| my handsome guy |
Your big day started out as every other day. We waited for daddy to get home from his early early morning shift, made some birthday pancakes, one of your favorites for breakfast. After playing with some toys we decided that it was time for your first, yes first, haircut! Two firsts on one day! Your hair had gotten really long, but is so fine and blond that you couldn't really tell, but it was driving your mom crazy! You didn't cry but kept ducking when dad would put the clippers on your head. Now your hair looks very cute!

| sitting by your birthday cupcakes |
 |
| cute balloons, obviously we've got a farm theme going on |
 |
| the masterpieces, the chicks were my favorite |
 |
| with gigi, the only person i got a pic of him with :( |
 |
| opening presents |
 |
| with all his gifts: a book, a hat, a ball, tub toys, a baby bullet, and a bag of clothes |
i know what your thinking, a baby bullet for a one year old. let me explain this kid has a gag reflex like no other. one chunk of something that is in a smooth food like, stage 3 foods, and you're going to get a gag followed by a giant barf! he does fine with finger foods if he doesn't shove too many pieces in his mouth, so we are working on textures!
 |
| happy birthday to you |
 |
| the cake, he ate the whole cupcake, couldn't have been more happier. did i mention he's a little piggy? |
 |
| the sister, her day is coming soon |
 |
| our family picture. after everyone left i noticed we didn't actually get a picture of all of us, hello timer. |
it was a nice day, a fun party, thanks everyone for coming! and i'm so very very grateful that you did not barf in your crib after your birthday party, like your sister!
onto other happenings before sawyer's birthday....
okay i'm slow at posting this stuff!
 |
| sawyer is 11 months! we celebrated with an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. he loved it! |
okay so i wanted to write about him turning 11 months because he grew up during his ten month old span (if that makes sense). I swear he just started to do everything in that one month and i don't want to forget it. here's the list:
* gave up rolling, moved to army crawl
* gave up army crawl, started real crawling and fast
* started pulling up on everything
*figured out how to climb the stairs
*claps
*waves bye-bye
*dancing like no other, to EVERYTHING, including my terrible pitchy singing
*says uh-oh
*gives high-fives
*gave up his bottle at 11 months, drinks from a cup! big boy!
and now i'm not sure if that was it, hello, should have done this a month ago!
onto the most exciting news...
this little girl is finally potty trained!!! whoo hoo! she did awesome, which i knew she would if she just tried! makes my life a lot easier! we are going on three weeks now of panties! and isn't she just adorable!
you'll be hearing from us soon, since it is birthday month...next stop v-day, and then Charly turns 3 (gasp)
