First Bit of FOOD!

Today is Sawyer's 4 month birthday. We have yet to take his 4 month old picture, but we did feed him some rice cereal... and he LOVED it. It took a long time for him to figure out how to swallow it, and we all three needed a bath afterwards, but he was very happy with himself. :) My life is about to get easier! No more pumping every 3 hours like I've done the last 4 months, every day... an estimated 480 times. :) :) :)

Random love...

Bubby's Amish bubble facial hair...


Very VERY interested in the Poinsettia :)



It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas... :)

We are SO excited for our first Christmas as parents. Watching Sawyer's interest in everything around him, even when he doesn't really understand what's happening yet, is so very exciting. We have decided to always have a real Christmas tree, at least, until we're old and crotchety. Our plan was to cut our own down this year, but on the day we planned to go get our tree, it was raining and cold out. Since Sawyer won't really have that memory, we'll go ahead and try again next year. This year, we went to Lowe's :)

This is the one!

My new obsession (Pinterest) showed a few different Christmas decorating crafts that I decided to try this year. The first was one I stole from my sister- tying ribbons onto the lights. Sawyer LOVED looking at all the twinkle lights. He loves lights in general, so this works out perfectly. :)





Notice the change of attire... we do this quite frequently at our house :)


We had to go buy one of our "special" ornaments for Sawyer, but they didn't have any with his name, so we improvised!






I also decorated my front door with a wreath made out of a wire hanger and ornaments and little Christmas trees made out of tomato cages. They turned out really well!
