Weight:15lbs 12.5 0z (25%)

The Many Faces of Sawyer (includes commentary)

Adored
"I am so loved by everyone!"

Surprised:
"Wow! That peek-a-boo thing you do is INSANE! One minute you're there
and the next. . .WHOA!"

Ecstatic:
"I love my life! I love my family! I love food! It can't
get any better than this!"
Busy (aka working on something):
"Do you mind?! Some privacy please! I don't stare at you when you
are pooping!"
Frightened:
"What the heck is THAT?! You want to put that WHERE?"

ROTFL:

"Bawhahahahahahahahaha! That is the most hilarious thing
I have ever heard! You're killin' me!"

The Deer Caught in the Headlights:
"What? Don't look at me! I didn't make that noise! Ask Daddy!"
Flattered:
"Yes, I know I am the King of Adorable. Thank you, thank you. You may kiss the
royal cheeks now. Whichever ones you prefer."

His Jim Carey impression
"Aha aha ahahehehehahahhe!"

Amazed:
"You don't say?! She did what with who? Oh, no she didn't!"

Repulsed:
" What is that smell? Has my diaper been checked recently?!"

Clueless:
"Duh, huh?"

Aren't his faces just the CUTEST!!!! :D

Little Miss-Chevious

This is what you get when you leave a little girl quiet for too long without checking on her. I caught Alexandria in the bathroom, my make up bag in hand, beautifying herself. Isn't she gorgeous?! She even managed to get my mascara unscrewed! She loves to watch me put my make up on and then she will ask for some. I guess I wasn't applying enough! This little girl certainly gives me a run for my money! She is seriously into EVERYTHING!!!! Gotta love her!

Ahhhhhh, lovely, isn't she?

Future make-up artist in the making!
I have to say, I think she got that smokey eye look down to a tee!

Sawyer's Blessing

We finally had Sawyer blessed on August 1st. We had been waiting for Michael's family to come visit to have this special event. My little man looked so adorable dressed in his white suit! A very good friend of ours did us the honor of blessing our handsome baby boy. Sawyer was a little fussy during his blessing. The men had him laying down and our big boy wanted to sit up! But overall, he did well. Ceasar gave him a beautiful blessing and after church we had everyone over for dinner and dessert. It was a lovely day!
