Baby Boy...8 Months Old

This is a very late post, Sawyer is now almost nine months old and keeping us busy. Its so amazing all the new stuff he learns everyday. He is such a sweet and happy boy, can't believe just how lucky we are. Its getting harder and harder to get him to sit still...so much energy!



As a first time mom, I worry about a lot of things and I was worried when my little man did not like to eat solid foods...now he eats like a champ! Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, Pears, Apples, Peaches, Squash, Carrots and LOVES bananas....think they are his favorite. He eats three meals a day and still nurses, but not as often which is nice for me.


Sawyer celebrated his first Easter in April, we were bad parents and didn't even get him an Easter basket (next year I promise) so we created our own Easter photo-op...

Cousins...

We had a visit with Jenny, Jordan, Megan and baby Finn a while back. Jordan wanted to hold both the boys. Hoping they will all be great friends as they grow up together.

Busy Baby... 7 Months Old

Our little baby boy is growing way too fast! Rolling all around, scooting and ALMOST crawling. Can it be true? Not ready for this yet! Everyday this kid gets happier and happier, we feel so lucky to have such a happy, sweet boy...Mike can't wait until he can run around outside with him.


Time to eat...not sure yet about finger foods

Just goofing around...loves to spit...for now its cute!

Time with Daddy...

Grandma Tina!

Grandma Tina came down from Alaska for a visit a couple weeks back. Sawyer loved spending time with her...I think the feeling was mutual!

Sawyer 6 months...

Can't believe our little man is already 6 months old! At his most recent checkup, he weighed 16 lbs. 4 ozs. and was 27 inches long. Hes becoming more and more vocal and starting to have a bit of stranger anxiety. We are working on naptime in his bed...not going very well but we keep trying. He has started eating solids, didn't like carrots, sweet potatoes were OK, but LOVES bananas! So in love with this little guy!

5 months and counting...

Sawyer is sure "down to be alive" as our friend Zac has said. Such a happy little man!

At his 4 month (5 months old) checkup he weighed 14 lbs and was 25 3/4 inches tall. Growing like a weed.

Still enjoying his swing and loves to roll around and play with toys and mom and dad:



Loves to sit in bumbo chair and be part of the action...


Rolls onto tummy and looks all around...


Of course a baby's first year is full of new things here are some first in Sawyer's fifth month...

First taste of cereal...was not in love with it, but we keep trying...

First spoon...

First drinks of water from a sippy-cup...

First Taste of Carrots...not so great mom and dad...

First Christmas....

Sawyer had a great and very busy first Christmas! Mike's parents were in town from Anchorage so they got to spend lots of time with him and he also spent time with the rest of the family too...

Grandma and Grandpa and his Aunties...

Great Grandma June (MorMor)...

Cousin Lainey...
