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!

I love your hair!!! Tristan is doing solids too and I think he likes it. Oh...sounds weird but egg yolk is really great for babies. Not the egg white but just boil an egg for about 5-6 minutes and then open it (you can eat the white part for protein) and then give the yolk to her for extra DHA. Tristan loves it. Oh...this is ALyssa...not Zac

Individuality is what makes us who we are. Your hair is lovely long, and it's nice to be able to pull it back in a clip and it's lot less trouble in the wind, yes? I wish I had know how to manage mine when I was younger and wear it long. You're a pretty mommy and I know inside is pretty as outside.
Love you, GG (Granny Grace)
