8 months old

ok ok, I've been harrassed by my mom to update the blog, so here I am in bed, it's 11pm, Jon is snoring next to me, and I don't want to do school anymore, so instead I'll update the blog. :)

Today was a very good day. We handed over the keys to our new renters at the condo, which means that we can finally focus 100% on our new house. There is still a bit to be done around here before I can truly relax. One of the things, I have decided to let one of my friends, 12 year old daughter's do for me. The back yard needs to be weeded pretty bad, but all of my free time goes to Sawyer, cleaning, and school so I just can't justify spending time weeding. Therefore I am gonna pay my little pal $6 an hour to do some weeding for me. Problem solved. I am also anxious to get some shelving up in the garage so we can start to get some organization in there as well. But all in all we have gotten a lot done. Poor Jon's to do list has been so long. I know he is looking forward to me not slave driving him for a while. :)

Sawyer is 8 months old now. The pictures are proof that he will not sit still for anything, especially a picture. So that is why the pictures are of him grabbing the 8 months sign. He does military crawl now. But don't let that fool you, he is scooting around very fast. I need to baby proof a.s.a.p. I bought some of the stuff to do it, I just now need to find the time to do it, or have Jon do the stuff that I can't do. Sawyer has a front tooth that is popping in. He even bit my dad and left a mark on his chin..haha. He is growing so much. I can't believe what a big boy he is. We all just love him so much.

We head to Virginia this week to have a vacation with Jon's side of the family. From Virginia we are going to stay at a beach house in North Carolina. I am so excited to be in some warm weather. We are both so excited to go. And most importantly, I am so glad to finally have Sawyer meet the rest of his family.

So stay tuned for more pictures after the trip.

7 month update - finally

Ok Ok, I know it's been a while. This post update is for Libby, who gets mad at me for not updating the blog. A lot has been going on in my life. You all know we have been moving, and that is just an ongoing process of setting up house, and finishing up work at the condo. It's been slow progress because in the meantime we are working, and since we work opposite shifts, and have baby, we really only can get work done on days that we both have off together which is not often. And on top of that, Im trying to stay focused on school, which is not going so well. Bless my mom, who listens to me cry more than any one person should have to listen to someone cry without getting paid for it. :)

Anyway, enough of my drama, and on to Sawyer's updates. Sawyer is growing so much so fast. He just took his second plane ride to San Diego, to meet his Uncle Brian for the very first time. It was very special. Sawyer responded so well to Uncle Brian - laughing and giggling. Sawyer and JJ were typical boys - fighting over car toys. :) It was nice to go down there and be with family for a bit. It was a quick trip. Sawyer did so well on the plane ride home. He was flirting with all the ladies. So many people just loved him. I got sick on the flight home with migraine and nausea so I was very glad that Sawyer did so well so I didn't have to worry about him fussing or anything. He has been fussing more so than ever lately - he is starting to teeth. I am praying that he does ok on the long travel to Virginia at the end of the month. Not only will we be flying there - which is a long day with layovers and such - but also we will be driving to Baldhead Island from Richmond, which is about 5 hours.

Sawyer is getting so big and so tall. I need to go shopping for him again already. He is about too tall now for 9 month clothes. And he is starting to play with more toys and be more interested in things. Anyway, that's all I got for now. Stay tuned...I promise Libby Ill do a better job of keeping things updated....at least Ill try.
