Strawberry Fields Forever

 

My sister Rachael requested some jam making lessons. I had a final exam to take. So I made her a deal. I would teach her how to make jam if she watched Sawyer while I took the exam. Their family moved to the Raleigh area last summer and we have been so blessed to see them much more. Sawyer's cousins have been excited to show him all the fun activities they do. We started our weekend with a trip to a local strawberry farm. Summer & I helped the boys pick and Rachael got some snuggles with a stuffy, congested Sawyer.

    Did you go to Vollmer Farms (I think that's the name...)? That's where we went! It's not too far from Rachael, I think.

    And does Sawyer have a self-made mohawk??

All (S)He Wants to Do is Dance

Sawyer has shown an interest in music and dancing and gets really excited when one or the other is happening. Our friend Derrell (after whom Sawyer is named) was over the other night and they were dancing on the changing table. I only caught the tail end on video but the way he's laughing at the beginning of the video was the way he was squealing for a good 5 minutes. It was so cute to watch.

Fun, Fun, Fun

I apologize for the bad resolution of the pictures, but sometimes my phone is more handy than the camera. We've been working hard on tummy time and Sawyer's muscle control. He's been wiggling like crazy. Most days he only lasts 2-3 minutes on his belly but this particular day he was having a grand time. He's really holding his head up well! Airplane Baby

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

SNOW DAY! We had a cold snowy day two weeks ago. It was cold and rainy with flurries intermixed all day long. We snuggled on the couch and watched movies and I studied for a midterm but by late afternoon the snow was coming down a lot! We got an inch or so in less than 30 minutes. By the time we got our act together it was too dark for outside pictures but as soon as everyone was up Sunday morning we got dressed and went outside to document Sawyer's first snow day. This bear outfit was a hand-me-down from our friends the W's. Their son was born in June so he never wore it. Sawyer looked precious bundled up in it for our pictures.  He didn't much like being outside. It was COLD and BRIGHT! Hopefully that trend won't continue. We want him to love the outdoors as much as we do!
