Sawyer is 6 Months!


We can't believe that Sawyer has been around for half a year already! The time with the second child goes way faster than with the first. It is amazing! I took Audrey and Sawyer to the doctors yesterday for their check ups. They let me do Audrey's 3 year a little early so I'd only have to go in once. I hate taking 2 kids to the doctors, I'm sure you all remember when Audrey tried to beat up the little boy that didn't speak English. After that experience I get a little nervous. Sawyer is an even 18 lbs and 27 inches long. His giant head is in the 90% but his weight and length are only in the 60%. Ben always said he wanted a pumpkin head. Luckily Audrey's growth has slowed down a bit. She only gained about 3 lbs over the past year and grew only 2 inches. She's 32 lbs and 36 1/2 inches. I was getting worried she was going to grow to over six feet at the rate she was going! The docs visit was uneventful other than having to collect a urine sample from Audrey, that was an adventure. They both look great and got a clean bill of health.
Sawyer isn't really doing a whole lot of new things. He gets up on all fours and doesn't move. He looks pretty funny with his giant head when he does that. I'm sure he won't move for a while considering his head is as big as his body! He rolls around both ways. He tries to sit up from a laying position by doing a sit up. He can't make it up though, once again I think it's the giant head. Ben says that Sawyer can do more sit ups than he can. He loves to eat rice cereal. His other favorites are carrots and sweet potatoes. He makes tons of funny noises and squeals. I love listening to that!

Looks like crawling is imminent if he can hold up that giant gourd.
