The Adventures of Sawyer: 7 Months

What? Already? Seriously? Where has the time gone? Sawyer turned 7 months old on May 17th...and I swear we were just keeping track of contractions like yesterday! Our lives have changed so much in the last 7 months that I can't remember most of it before Sawyer came along! He is amazing to us, and each and everyday we tell him how much we love him (maybe a million times or more!!)

At 7 months he is trying so hard to crawl (I'm sure he will get it pretty soon) and he certainly has mastered the roll! He rolls anyplace he needs to go, and he knows exactly the places he shouldn't be in b/c he always rolls there first! He is fascinated with going under his bouncy seat and the end table and loves to roll to the register and put his fingers inside as well as feel the cool air blow out on his face. He is really good at picking objects up and moves them from hand to hand. It's comical to watch him put something in his hand and then shake his hand up and down while holding onto it. He has learned how to wave and will wave back to us most of the time when we wave to him. He has also learned the word "fan" and when we ask him where the fan is he looks up! So cute! Sawyer is not a picky eater either! Everything we have fed him he seems to enjoy...a trait both mommy and daddy have too! We have introduced him to meats this month...he has had chicken, turkey, beef and ham as well as an array of fruits and veggies. I too have found some baby foods that I think are yummy!! Hawaiian Delight is delicious! We did have to take him to the Dr. for a reoccurring eye infection...poor thing keeps on watering and getting green/yellow gunk in it. The last time this happened the Dr. gave us medicine to try...it didn't go over so well...so this time they gave us eye drops...um yeah right! He was NOT going to let those drops near his eye...but then we learned to distract him with a new toy each night and he didn't even realize daddy was going to drop one in! We think Sawyer is beginning to teeth as well. He seems to be drooling more and constantly chewing on his bib or shirt, in addition to his normal chewing on all of his toys. Over Memorial Day weekend he ate very little solid food and drank the usual amount of milk. He has become pretty fussy and this is NOT typical behavior for him....poor guy! As for Sawyer's appearance...he seems to be gaining weight at a normal pace but continues to work on his height...lol! His hair is starting to come in (you would think he would have hair EVERYWHERE like his daddy does...but that's not the case) and at times I see a lot of light brown/blonde in it...it will be neat to see what hair color he ends up with.

The best part of my day is coming home and seeing the little toothless, gummy grin stretch across that beautiful face of his! I LOVE to hear his laugh, especially the belly laugh he does as we play with him. He has also started to use a light 'scream' when he is excited about something...soo cute I could listen to it all day!
