5, 6, Pick Up Sticks


Happy 6 Months Sawyer!
•It's been a whole half a year since you were born!
•You still won't smile for these photos
•You like to sit up way more than lay down, although you roll over and flail your arms and legs like you are swimming while trying to get upright
•You do this half cough/half laugh when you are excited about something
•You are interacting so much and it is so fun!
•You've been drooling like crazy and gnawing on everything you can get your hands on but you still have no teeth




What he'd rather do at this point

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.

After the opening ceremony they were released to the families. We spent the day seeing the base and spending time with Sawyer.  Sawyer getting some wiggle time while we ate a picnic lunch Crashed out in the hotel room after a long day. He slept through my entire morning routine GRADUATION DAY All d...

Return to Sender

Due to the fact that Ft. Jackson sorts their mail by hand, we've been told to stop sending Carey mail by 05/01. This gives mail time to get to him. If it doesn't get there before he leaves for his next post, it will be returned to you. Once I have his address at the next post, I will post it and letters can resume.  We were very lucky this week and heard from Carey twice! On one occasion Sawyer babbled the entire time we were on the phone. Carey was happy to be able to hear him "talk". See the instagram photo of him in the side bar. He is wearing the headphones so that he can hear us as all 60+ members of his platoon were using their phones at the same time.  They are in the blue phase of training which is the final phase. They will have to pass a PT test this week in order to graduate and next week they will be doing their 3rd and final field training exercise known as Victory Forge. Carey pulled two muscles in his leg and is hoping that he will still be able...
