Well, I am a little behind so let me catch you up to Sawyer's 3 month birthday!
Today my little man giggled for me for the first time! Now, others have told me that he has giggled, but in my book it is not his first time until his mommy hears it =) ! It was quite cute, and I can't wait for him to do it more.
He also had a very unusual accident today where he "sprayed" himself in the face and mouth. Sawyer understandably was very distressed by this (as was I) but I thought it was funny enough to mention as I don't keep a baby book (bad, mom I know.)
Here are delayed 3 month photos
He is a very, very happy baby. If he would only sleep he would be the perfect child.
Given the recent fall weather, we have taken a few trips to the apple orchard. We got a change to go with friends and family and to try out our new super cool Cannon Rebel camera. I have a new obsession. I hope to take photography lessons to learn how to use it to the fullest extent.
Our good friends the Schuttes (Carey, Hallie, Brady and Colin). They are recent transplants from Oxford, OH (Miami land)
Sawyer staying warm in the stroller at the orchard.
My sister Meredith and my nephew Brady came in from Dallas to check up on Sawyer's progress and enjoy the fall weather. We took another trip to MacQueens for Brady's first time apple picking and the much debated Apple Butter Festival. We had their world famous fritters (yum, yum, yum) and picked a half bushel of apples. It was cold and rainy, but we had fun!
These are photos I posted just to show off the greatness of my new camera and the beauty of the orchard.
Brady was hesitant at first to pick apples but became quite good at it soon enough, especially with a boost from Uncle Jason.
Nana and Papa came too and made it double the fun. Sawyer was quiet as a mouse up to this point. Never a good idea to try and take pictures when your child is hungry!
Other things in our life.

We mourn the loss of a very special man, Mark Rasmus. For those of you who don't know him, he was the father of our friend Markus who coached SJJ hockey with Jason. Mark was a very wonderful, friendly man who we became good friends with. He lost very quick battle with cancer at too young of an age. He will be greatly missed by everyone, especially the Szynkowski family.
I will always think of him around Sawyer's birthday because his wife Kay was in the car in front of us at the valet station of the hospital when I went in to deliver. We did not know at the time he was sick, nor why Kay was at the hospital. She was the first person to know of Sawyer's soon arrival and was so sweet to us as usual!

Grandpa Szynkowski had an unfortunate accident and has been in rehab for several weeks. It has been a bumpy road for everyone including him and we hope he can come home soon. He won't be able to walk for 2 more months so life is getting a little complicated. Things are looking okay so we will keep our fingers crossed!
