Sweet boy

Check out those pudgy little arm rolls. I can't get enough of this baby!

Why do they grow so fast?

Signs of Spring

The frogs have hatched. At first I thought it was somebody's house alarm going off. It is fun to hear each evening. The kids want to go frogging this weekend...we'll see.



Forgive the moving car during filming, another car was coming so I had to get out of the way a bit.

5 months old

What this 5 month old is up to:

Goes to bed between 6:30-7pm and wakes up between 7-8 am.
Takes a morning nap for 3-4 hours.
Is horrible at taking afternoon naps (thus the early bedtime).
Eats milk, and a little rice cereal. He's not completely sold on the cereal yet.
Has two little nubbins coming up on his bottom front teeth, but they haven't broken through yet.
Likes to be held and entertained more.
Gets offended if we walk away from him without picking him up and bringing him along.
Is not impressed with strangers.
Has rolled from front to back, and last week rolled from back to front.
Wears 6-12 month old clothes.
Will NOT fall asleep in my arms, no matter how tired he is. This is not good for three hours of church.
Is sweet and handsome and the love of our lives!

My favorite picture! It's going on the wall!

Clubhouse

McKinley and Sawyer decided to play outside together after church. They started playing soccer and ended up making a "clubhouse". They stayed outside for hours by themselves. Which at our house is a miracle, since McKinley won't play outside without me forcing her or an adult outside to watch her or play with her. So I let them play in the old wood pieces despite the constant thoughts of ticks running through my head, because I was just grateful they were playing outside...like kids.

1st grade music show

To my surprise, this year Sawyer loves music class. Yesterday was his 1st grade music show. It was adorable. I had to get McKinley early from school and bring her with me (or else her bus would have arrived home while we were gone). Unfortunately Josh had only one hour of nap for the day so far. As soon as the first song broke out Josh screamed with fear from the loud noise. So I watched to show from the doorway. Luckily McKinley and Hayden sat quietly by each other with no incidents.

I am so lucky to have you Sawyer!

Giggles

Of course before the camera turned on he was full on belly laughing. I got the very mild version, but it's still sweet to watch.

Rockstar

For "G" day at preschool we made a "g"uitar. Then we rocked out. A few weeks ago we watched a Sesame Street episode with Ricky Gervais singing a funny "N" song that had us both cracking up (google it, it's funny). Hayden was literally on the floor laughing so hard he was crying, which made me laugh even harder. So if you watch the video, that's what he's singing. It's one of our go-to funny songs for our family. He's a good little rockstar.

P.S. Excuse the ending, he was gassy I guess. Ha ha! Oh he will kill me when he's a teenager and this is floating around on the internet!
