Sawyer 1-2 months

At Sawyers 1 month appointment he weighed 8lbs, 6ozs, and was 21 3/4 inches long. At his 2 month appointment he was 10lbs, 10ozs and 22 inches long.

He is so active. He rolled from tummy to back at 5 weeks; at his 1 month check up no less. The doctor put him on his tummy and he rolled right over. He has a perfect round head but it is bigger than his body so he was a little bobblehead for a while but his neck has gotten much stronger. Sawyer is a mover; always fidgeting and squirming. It is amazing the changes that one month can bring. He is so happy and content. He knows his mommy and daddy and ADORES his sisters. He tracks them constantly and loves when they talk to him. He loves being naked or just in his diaper and really loves his bath time. He started smiling socially at about 6 1/2 weeks and hasn't stopped. He likes being in his swing but screams the moment I put him in his carseat and usually cries the whole time he is in the car. If he does happen to fall asleep in the car, the moment the car stops for any reason, he wakes up and starts where he left off. He has a temper and goes from 0 to 60. One minute he is happy and the next he is wailing like "why isn't there a bottle in my mouth??!!" He gets bright red in seconds and balls up his fists and he gets so mad that he starts sweating! lol. I'm sure it wont' be funny when is a toddler, but for now his temper is amusing. He was eating about 2-3ozs every 2 hours and about 10 weeks he starting sleeping a little more at night, but not much. He already fights sleep, but he loves to be swaddled at night.
He coos all the time. He makes eye contact and is very alert for his age. He loves when you talk to him and he talks right back. I've never seen a baby "sing" before, but when I sing to him he coos right along like he is singing. The song he likes most is Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. 
I am in LOVE with this baby, possibly obsessed;) He is the sweetest!!

Baby Shower

On September 6th, my mother in law and my friends Kami and Lea threw me (and Sawyer) a baby shower. 

My sweetness at his debut:
 Kami, me and Lea
 My mom was in town visiting and my sister was able to drive up for the shower. It was so nice to have them there.
 My mother-in-law, Kathy, loving on Sawyer. 
 The theme of the baby shower was a rain shower and turned out super cute. Silver pom pom clouds with glittery rain drops and blue and silver spray painted umbrellas. 


 Flowers in an umbrella on the door. 
 The food table. We had chicken salad croissants, fruit and vegetables, and cream cheese filled strawberries. 

 The cupcakes were made by a young woman in our ward who is a cupcake genius. The flavors were german chocolate and lemon blueberry. Both were amazing. 

 Megan (my sister in law) was sick and couldn't make it. I was sad she was sick and wasn't there, but very happy not to have to do any baby shower games. (She was in charge of games). 
 So we all just chatted and ate and then opened presents. 


 My best friend Jessica just moved to Alaska and she sent a surprise present for the shower. It was so sweet. 


I am so blessed to have such great friends and family to celebrate with.
