Sawyer got a great gift package when my cousin Arjen visited my folks in D.C. when he was in the U.S. Thanks to Arjen, Marscha, Youri, and Manou for this great Miffy/Nijntjte T-shirt and book! Sawyer loves them!

Zoo visits
Another fine weekend at the zoo! Sawyer is really loving it- he can identify over a dozen animals and though he can't say the word for most animals- he can make the calls of: dogs, cats, cows, sheep, goats, horses, ducks, monkeys, bears, lions, owls... among others. 
Bird watching ("peep" and "Kack"- for quack)
We decided we are going to keep taking this same picture- Sawyer and Dan at the Polar Bear exhibit- see how he grows! You will notice he has started wearing sunglasses again. When he was really young he accepted them for a short time- he recently has decided that they make sunny summer days more comfortable! 
Colorado Peaches!
Colorado peaches are in season and they are sooooo good! Sawyer has been very excited about his new favorite fruit! And yes- in this second video you can hear him say "peaches" which is one of his many recently acquired new words- guess they have made a big impression.
Mobile Nudie-pop baby
Nudie-pop baby likes to explore the garden...
When Sawyer was born, we re-purposed my old messenger bag to lug his gear around. It has always been a little awkward to carry- we finally decided to get a little backpack for the purpose. We decided to plan ahead an get a little backpack that Sawyer might carry himself. Here he is trying it on. It is truly a tiny backpack but is longer than his entire torso!
...and walk down the driveway...
The farm gave us an amazing bounty this week: onions, potatoes, beets, basil, cabbage, and fava beans. Here is the amazing meal we made for Sunday night: stewed potatos and onions in an Ethiopian Berber sauce, roasted beets, and grilled Sea Bass (delivered from Maine when Mimi visited!)! Yum!

Sawyer loves to walk to the neighborhood ponds (see previous pics of walking down the driveway). This requires walking down our driveway and across the street. We have been working on street-safety. He is learning the steps he needs to take before we walk into the street.
And finally...Sawyer's mobility is swiftly entering new dimensions. This new skill means that all our kitchen counters are accessible to the little guy- oy!
Park time
After a couple really rough weeks Sawyer has kicked pink eye, a five day fever (101-105!), and an ear infection. This little guy is building a super duper immune system- or so we hope! It was great to get back to the park and romp around. Here are some pics...
July wildflowers
Okay, this post isn't about Sawyer. This Sunday I endulged in an amazing early morning hikes in the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. The wildflowers were absolutely breathtaking. Dezi was good company.
