Sawyer is 7 months old!

I don't know what it is about 7 months, but it seems so much older to me! Doesnt he look like such a big boy?!

I know I said this last month... but this is totally my favorite age so far! He is so funny, and has so much personality! He is totally going to give us a run for our money once he can move freely on his own. Justin and I are both pretty stubborn and strong willed, and Sawyer totally inherited that from both of us. Plus he's a wild man. Moms of boys... please someone tell me this is normal and that I don't have a crazy child. He is constantly going. Cannot sit still. Doesn't stop talking. Go go go. But I love it, it's so much fun.

Sawyer has two teeth now! His two middle bottom teeth are here, and we have named them. The first is Leroy, the second is Lebron Paul, dont ask me why.

Eating solids has been quite the roller coaster. Sawyer loved baby food when we first introduced it. But now that I am starting to introduce him to real "human foods" he is totally not interested in the baby food anymore. He would much rather have what is on my plate and sometimes even refuses the baby food I try to give him. He will close his mouth and turn his head away from me... remember what I said about strong willed?! But he is doing well with the big boy foods!

He is starting to try to give kisses. It melts my heart. I mean, it basically is just him slobbering and snotting all over your face, but still. I can hardly handle it!

Sawyer is such a Daddy's boy! Man oh man does he love his daddy!! When Justin walks into the room you cannot get Sawyer to pay attention to you for anything. He only has eyes for dad until Justin comes over and gives him some attention.

He not only is a completely independent sitter now, but he also is starting to pull himself up on things and stand against things! When did he get so big!? He hasnt really figured out how to go anywhere once hes standing though. He just leans one way or the other and usually falls over. Haha

We also made some big changes in the sleep department! Sawyer has been rolling in his sleep and starting to sleep on his tummy! So we had to get rid of our beloved sleep sack swaddles, and move to the plain sleep sack. The first couple of nights were hard but we are back to sleeping through the night! We also introduced a lovey! It's a little Taggies lion blanket and Sawyer loves to lay there in the morning and play with the tags. It buys us a little extra time in the morning, which is just what we wanted! ;)

I just can't believe that he is already 7 months old! I am so excited to be almost out of school and get to spend every day with him, just soaking him up! We sure do love our little Soy Bean!

Studying himself in the front facing camera! Hahaha

Six Months

I am officially posting this on Sawyer's 6 month birthday. And I cant even believe it. I keep looking at things that say 6 months and thinking, "Oh, when we get there..." But no... we're there! He's 6 months old! It's so crazy to me! It seems like it's gone by so quickly, and yet it feels like I've been his mom forever, like I don't remember my life before him.

This has been my favorite age so far. He is so funny and has so much personality. He cracks me up everyday. He is really coming into his little self and I love it. He talks so much. He sits there and jabbers on and tells me all types of stories. He also thinks I'm hilarious. Which I enjoy.

He is getting big enough that he can sit on my hip now. He sometimes enjoys this... if I am walking around, but he is just such a wiggle worm, if I'm just standing there he will try to squirm out of my arms. He also likes to fling himself backwards to hang upside down. Or lean completely forward to see around me. Like I said... wiggle worm.

Sawyer went on his first airplane ride! He did a great job! We found out he had an ear infection and RSV again the night before we left to go to Reno. And for a baby working on cutting a tooth and suffering from an ear infection, he was about as perfect as you can imagine!

Speaking of the tooth! It's here! When we were on our way back from Reno he finally broke through. We went up into the air without a tooth, and came down with one! I tried so hard to get a picture of the little guy... but Sawyer is pretty protective of him and wont let us get a good look.

His eyes might be changing a little. Somedays they are starting to look a little bit green right around the pupil, but somedays they still look completely blue to me. His strawberry birthmark on the back of his neck is still completely there.

Sawyer is still solidly in 3-6 month clothes. A few of the pants are starting to get a little bit short, but other than that, I don't see us growing out of them too soon.

Sawyer is such a good little eater. He wants to eat everything that he sees us eating, but we've limited him too peas, green beans, squash, and carrots. Peas are his least favorite, but he loves everything else! We have to time it so we can take his bath right when he finishes eating, because it gets EVERYWHERE! He tries to feed himself, which is just adorable. But it's quite messy.

He is such a smiley little guy. He is always smiling at strangers and making friends everywhere we go. He also is a little ham! Once the camera comes out he turns it on! Especially if he can see himself in the front facing camera! 

Happy 6 month birthday little Soy Bean! We love you so much!
