Sawyer's good looks
Dan. Here is a pic of him at 3 years old - earning a penny for cleaning the table.And below is Sawyer, just shy of 2 years - being ridiculously cute.
2 year old stats
Sawyer saw the pediatrician just a couple days after his birthday. He is in the 93rd percentile for height (at 36 1/4") and in the 75th percentile for weight (at 30 lbs)! Everything seems to check out well. His eyes are straight, all his teeth but his back molars are in, he is on target for milestones.
We finally scheduled an appointment to have him tested for nut allergies. The doctor felt strongly that with family history it isn't appropriate to try out nuts at home. So on May 13th, he will be scratched to test all the nuts. It will be nice to finally know!
Birthday!
Sawyer had a great birthday. We started with presents, of course. Then we went out for a yummy breakfast where Sawyer got a bear-shaped chocolate chip pancake. Lucky boy.
Then we headed to the Science and Nature museum where Sawyer flew space ships, measured up to skeletons, and explored the benefits of big mule deer ears.
Thanks for the gifts and birthday wishes!
23 month update
Okay- I have been out of the loop for a bit. Last week I spent a week at a symposium in Arizona for work and am clawing my way back into life and work. It was really hard to be away from Sawyer and Dan but we were able to Skype a bit to stay in touch.
Since my last posting, Sawyer has been growing in leaps and bounds. He graduated from the Dew Drop room into the "Hurricane" room for the bigger toddlers a couple of weeks ago. He and his buddy, Taj, transitioned up and their bond has grown ever stronger.
Sawyer is talking more and more everyday. His sentence structure is improving a lot, though he is still working on the complexities of "me, mine, I, and you." His most common phrase, still, is "Mommy/Poppa, hold you" when he is asking us to hold him. I love the turn around of pronouns. He is also testing out whether or not whining is an effective way to get what he wants. Mostly he is learning that it isn't.
He has been loving the melting snow- puddles to splash in, mostly. We have been taking his bike out for rides between snows and he is getting more and more confident-- though sometimes he gets going to fast and ends up crumpled up on the ground. He is mostly taking this in stride.
Sawyer is eating more of a variety of foods as he is moving away from the white-only approach and incorporating some other foods. While he will eat almost any fruit, he still mostly refuses vegetables- though he will eat pureed veggies if they are topped with ketchup. Well, he will eat most anything with ketchup on it. He has decided that crepes are good (even the savory kind) and he loves french toast.
Surprisingly, he is still sleeping in a crib- though we are pretty sure that the day he figures out he can climb out can't be too far away. Until we see him risking breaking a limb, you will find him in his crib at night.
And finally, Sawyer is completely obsessed with trains. Everything is a train in his vivid imagination- dishes leaned up against each other in the dish washer, pieces of pasta lined up on his tray, anything that moves can potentially be a train.
I will try to get some pics up this week.

Sleeping bag
Sawyer was very very excited to get his first sleeping bag. Of course, we had to play play play in it!
