Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Sorry we are unable to spend Christmas with most of you, but we wanted to share a little of our Christmas with you anyways. And thanks to you that shared a little with us too!
This is Sawyer's frist ever Christmas dress. She's very cute in it.Here tia Alyssa made Sawyer a little elf hat to match her cousin's Brady at his birthday party. and it's great for the holidays.We opened gifts a little early but we were able to share the experience with micah in Iraq (via web cam) So he didn't have to miss out on sawyer's first christmas/present experience. Here you can see that she loved tearing the paper and getting new toys. it was very fun watching her.Grampy and GranJan gave Sawyer a book and right away Sawyer wanted to touch it.Here she is again enjoying it. (maybe not quite the correct way yet.) but she loves it and it's very adorable!
Here she is with her gift from her cousins Ethan, Kaylee, and CJ. Thanks! She knew exactly how to use them!
It was great getting to share with micah and thank you too for my gifts I really liked mine as well, just no pictures of them. I'm guessing there will be some more christmas after i have time with my family. Sawyer is going to have lots of fun!
Love you all and Merry Christmas! God bless all your celebrations!

Doctor's Appt


Ths morning Sawyer had another doctor's appt. Everything looks great. Developmentally is way ahead of where she should be at 4 months. She very healthy too, has a bit of a running nose from the cold but thats not a big deal. She did have to get two shots as well at the visit but she did great with them. She cried a little bit but once i picked her up and held her for a little bit she bounced right back to her happy self.

She is now:

24 1/8 inches (50% she'll be about as tall as me they say if she stays here)

11 pounds 6 ounces (10% she dropped from 25% but with her rolling and stuff they said it's still a healthy weight for her to be at and a good ratio with her height)

Promotion

Micah was promoted a few days ago! He's been waiting a long time for this so it's very exciting. It also means a little bit higher pay grade, which is always nice! Micah is no longer a Private (pfc)(E3) he is now a Specialist (spc) (E4). Congrats Micah We're very proud of you!!!

Thanksgiving and 4 months

Hello everyone here's a little update. Micah is about to or already has left kuwait to Iraq and first off he's the address he'll be at or is at (no one is allowed to know for sure where they are rite now) He is not going to stay here but this is their main post so he should still receive things I'll get the other address soon.

Pfc Roberts, Micah

So Sawyer had her first thanksgivng and she enjoyed herself. My mom gave Sawyer a spatula which she really loved playing with. It was a low key day but mostly enjoyable.


Shortly after thanksgiving Sawyer reached 4 months old. She has her 4 month doctors appt on the 7th so we'll see how much she's grown and how she's doing there. but Sawyer is a joy and i love being able to spend all my day with her at home. She makes everything very easy for me and i just feel like it's where we're supposed to be at the moment and i'm very glad that we have the means to do it, tho it means that Micah has to be away, and we miss hima lot.
