Six week wrap-up

So many things to write about...here are a few highlights of the last few weeks of Sawyer's life. Newborn photo
Isn't it the cutest?!
This is Sawyer's second cousin Reese. He is 3 weeks younger. They are going to have a lot of fun together!

Sawyer is getting very strong. Here he is practicing his head lifts while getting tummy time.



Exhausted after his first trip to Tamo and SJJ hockey game.
We love the Moby!

For all of you that thought Sawyer has Jason's nose...take a comparison with this photo of me.

1 Month old!!!
This was at grandma's house in BG where we stayed for a week while Jason was gone.
Aunt Meredith and cousin Patrick came all the way from Dallas to help me with Sawyer while Jason was at hockey school. Patrick took to Sawyer like peas and carrots...so sweet.

Thanks aunt Mer. (Also note this was just before he pooped on his aunt).

Daddy...please take me to Oxford with you!

Milestones so far....
1. Passed the 9 lb mark....and good checkup from the cardiologist.
2. Visually tracking very well.
3. Smiles when prompted
4. Sleeps 4 hours at night (well only once, then up every 2-3 after...phew)
5. LOVES bathtime and his pacifier
6. Enjoys the outside and looking up at the trees

Other fun things we did
1. Visited our neighbors Mark, Kim and baby Lori at their cottage in Michigan. I tried to keep him out of the sun, but Sawyer got a little sunburned. Thankfully not too bad!
2. Multiple visits from good friends and family to welcome Sawyer!
3. Many visits to Handels and Mr. Freeze (Sawyer can't wait to get them first hand instead on second.)
4. Took walks at Wildwood with baby Lola and Luke and their moms.
5. Farewell dinner for Kim and DP who moved to the Jersey Shore (can I get a fist pump?)
6. A fun reunion with the "This Is It" girls. Pictures are on FB. It needs to be semi-annual!

Well, that is it for now. We have 8 week checkups in a few weeks. Stay tuned!
