What's happening lately

I have a few updates today :)

-Sawyer went to the doctor today for his 4 month appt! We go every 2 months now so I have been excited to see how he has grown since he was 2 months old.  He is now 15 lbs 3 oz (50th Percentile) and 26.5 inches (90th Percentile).  He is doing well all over- he can roll (no good for us lol), stand if we hold his hands, and eats rice cereal really well now (goes after the spoon when he sees it coming), and has started to push up on his legs.  She said we can start mixing the rice cereal with orange vegetables to start and introduce 2 new foods a week.  He also got more shots.  He did the thing where they stab him and he cries twice.  I am happy we have a baby that doesnt cry unless he has a very good reason (like starving or hurt) and stops the second it goes away :)  She also said the rough spots on his legs are eczema and we just need to lotion him up and not soap his legs much.  Of course he was lotioned yesterday so it wasnt very bad as it can get but i'm glad she knew what it was. I love that mustela lotion!
4 months old!


-Sawyer has been waking up again at night because either he is hungry even though we stuff him before sleeping, or he has rolled over and has limbs hanging out of the crib. He normally wakes up once or twice and I do not enjoy it.  He does go right back to sleep though, but he has done that since he was born so no change there.

-As of yesterday, Sawyer started sucking his thumb.  He never did that before!  I asked the doctor and she said it is good in babies because they are self-soothers so i wont try to stop him.


-We got iPads at work so we have had to move the store around which is a hassle.  They are really cool though but i wouldnt spend $700+ on them because they are pretty much just giant iPhones which we already have.

-We went on a walk with Christine yesterday which was nice because we haven't seen her since she and her bf moved out of our house.  Sawyer was so much bigger.  We had to use my mom's stroller which sucked because i'm used to the awesome jogging one, but it was still fun.  We even found 2 snakes!



-My car is still broken.  The radiator melted.  Hopefully we fix it this weekend because since it broke, my parents were nice and my mom let me drive her Saab since Andy has to use the Pathfinder, so she is driving my dad's car, and he is stuck driving the giant truck which is a Ram 3500 dulie so it is huge and normally they just drive the camper and boat with it so you can imagine that giant thing being a pain using it to drive to work!  I am so happy they let me borrow their car though!

-It is starting to get dark earlier and it is kind of depressing.  It was dark when i got off work, but it was mostly clouds...i did see this awesome sky above the Target on my way to my car


Here is a picture of sawyer in action moving around the bar of his play gym.  It cracks me up!
