8 Months Old!

Sawyer is a whole 8 months old today! He's been crawling for 2 months now, and for the past few weeks has been pulling himself up and holding onto things and doing a variation of the hula. He's not exactly steady on his feet yet - but boy does he sure know how to get around!

He sure has a good time and enjoys the new freedom mobility offers.

Or so it seems (look at that laughing, silly, smiley guy!). We truly are blessed with a happy little guy. He is so much fun and has so much energy, we would be rich if we could bottle it up and market it to the masses. We do our best to keep up! Hopefully next month we'll finally get all of our videos edited so we can squeeze them down and show a few...until then here is a little celebration of another month of our marvelous son's life. Besides getting into everything, Sawyer loves going outside, LOVES anything to do with water (ie bath, swimming pool, practicing drinking out of a cup). Oh yes, he also LOVES to be naked. I guess you could say he very much dislikes getting dressed (especially his pjs because he knows it's bedtime then!) He loves napping and sleeping with us. I have to admit it, I really like co-sleeping too. I've found there are a lot of "undercover" co-sleepers out there but I'm fully willing to admit we do it. It doesn't work for everyone, but it works for us. At least for now :) He also loves nursing and to date has never had any formula and won't take a bottle. He has tried a variety of fresh, organic, homemade foods (and I've enjoyed making them for him). He goes crazy for sweet potatoes, and so far his least favorite seems to be asparagus. Oh, and no teeth yet. Sawyer also had his first hair cut this past month - with the clippers (it was a little scary but I gave him a "buzz" - I am totally fine with long hair on boys but his is so straight it was kind of a poof - so I had to do something). He also quite enjoys giving "hi fives". It's fun to see him try so many new things - he is quite the little adventurer!
