Sawyer Tricks

Sawyer is now one year, one month, and one week old!

I thought I'd document what "tricks" he does since I tend to forget if it isn't blogged. I hope I don't forget any!

-When you go to get him, he grabs his crib rail and jumps on the bed like crazy

-He doesn't really talk, but says Hi, Mama, Dada, and "da" (like "that") in the right context...though he uses them for other things

-When something is shocking or interesting, he goes "whoa!"

-You can say "where's your head?" and he grabs his head, "where's your ear?" and he points to his ear (not all the time on this yet but often) and occasionally "where's your mouth?"  We got him to get his nose today but one time isn't enough to convince me

-If he sees a dog, or you ask what sound a dog makes, he goes "whoo whoo whoo whoo" (we taught him woof), and What sound an owl makes (hoooooooooooo). Sometimes he can do a monkey too (ahhh ahhh)

-If you sing "Twinkle Twinkle" he will open and close his hand like a twinkle star

-Waves both ways (moving hand up and down and open and closed)

-Rolls ball back and forth

-Claps if you say "yay!" "good job!" or if he hears applause

-If you open my mom's back door he crawls back and forth between the stairs and the grass outside really fast

-Brushes his hair if you give him a brush

-Brushes his teeth if you give him a toothbrush

-Pretty coordinated and can take off and put on lids, and likes to pull straws out of cups and put them back in the little hole

-Points at things including himself

-Drives around cars like cars

-Knocks down block and lego towers one by one (pulls one lego of at a time)

-"Reads" books all by himself. Flips through the pages pointing at things

-Hugs any stuffed animal really tightly and if you say "give it a hug" he does

-Kisses air kisses

-Crawls through his tunnel

I can't think of any else right now, but here is a cute picture of how I found him sleeping this morning on Mocha Bear.
