Three Months

With starting back to work I am way behind with my blogging.  So here is my attempt to catch up.

Sawyer has grown so much.  She can now hold her head up so well, and can even roll from her stomach to her back.  She doesn't do it all the time, but she does do it.  She has now officially started daycare or as we call it, school, and is doing really well.  She takes a 6oz bottle about every 3-4 hours.  She was doing well and sleeping almost through the night, but now that we have moved her to her bed, she doesn't quite make it.  She wakes around 2am and comes to bed with us and sleeps until about 4, then I feed her and she goes back to sleep (sometimes) for about an hour or so.  She coos all the time and loves to smile.  She is such a happy baby and sooooo much fun!

 

 

The Great Pumpkin Patch

I absolutely love this time of year!  Now that Spencer and I have Sawyer, I just couldn't wait any longer to start taking her to fun festivities.  Now, I know she isn't going to remember them, but I will have pictures and my blog book to prove it.  So last weekend Spencer and I took Sawyer to The Great Pumpkin Patch in Hayden.  Over all we had a good time, but it was a little hot (not the nice cool fall weather I love so much), and it was definently geared more towards older children. But, we still had fun.  Still sleepy when we arrived.

Her serious look!

Sawyer after she toppled over.  The only reason I am posting this picture is because one day I can look back and laugh, but at this moment I wanted to cry.  She was fine though, just a little dirt on the face and up the nose :(

Never would look at the camera, but still a cutie!

Two Months Old

On Monday Spencer and I took Sawyer for her two month check up.  She weighed  11lbs 10oz and was 22.5in long. She is a growing girl!  She also had to get four shots.  She was such a trooper!  She cried a little during the shots, then once they were over we loved on her and she was fine.  She ran a little bit of a temp that afternoon, but nothing a little infant Tylenol couldn't fix!  I am so proud of her!

Auburn Football!

So we all know I am the Auburn fan in the family!  Spencer claims to be an Alabama fan, but truthfully he doesn't really care! So...I have decided that since I birthed Sawyer I would dress her in Auburn attire! (This theory makes perfect sense to me:)) So Sawyer is officially ready for football season thanks to Granddaddy and Mommy!

Auburn onesie!

Navy Auburn dress with matching headband!

Auburn diaper cover and Auburn t-shirt.

I know it's hard to see in the pictures but, this is her little Auburn t-shirt that says, "Tigers."

Happy Football Season!

WAR EAGLE!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

So for Labor Day we packed up and headed to the lake.  We had a great time with the family.  Sawyer even went on her first boat ride.  She loved the Blue Goose and did a fabulous job! 

 

Quick family photo on the Blue Goose, and yes, we have an infant life vest for her! :)

Hanging out in the swing with Daddy!

Sunbathing!  Okay, not really, just taking a photo! 

Such a happy baby!

Passed out on Granddaddy!

Such a sweetie!

We had a great time at the lake, but we were ready to get home and get back into our routine! 

The Good Life

Finally.  I say that with caution, but I do feel that we are finally adapting to life with a newborn and are somewhat on a schedule.  Now I will say that schedule does change if we go off somewhere for the weekend or someone else (such as grandparents) are around.  But, for the most part we are in a routine.  I have learned (or think I have) her cries.  I am usually able to figure out what she needs.  Sawyer is a very happy and continent baby.  She takes after her Daddy in that way.  She is like me in the way that sometimes she just wants to be left alone.  She enjoys swinging in her swing and playing on her floor mat.  When she is tired, she will let you know, and wants to be put down so she can nap by herself. 

Spencer and I are so blessed to have such a precious baby girl.  She melts our hearts on a daily basis.  We love you Sawyer Rhea!!!

6 Weeks....

Sawyer is now six weeks old.  It totally amazes me how fast time flies.  She has grown so much.  We are doing much better with a schedule.  All it takes is a little time.  In the next few weeks we will really be working on our routines.  We have to practice getting up, getting ready, and loading up to get out the door on time.  Not quite ready for all that, but we will get adjusted.  I think we both work well on routines and schedules. 

We are trying to figure out our nighttime routine right now.  She can sleep anywhere from 4-6 hours during the night.  I want to be able to put her down between 8 and 9, but I have to make sure she gets enough to eat so she will sleep until 2 or 3.  I don't like it when she gets up at 4 because then, there would be no point in me going back to sleep once she finishes eating, because I need to be getting up at 5.  Once we figure all this out, we will be good to go.
