Sawyer Smith

growing boy

Here is an update to this summer's jumping video- his boy is growing up.

We got a couple of place mats for Sawyer to keep him at the table longer. It has been fun to watch him explore them and learn some new words. Here are a couple of videos...

Sawyer is stringing two words- sometimes three words together. Most of his sentences are about himself or Dezi. He refers to himself as "baby" or "the baby" as in "Up, the baby" when he wants up and "Outside, the baby" when he wants to go outside.

I forgot to update his stats: at his 18 month appointment Sawyer was in the 80th percentile for height and 70th for weight.

i love you, Poppa

Hey Dan- we miss you!

love,

Happy Halloween!

Sawyer went to his first Halloween party on Friday at school. He and his friends had a lot of fun and even were part of a parade that went through the big-kid rooms. On Saturday night we went to another Halloween party and by then Sawyer had figured out how to say "party" and what it might mean. Then we took him trick or treating for his first time- He can say "Happy Ween!" but hasn't mastered "Trick or Treat" yet- I imagine next year he will be in true form. He definitely go the hang of it and ran from one house to the next with his little turtle shell bouncing behind him.

Here are some pictures from his party at school.

Feeding Dezi

We are really happy that Sawyer is starting to help us with chores around the house- about time, huh? ;)

Snow day!

We got an amazing October snow that lasted a couple days. Over 21"!

Sawyer absolutely loved it!

He decided pretty early on that he didn't want to wear his gloves, so Dan had to do some hand-warming interventions.

What to do on a cold and rainy day

Boxes make for some great play time when you are stuck inside the house!

Sawyer wants to be like his Poppa....

We made pumpkin bread together this weekend. Sawyer helped me measure the flour, sugar, and spices. He absolutely loves watching the KitchenAid do its work.
