Sawyer eats Cereal

A few days ago we let Sawyer try rice cereal for the first time and he LOVED it! he ate it right down! it gets pretty messy but he seems to really enjoy getting to eat some food- though i think he def. still prefers to nurse the best. he is also allowed to start eating some baby food now but we havent started that yet...dr w said to start with orange veggies when we start him on food. im going to make baby food for him though as much as possible- i read some not so great things about the store bought kind! i think we will do carrots first and then squash, maybe sweet potatoes...

here is sawyer eating cereal for the first time

things have been busy here with graduation, ect. This weekend we went to uncle marcus's grad party-what a great time! Sawyer was so happy the whole time and was a big hit with everyone there. zach epoxied our garage floor this weekend and it looks great! i cant park my jeep on it for 3 more days though!- thats the only bad part because it looks so so so much nicer now. we also got a blueberry bush and a raspberry bush for our yard this weekend! and more strawberry plants too! and i have been putting my clothesline to good use with these nice days!

here is Sawyer giggling!

"Soy Sauce" is good at Sushi

Well we have had a pretty busy week and weekend. friday night we went out to dinner and sawyer was so good! we brought along his bumbo seat and when the food came we let him sit in it in the middle of the table- he loved it! the waitresses thought he was so cute and the people at the other tables were impressed that he could sit so well- one grandpa type guy thought he was 9 months old because he was sitting up- guess they have never seen a bumbo before lol- he can only sit on his own for about 5 seconds. saturday we drove to iowa city to see anna and nate who were in iowa just for the weekend for nates brothers med school graduation.

Seeing aunt anna and uncle nate

With Aunt anna

Aunt anna hadnt gotten to see sawyer since he was three or four weeks old and uncle nate hadnt even met sawyer yet!we all went out and had some delicious sushi together- the bumbo was still in our jeep from the night before so we let sawyer sit in it on the table again..and he loved it again!

Then zach, marcus, sawyer and I had to go home because uncle marcus had to work and zach, sawyer and I had to get our pictures taken at church- sawyer LOVED the lady that took our pictures and he kept laughing at her. He looked really cute!

snoozing on the way home..using his binky which is rare for him

Oh and my new laptop came awhile ago, making it- as you may have noticed- so much faster to upload pictures!! I love it! so in honor of my new faster laptop here is a video of sawyer sort of laughing..its the best on i have gotten yet, he gets super distracted by the camera and wont laugh!

What a Wonderful World

Sawyer has been smiling more and more over the last month which has been so much fun. Im hoping the video upload works- it is Sawyer hiccuping and cooing at me when he woke up a few days ago after I got him dressed. All I was doing was telling him "hi" and "good morning" and he was loving it!
zach loves playing with Sawyer and trying to get him to grin. Sawyer has also really found his voice and greets me happily with a multitude of coos every morning- nothing could be better. ive also seen him roll onto his right side a few times all on his own and his neck is getting much stronger. he is changing and growing so much! zach is convinced he is going to be an early talker because he babbles to us so much already- he loves to be talked to and sang to. this morning he fell asleep as we danced and sang to the ipod- he fell asleep to john mayer and louie armstrong's "its a wonderful world" it was the sweetest thing until.... MY FRIENDS GOT A GIRLFRIEND AND HE HATES THAT- omygosh quick next song- i think its time to get those baby einstein cds loaded on there...




in other household news, the crazy window attacking cardinal from last spring is back at it again attacking our windows...maybe it will eat some of the billion asian beatles that are also attacking the sliding door to the deck..wouldnt that be nice :) also we got a roku netflix box which lets us watch the instant netflix right on our tv whenever we want and zach is pretty much in love with it- its pretty fabulous actually, and really easy to use- and there are some pretty decent movies and tv series on there for free- plus you can watch pretty much any movie or show off of amazon if you want to buy them- its fun, and free with our netflix which is so neat!


Im thinking the video worked! Enjoy!
