Big week

This last week has been a big one. Sawyer had her first bath in a tub, which I posted already, I started Sawyer on solids, she started trying to really crawl so now she moves everywhere even more, and her first tooth is trying to come through, but not quite there yet.

Sawyer continues to love bath time and is enjoying starting solids just as much. She lunges at the spoon and smiles and makes all sort of noises. It took me awhile to want to start solids with her because she's my little girl and I don't want her to grow up too fast and plus I didn't really know how to start but some ladies from a mom's prayer group that I go to gave me some tips and helped me out. Sawyer not only likes eating solids but also likes trying to drink out of my glasses. I don't know if she really drinks it or if she just likes licking it but it's really cute with how small she is. I'll have to capture the moment.

She didn't get too messy!

She gets really happy eating like a big girl! and wants to share!

Sawyer is so determined to crawl because she wants to get Casey's "squeaker" or dog toy. this is the object that got her to start trying to crawl and it's just so cute! Micah got to see her the first time she did it really well. she doesn't always have her stomach all the way up but she definitely moves!

I also started wearing my hair with its natural wave which I never would have done before because first I had short hair and it went completely out of control and second because I really didn't know how to style it wavy. I read several times that women a lot of the time like their bodies more after having a baby. and right after having sawyer I was like definitely not! but I LOVE being a mom. everything about it. I get frustrated once in awhile and I know I have a lot to go but it makes me feels more confident in who I am. and I really do like my body better now, especially since I started working out again. I like me better, though I'm not quite where I want to be yet. Ok so that was a little bit of a tangent but wearing my hair wavy is easy just put a little stuff in it and let it air dry and to tell you the truth I think I like it. Let me know what you guys think.

I don't think I really look like a mother though, women here tend a lot to chop their hair and I'm actually growing it out! longest hair I've ever had in my 22 years of life. but I really am starting to like the wave!

Here again without the hat!

Bath time

So i figured since sawyer was sitting up really well on her own that i would try giving her a bath in a regular tub. It went really well... she started to cry for a second but then sat there fine and after about 5 minutes she started having a blast. She thought it was really fun! and it was fun watching her splash and giggle in the water.

Sawyer's first time in a big tub. She looks like a frog!

All sudsed up! she's staring at her fish toy figuring out how to reach it!

now i have to figure out how to stop her from slipping all over the tub... lol she moved all over, only fell over once or twice though. Here's a little clip... Enjoy!

Red Friday

Today I was invited to a group for supporting our troops. Every Friday to show our support we wear something red. So both sawyer and I took part today.
I had sawyer in this outfit but thought she could get confused for a boy so i quickly made her the headband out of a old tshirt seam i thought it was cute!

Domesticmafication

So the other day I decided to be domestic. I took some fabric that i've had for awhile and made an apron and a painting smock. I even made my own bias tape and everything. All materials were things i already had so cost me $0 to make. pretty sweet i thought.

New Years

Happy New years everyone! 2010 has much in store for us all. I hope it blesses you. I know I'm looking forward to the start of the new year! To bring in the new year sawyer wanted to have a baby new year phote shoot!...
