I Sure Can Smell The Rain

Today was one of those days where I had a huge to-do list and got nothing done. I wanted to get out on a walk with a friend, but we were foiled by the rain that started up around 10am. It wasn't supposed to start until afternoon and was only a 20% chance at best. Well it has been storming off an on all day. Oscar went almost three hours every feeding last night which was amazing! However, it resulted in him nursing almost constantly today. I made a list of ten things I wanted to accomplish this week and have yet to check a single thing off my list. My phone pinged while I was nursing (again) and reminded me that I had a quarterly call for a rating system that my work would like me to lead point on. Considering the SITES rating systems is the one that focuses on the landscape, it's the closest thing to my undergrad studies I've done since I moved back to Atlanta. So even though I am still on maternity leave it was important for me to sit in. Of course, my Mac was cranky about using WebEx, and Oscar decided that he didn't want to be put down. So this afternoon I was having flashbacks of grad school with Sawyer as a newborn. Headset on, cranky baby on shoulder, trying not to sway too far from the computer that I was attached to. There really is nothing new under the sun. Carey came home with Sawyer and was able to get Oscar down for a nap. He and Sawyer had popsicles for snack and are currently playing upstairs. I'm going to attempt a new meatball recipe for dinner.

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!
