So we decided to venture out and let Sawyer try table food. Even though she doesn't have any teeth yet, she has been very interested in our food. So one night we decided to make spaghetti for dinner and let her eat it. The rest has been history. She is over baby food and loves to eat what Mommy and Daddy eat.
I have an adorable video of her eating, but I cannot figure out how to get it off my camera.
I had a fantastic first Mother's Day! The sad thing is, I didn't take a picture of any of it. I spent the entire day with my sweet Sawyer and wonderful husband. We did go and meet my parents for lunch and then topped off the afternoon with homemade ice cream at their house with my grandparents. I hate that this post is short, but like I said I do not have any pictures to post.
We spent most of Easter weekend at the lake, but did head back early Sunday morning to go to church with my parents and then head over to Joycie's for lunch!
So, if you don't already know, Spencer and I have a camper trailer set up on Lake Guntersville. It is about as close to a lake house as we are going to get for now. It is somewhat of a version of camping, I mean I have a bathroom and air conditioning. I really can't complain. We also have a pontoon boat, so we are ready to launch it for the season! Anyway....we spend most of our weekends from here on out at Lake Guntersville.
This past weekend we went up on Friday night and then hung out on Saturday. I had a great time dressing Sawyer up in different articles of clothing and taking her picture. I also painted her toenails! I had a blast! We are going to have so much fun together!
So, I entered Sawyer in Birmingham's Most Photogenic Baby contest. It is a fundraiser done by Children's Hospital to raise money for their Miracle Network. You go and have your child's picture made, look through all of the pictures, pick one, and then decide which category you would like to enter your child in. I chose precious and beautiful. The awards ceremony was about three weeks later. You can vote for 50 cents per vote, and then they also have judges come in. I wasn't able to raise a lot of money, not as many as some children, but I did raise about $250. And....of course I will always think Sawyer is the most beautiful and most precious :)
Sawyer is now nine months old! Really? Where did the time go? She is growing and changing so much every day. Spencer and I wake up every morning and think she has grown a foot. These are things she likes and can do at nine months old:
Sawyer likes/or can:
I am thinking when I post about her at 10 months she is going to be walking! Crazy!
So as you know from a previous post, Sawyer had to have her right ear tube replaced because it was clogged. She did a great job, and life went on as normal once we returned home! She was back on schedule and you can tell that she feels great! Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!
