Days of Sawyer's Life 9/18-11/05/2008

So, like most babies, our Peanut just keeps on-a-growin'! At his 6 Month check-up, he weighed in at a healthy 18lbs 6.5oz. and was 27" tall. That was 2 weeks ago and I swear he's gained a couple more pounds and grown another inch or two!


He's also gotten TWO teeth :-} I think they are the cutest little things!


Unfortunately, I think Sawyer may have my hair... I was really hoping he would be blessed with Jon's hair! We'll really be able to tell once it grows in more, but for now it is looking very straight, fine and thin.

While Sawyer's teeth were coming in, there was very little sleep in our home. He was up every hour and his Mommy was very, VERY crabby! This started a pattern of him waking up all through the night... As soon as he turned 6 Months old we started to let him cry-it-out. The first couple of nights when he woke up he would cry for about an hour (I know, that sounds horrible, and it was!). Just when I was about to give in and get him, he went back to sleep. By the third night, he was sleeping through, or at least putting himself back to sleep. The pattern hasn't stuck and I'm still up some nights, but it has gotten SO much better :-}


Daily Sawyer is making new faces and sounds. This is his patient face.


Here we have the beginning of Fishy Face! I haven't caught him in full Fish Face yet, but I will soon.


Sawyer had his very first food on Nov. 1st. We gave him Squash and after a couple of unsure faces, he ate it all up!





He rolls all over the place and is sitting up unassisted now. I'm sure that crawling will follow soon... The fun is only just beginning!
