He started eating veggies and fruits. So far he hasn't met a food he doesn't like. But so far his favorites are carrots, sweet potatoes, peaches, pears, and cereal. He LOVES his cereal! He is becoming more and more vocal everyday. He loves to babble, blow raspberries, and just holler. He has such a happy, sweet, silly personality. He grins huge grins all the time! We are truly blessed to be this little boy's mommy and daddy. He is amazing.

Some of his favorites:
- bear
- Brooklyn (he wants to grab her and watch her all the time, she cracks him up!)
- anything he can grab and put in his mouth
- music
- Itsy bitsy spider and the hokey pokey

Here is a pic of our little man at 5 months.

1st trip to the park

Today is Labor Day so Glenn and I both had the day off to spend together at home with Sawyer. Even though it was a rainy day we decided to head to the park this evening for a walk through the woodsy trail and a little playground time on the swings. Sawyer LOVES being outside and he was having a ball on our walk looking at all of the trees and just squealing and hollering to his little heart's content. He also really enjoyed the swings. He gets so excited with his whole body when he really likes something and his arms and legs were just flailing around and he was squealing and grinning away. It was a great day with my boys!

We have a sitter!

Sawyer started tripod sitting a couple of weeks ago. But by the end of last week he was sitting for real. He looks so proud of himself and definitely prefers sitting up to laying down these days. Such a big boy!

Happy boy!

Our little man is so happy 98% of the time. He's always smiling and has the silliest personality already. Love him!
