Wow, this momma is a slacker when it comes to blogging about all kinds of "firsts" for Sawyer. I last updated when he was 8 months old. Seven months later, I have a 15 month old on hand, who is so full of life! He began walking at around 10 1/2 months old and hasn't slowed down since. He says words like ball, Da Da, Ma Ma, bird, deer, and three! He was broken from his bottle right around 1 year old, and it was super easy. The pacifier, on the other hand, will not be that easy. He LOVES his paci, especially when he's tired. He has 6 teeth and has turned out to be a really good sleeper (as long as he's in Mommy's bed.) I was worried about him sleeping with me at first, but I have come to love it. I know that eventually, things will have to change, but for now it is working for us. They are only little once, right? ;) He goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:30 and will sleep until 7 or 8 when Mommy doesn't have to work. Sawyer takes about 2 two-hour naps a day, and I have learned to take naps too when I am home with him. My once organized home is now not so organized, as his toys have overtaken the
living room every area of the house. I finally surrendered and had to let go of having a clean and somewhat organized home. It may look like a mess, but memories are in the making.
Some of Sawyer's favorite things:
*throwing
balls anything he gets his hands on, particularly aiming for Mommy and Daddy's head (We are trying to teach him "no," but he thinks we are just playing. sigh. a little tap on the booty or hand is not phasing him right now.
*pulling Belle's tail, of who, by the way, is now terrified of him
*chasing Belle and Babee around the house
*giving kisses
*dancing his little 2 step
*playing with cars...he loves his Hot Wheels
*favorite tv shows: Barney, Wiggles, Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street, Sid the Science Kid....pretty much anything that has lots of music and dancing
Sawyer is very much a mommy's boy. I love him more every single day. I'm actually still struggling with balancing work life and mommy life. Even though I love the 18 kiddos I teach, my heart longs to be "at home" with my baby boy.
I could write much more, but my little man is waking from his afternoon nap. I vow not wait as long to update the next time around....after all, pretty soon, I'll be updating about 2 little ones in diapers. YIKES!
