Three Months

Photobucket

It's pretty hard to believe that Sawyer is now 3 months old. Everything people told us about the three month mark is true - it really is a turning point. When you are up 20 hours a day with a screaming newborn, it is hard to imagine that the stage will ever pass. We finally made it past the newborn hump. He has discovered his hands, enjoys putting everything into his mouth, and is rolling over from his belly to his back!

One thing remains the same though. That boy is ALL Mitchell.

Photobucket

It's pretty cute to see the two of them together. There's something special about a father, son relationship. I just know as soon as he's old enough they'll be out fishing, building forts together and playing pranks on Mom.

Photobucket

He is holding his head up well enough now to be able to sit in his Bumbo chair, which I like for two reasons. One, he looks adorable in it and two, it's a fun word to say.

Photobucket

Kali is still wonderful with him and enjoys licking his face on a regular basis. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to notice and if he does, he certainly doesn't care!

Photobucket

Sawyer and Jacey are a pretty cute little pair as well.

Photobucket

Jacey likes to pet Sawyer's head. Sawyer is not sure quite yet how he feels about that.

Photobucket

There are a few things we just love about our little guy.

His pouty face (which we have come to appreciate now that it is not the only face he makes).

Photobucket

The way he loves his Daddy, and watches him walk around the room when I'm holding him.

Rosy cheeks after evening walks.

Big, gummy, grins!

Photobucket

Chubby little hands.

Photobucket

But, there is STILL nothing cuter that babies in bathtubs!

One Month

Sawyer is one month old! It is absolutely insane how fast time goes. I cannot believe it has been that long - it seems like yesterday we brought him home.

Photobucket

He started out with a bit of jaundice, but sun therapy with Dad did the trick!

Photobucket

He is 2 pounds over his birth weight now (weighing a whopping 9 lbs 1 oz), and is learning not to HATE the weight scale.

Photobucket

He is very strong and holds his head up like a champ! He was holding it up the night he was born, and can now hold it and turn it different directions to look around.

Photobucket

I have also figured out our hard core mountain stroller, so we are mobile now! That stroller is the best money we've spent so far.

Photobucket

The air filled tires set us apart from the other stay at home Mom's on the block and will be perfect for mountain hikes this summer!

Photobucket

Kali has adjusted really really well. She always lays next to him when he's on the floor, and when he cries she gets there before I can.

Photobucket

I, in the past month, have come to realize that there is nothing cuter than a little wet baby in a bathtub.

Faces

The past 3 weeks have been a whirl wind, but we have decided we have one of the cutest kids around.

Sawyer is becoming a lot more alert, and can hold his head up like a champ.

He's already making some pretty funny faces, and we can't help but laugh at some of them.

Hi!
