Christmas 2010

We had a fantastic Christmas season this year. We went downtown with my family one night to see the lights at Temple Square. Unfortunately, it was VERY cold that night. So we only stayed out long enough to get a couple of cute pictures and then we headed to Benihana's for a yummy dinner for John's birthday.

 

 

We also had some fun celebrating with Shane's family before Christmas too, making cookie trains. But I forgot to take pictures of that.

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated with the Baucom/Nielsen family as is tradition. We had lots of fun catching up with them. We even got to watch some fun home videos of Ashley and I dancing as little girls. Gotta love the poufy bangs and leotards from the 80's!!!

We stayed overnight at my parent's house and then did presents in the morning with them. We got some really cute pictures of Sawyer's FIRST Christmas. He loved the wrapping paper as much as the presents!

Shane with his new gun--so excited!

Smith grandkids all in their Christmas jammies!

After Christmas Sawyer and I went to Salt Lake to stay for a few nights at my parent's house. One night we played with Anton's new game called Cuponk. The basic idea is to bounce a ping pong ball over obstacles, or off walls, or the floor and get it into the cup. Just our cup of tea! So Abby, Jordan, Anton and I played for about 2 hours one night. SO FUN!! Here are some pictures, so you get the idea. They aren't super in focus, but we sure had fun! Anton refused to be in the pictures, he hates being documented.

Hope your Christmas season was spectacular too!!!

7 Months

Time flies when you're having fun! Sawyer is 7 months. He is still the best baby. Getting chubbier by the day because he sure loves that formula! He is now eating bananas and sweet potatoes. We are going to try green beans and peas this week. That should be fun! He is a very picky eater and gags quite often. Poor thing. He still hates the tummy! No moving yet, but I'm not complaining about that! We are working on making his legs stronger while he stands, but he's not strong enough to stand on his own. He also makes a strange new noise when he is concentrating. It goes like this: hhaaaaaa, hhhaaaaa. Weird! I've posted a video so you can hear for yourself. Sawyer's eyes are definitely changing. We're not sure what color they will be as they now have blue, green, gray, and even a little brown in them. We love our little guy!!


Here are his 7 month pictures, he gets cuter by the day! Gotta love those enormous cheeks.

He is glaring at me for making him be on his tummy! 

 Practicing standing with Daddy's help.

This is a video of his crazy noise. You have to listen closely to hear it. It is at the end of the video right as he is about to tip over and grab the camera.
