The Kuhn Family: Sawyer is 5 Months Old!

Can't believe Sawyer is 5 months old! He's is growing up so fast! He is the happiest little guy! He is always smiling, and his smile is contagious!

Sawyer is eating a ton! For breakfast he eats cereal and a jar of fruit. For lunch he eats a jar of fruit and a jar of vegetable. For dinner he also eats a jar of fruit and a jar of vegetable. He's still a skinny minny though! He must have his Mommy's metabolism!

Sawyer is doing new things everyday! He is sitting up by himself - which he loves to do! He picks up his toys off the ground to play with. He enjoys being read to. His favorite book is Mirror Me by Baby Einstein - every time we open it to read he is a bundle of giggles! He likes to swing outside with his brothers.

Sawyer said "Mama" the day before he turned 5 months old! He has a cold and was up in the middle of the night and I thought he said it then, but I figured it was wishful thinking! Then in the morning I gave him to Rick to hold while I went into the bathroom to get ready. He called out several times "Mama"! I was so excited! So I brought him in the bathroom and put him in his bouncy seat and he said it again! And he said it before Dada! I know he is probably just saying it and not connecting it yet, but it sure seemed like it! I am excited because usually they get the dada, baba, and/or gaga before mama! So fun! Made my day!

I am thinking about Sawyer making the transition to his room over Thanksgiving break. He now calls my name during the night! I am torn because I am not sure if I am ready for him to leave, but I am ready for a peaceful night of sleep! While he sleeps thru, every little noise he makes wakes me up! And yet the sounds reassure me at the same time! So we'll see!
