Stand up!

First off, can I just have a moment? My baby boy turns ONE next month. One year old. And he's already so much not a baby anymore. Of course he's my baby. When I rock him to sleep, and he curls up close to me. But when he's shoveling food on his mouth, pulling up on everything, and crawling like a mad man...more and more toddler showing through.

But over the last month his biggest accomplishment has been standing. He is now confident enough to pull up on anything and everything. Then look over his shoulder to grin at me - so proud of himself. And slowly starting to cruise. And attempt to climb. Yea, you read that right, climb. Because he is my child after all. Saturday morning he dumped his toy basket off the second shelf of cubes in his room, then tried to climb into the cube. As in nothing is safe. He will figure out climbing. I know he will. I just hope he figures out walking first. I think.

Let the adventures begin!!

October!

I can't believe that it has been 4 months since my last post!  Time has been flying by, though that is no good excuse for not keeping this blog updated.  Sawyer has grown so much in the last few months, and has really become an infant instead of a newborn baby.  He is still laid back and easy going, full of smiles and laughs.

A recap of all that's new:

He is rolling over from stomach to back and back to stomach with no problem.  He can roll the length of a room if he gets going!  h

He is trying to crawl, he can lift up on his knees and hands for a little bit.  He can army crawl some too.

He started eating food!  Right now just fruits, some veggies, and cereal.  Sawyer still doesn't know what to think of it, but he likes it for the most part.

We have TWO teeth!  One came in last week, the other broke through today.  Which means he has been a little on the fussy side.

Growing, growing, growing!  It's hard to believe he is 15 lbs 1 oz and 26 1/2 inches long!  He started out so tiny (4 lbs 7 oz!).

Mr. Personality!  He can cut looks, and make the best facial expressions.  It is so fun to see him take on his own personality.

Sleeping in his crib - Sawyer is still not sleeping through the night, but he is sleeping in his crib!  Feels like such a success.  While it was great having him in with us, we are all sleeping better now that he is in his own room.  :)

Working on sitting, not quite there yet.  But he LOVES to stand.  He wants you to hold him in a standing position all day.

Still the most beautiful baby boy I've ever seen. Granted I'm a little bias, but Sawyer gets more compliments when we're out and about then I can count.
