Sawyer and I are truly enjoying our summer. We usually go for a walk around the duck pond each morning, then either swim in our little pool or go to a friends house. We have also been to the splash pad at the zoo. We enjoy getting out and about, and especially eating Zoe's for lunch! We also keep cool, by playing inside! Check out our pics!
Hard to believe but Sawyer is almost one year old! Time has absolutely flown by. Spencer and I are having the time of our lives and love every minute we get to spend with her watching her grow and learn new things. On the day she turned 11 months I was trying to take her picture....
and as you can see she can't sit still! She is everywhere. So I put her down in the floor and let her play with the sales ad for a minute. So thankful I had my camera out, because I caught on camera for the first time her standing up on her own! All by herself!! Such a big girl!!
At 11 months Sawyer:
I can't believe her next post will be about her first birthday! I better get to planning :)
I was able to get a picture of Sawyer's tooth! She now has one coming in beside it!
Well, we have made it to Friday of our first week of summer vacation. Sawyer and I have had a blast! We have played in our pool on the deck, gone for walks at the duck pond, gone swimming with her cousins, and taken several naps :) I wish I had pictures, but when you are the only adult and are around water it can be a little difficult. Hopefully, I will be able to get some this weekend, when Daddy is home. We have had a blast! More stories to come!
but, not because I have nothing to do, but because Sawyer is so stinking busy! She is into everything. I have to make sure she is in one of her toys that confines her, such as her walker or exersaucer in order to get anything accomplished. She loves to chase Bella around in her walker, but she also loves to crawl all over the house, and I of course have to be right behind her. She is a mess :) She hasn't officially started to walk yet, but she has a little toy that allows you to sit and ride or stand and push. She has been able to stand and push herself across the den, but then realizes she has done something big, and plops down. Too cute!
Yuck! Well, last Wednesday morning Sawyer had a low grade fever. It can be normal for babies to have a slight fever such as 99. So..I took her on to school. However, when we got there she felt warmer to me so I had them to check her. Of course, it was over 101, which is the "send home" temp. I had already given her Motrin, but no luck. I called my dad, and told him Sawyer needed to spend the day with him. She did pretty well all day, but the temp never went away. It actually begin to rise. He also found a tooth poking through on her bottom gum. We thought this might be the reason for the temp, but then it began to creep up even higher....
We already had a checkup scheduled at the ENT for Friday, but Spencer called and had it changed to Thursday, because we thought maybe she was having issues with her ears. So he took off Thursday and took her to the ENT. Everything checked out fine there, but she still had a fever. So, on Friday he called the pediatrician and got her in. They checked her for a UTI, but nothing. They decided it was just a fever virus. Well, needless to say this fever virus has been going on for days. She is great when the fever is down, but then it will go up and she is so grumpy and whiney. I feel so sorry for her. Hopefully, it will be gone soon!
