Splish Splash!

Sawyer's first bath given by dad at the hospital.

This boy LOVES water! He loved his first bath at the hospital, and his first bath at home, and pretty much all of them since then too. I think George's calm demeanor helps Sawyer stay calm. He loves getting his little head scrubbed and washed under the faucet. He goes completely limp and relaxed.

Loving the head scrub-down

Checking each other out

Gotta have one in the bathrobe :)

About a month ago we passed the healing phase of the umbilical cord and circ, so he's been officially allowed to have 'baths' since then.

All graduated to the big tub - here he is hanging out on his froggie pad - I like this much better than a baby bathtub. This was taken last night - he's grown so much!

Sawyer continues to be such a great little (BIG) baby...we have so much fun with him around. Since he was 6-weeks-old he's been wearing 3-6 month clothes already! He's a champ and rolled from his tummy to his back last Sunday. He did it three times so I don't think it was a fluke. We already know...he's super advanced :) Oh yes, last night was a Christmas miracle, he slept for 7+ hours!! It's amazing how that much sleep can make you feel SO good!

My mom sent this link to me - so neat! I love this song.

Merry Christmas!

I've always been terrible at sending out Christmas cards, so I think it's pretty neat that they are trying to help out people like me :) What is everyone's trick in getting cards in the mail? When do you start writing and or designing them? I love receiving all of the cards and Christmas letters, and since I'm so terrible at keeping in touch, it's a great way to see and hear what my family and friend's have been up to over the last year.

Thank you Shutterfly for helping us celebrate this wonderful Christmas season by keeping in touch with our family and friends!

My sister Sara used shutterfly to print out all her digital photos to make photo books. They were good quality and had the best pricing. They do all sorts of things, like birth announcements (go here: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birth-announcements) and photo cards (go here: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery). I'm excited to try them out this year for our fam's 2010 Christmas cards!

Disclaimer: Just because I'm doing this to get free cards doesn't mean I'll actually get them in the mail. So please don't be offended if you don't get one. I'm still learning how to get in a shower and maybe accomplish one other thing during the day with a baby to take care of now :)

6 weeks today!

Look how strong I am! And happy too :)

And mom might learn how to get some things done around the house with two hands free now!

A Shower for Sawyer

Well Sarita had a baby shower planned for Sawyer on Oct 27, but someone (Sawyer) decided to ruin her plans and come early (yay!) So we had it on November 18th instead. It was fabulous. So relaxed, wonderful company, lots of truffles, homemade bread, and pinwheels. And the star of the show could be there, Sawyer!

Look at this silly boy! This was taken during one of our many middle-of-the-night rendezvous...smiles make it all worth it!

Thank you grandma Sally for letting us have the party at your home!

Shena made it down :)

Sara made those cute platters that are holding the truffles. Upside-down sundae cups with a large plate on the bottom and a small one on top using glass glue. I must be stinky...no one sitting by me.

Chelsea, Sawyer's oldest cousin, got to come!

Check out his nursery with his name hung above the crib...it looks awesome, thanks Liza!

Sawyer loves the cute clothes, great books, and blankies he scored. What a lucky guy to have THREE showers. He is one LOVED little boy :) Thank you all SO much!
