5 Months

It seems like every time Sawyer is another month older there are SO many other things going on.  This time it was Halloween and the election.  At 5 months Sawyer is growing like a weed.  He looks like a different baby every time I wake him up.  He is still sleeping very well at night and napping pretty well.  He is rolling all over the bed now.  Most nights he sleeps on his belly.  I find it ironic that his sleep sack says back is best. :)  He is now up to 3 feedings of oatmeal a day so veggies here we come.  He is so funny when he eats.  He eats like his daddy...really fast.  I can't spoon in his food fast enough and he opens his mouth up REALLY wide every time I give him a bite.  I finally found his tickle spots...the tops of his thighs and shoulders.  We can always make him cackle like crazy if we whisper in his ear.  He also does this really cute thing now when you smile at him he'll just bury his head into you like he's shy.  I just want to put those little dimples in my pocket.  Bath time is still one of his favorites and he now splashes his legs the entire time. He's growing up so fast and is so much fun!  I dread Monday mornings because it's another week of dropping him off all day but it makes the end of the day so much sweeter!

I VOTED!!!!!

When did this become my living room decor!?!?!?

I love eating...I even talk when it's extra yummy!

Yummy Yummy food in my TUMMY!

Sawyer reached another big milestone this weekend.  Yep, he ate food...oatmeal cereal to be exact!  After 4 1/2 months of severe acid reflux and spitting up I made the decision to ahead and see if what others say is true.  And thankfully, so far, it its! It has really helped his reflux with only one feeding a day.  He seems so much more fulfilled, happy and the fussing/spit up is very minimal.  Points for mom and dad on this decision because the doctor said it was up to us if we wanted to eat at 4 months or wait until 6 months.  He wasn't so sure about it at first and insists on putting his fingers in his mouth after every bite.  Of course the entire time I was certain you were going to choke to death but you didn't and you're slowly becoming a champ at mastering that spoon! :)

First time in my big boy high chair

 

First time eating from a spoon...oatmeal is pretty tasty!

It's FALL Y'all

This is hands down my most favorite season of the year...football, pumpkins, chill in the air, etc.  I have already embarked on some of my fall time activities such as taking Sawyer to the Roswell Youth Day Parade and pumpkin patch and baking some yummy pumpkin bread.  Sawyer is growing like a weed and rolling all over the place.  He has discovered his toes which makes changing quite challenging these days.  My favorite mommy thing at the moment is waking him up in the mornings and picking him up from daycare...there is NO better feeling than that huge smile that comes across Sawyer's face reassuring me that he knows I'm his mom.  The funny thing of the moment...he now wakes up at night just to talk to himself for about 15 minutes and then goes back to sleep (wish it wasn't happening around Halloween because it makes it a little more creepy).  He's beginning to show a lot of readiness signs for solid foods so that may be our next big step so stay tuned!

Some of our pictures from the pumpkin patch...

 

Side note...This is what I'm currently trying to remind myself everyday while being a working mommy:

 

MoNTh FouR!

I can't believe we have already made it to FOUR months!  I definitely believe it now when other people tell me "don't blink!"  We had Sawyer's checkup and here are his current stats: Weight-13lbs, 13oz (35th percentile), Height-24in (60th percentile), Eating-8oz every 4hrs (4 times a day), Sleeping-10-12 straight hours a night with 2-3 naps a day lasting anywhere from 1-3 hours.  I fall more and more in love with him everyday!

 

He has started laughing an actual laugh and it is hilarious. 

Jared and I say it sounds like his little old man laugh.

AND the little nugget is just about to figure out how to crawl!  He still only rolls from tummy to back but he may just skip everything and stand up and walk at this rate.  Is it bad if I push him down when he starts walking?

 

Sawyer has discoverd my childhood blanket and loves it.  I certainly hope that he doesn't think it will be his.  He's actually in the "big bed" in this picture which I said I would never let him do but he only gets in there for his Saturday morning nap so we call it our "Saturday Morning Snuggle."  He still sucks those two middle fingers like crazy which is good because we don't have to play the "find the paci" game!  I love that he likes to sleep like his mommy!

 

This time of year we are ALL INTO sports...Auburn, Falcons, Braves.  Unfortunately, Auburn is having a terrible season and the Braves are no longer in the playoffs.  Here's to hoping the Falcons can give us just a little bit of satisfaction this year!

WaR EaGLe!!!!

 

Today has seriously been a HUGE milestone day for Sawyer. He turned 3 months old, had his first Auburn game, cackled for the first time, and rolled over for the first time.  He also had his 3 month pictures made, met his buddy Majors and is talking non stop.  He is still sleeping through the night but still struggling with feedings due to his reflux.  Hopefully we'll be growing out of this soon.  He absolutely loves his bath time and we stayed in Waumba Land for the first time (daycare at Northpoint Church).

At 2 months old Sawyer is weighing in at 11.8 lbs, 23 in long and had his first round of vaccinations.  He was diagnosed with acid reflux and is taking Zantac for it.  He is smiling a lot and sleeping throught the night.  YAY!!!  I also went to Thomaston and church at Northpoint for the first time.  Mommy started back to work but I love my sitter Mrs. Kathy!
