My New Toy

Isn't this the CUTEST bike ever??? It is even PURPLE!!! I got this new bike as a Christmas present last year, but it was on back-order and took until May to get in. Not a big deal since I didn't have Sawyer until May. But then I had to WAIT even longer before riding it (since I just had a baby!) But I did finally get to take it out for a spin. Man, was it weird to be on a bike again after all this time. I probably haven't ridden since I was about 13. But the old saying is true about not forgetting how to ride a bike. Although, the first several minutes were a little bit unsteady! I am excited to have something fun to take around the neighborhood. I can't wait until next summer when I can take Sawyer in a bike trailer and go for long rides! Now for more waiting.

4 Months Old

I know I'm a little late on my post for 4 months, but I did get the pictures taken on the right day. Another month has gone by and my baby just keeps getting bigger! I hate it. But he is doing so many new, fun things now. He has learned how to grab things! It is so much fun to watch him concentrate on holding something. He purses his little lips and focuses his eyes on the prize! He also makes all sorts of new noises, including the high pitched squeal. This sometimes translates into his temper scream, which is not nearly as cute! He also loves to laugh now. He is getting to a really fun stage, but not quite mobile yet (which I am not complaining about!) He is also at the hands-constantly-in-the-mouth stage. Watch out for the drool! Here is my new favorite picture of him in his motorcycle hat from Grammie.

I am sad because I went back to teaching part time this year, so I don't get to spend as much time with my little guy as I used to. But he has been playing with Grammie, Aunt Abby, and Grandma Becky. They love him to death, so I guess I can share.

Here are his 4 month pictures. They aren't the greatest because it was 9 o'clock at night when we finally got home that day. But he is still cute as ever.

Sitting up with daddy's help

Here are a few extra pictures. He really loves talking to us and laughing these days. He is a really happy baby and grins his head off whenever he sees us. Here he is with a big grin for daddy.

He loves putting his feet up in the air now!
