Our sweet Sawyer Jacob is turning the big ONE tomorrow! (October 28)
It's hard to believe that we've been a family of four for a whole year now.
Of course, a first birthday means reflecting back on some of the different things I was feeling a year ago. Excitement, apprehension, nervous, peaceful- God gifted me with a really easy birth with Sawyer. I know things don't always go so smoothly so I was pretty thankful when it went about as good as it could have!
Those first moments when you see the little baby you've been carrying for (more than) nine months... I remember that the two first things I thought were "he's got a lot of hair and he has a huge mouth!".
I mean just look at that thing!
For the most part, he has been a pretty easy baby. He would lay on the floor by himself and just hang out for a long time.
A lot of times after he ate I could just lay him down wherever and he would drift off peacefully into dreamland. That was such a nice change after being used to Summer who did that a whopping two times in her life!
As per the usual, he became a lot more alert and interactive...
and got to be so much fun to play with! He had and still has the best little giggle ever!
He and Summer have become quite the pals, spending most of their time together when they are both awake.
More recently I have given him the name "Sawyer the Destroyer. This first picture is a great depiction of how he just quickly makes one mess and moves right on to the next.
He has become my exercise program- cleaning up his messes and chasing him around or rescuing him from somewhere has become my norm.
We just never know what kind of shenanigan he'll be pulling off next!
He's our snuggle bug, our handsome lil charmer, and he makes us laugh every day.
And he still has a big mouth!
