Sawyer 4-5 months

At his 4 month visit he was 14 lbs, 7 ozs (25%), 25" (45%) long, and has a big head at 43cm (75%):)

He got his first two teeth on the bottom; one on December 7th and the other on December 21st. 

He doesn't like to nap, but sleeps well at night as long as he is swaddled. He still wakes up 2-3 times to eat. I think the fact that he was teething so early caused him to wake more often as well. 

He loves being in his carrier, although he likes to be flipped out now rather than facing in. And he continues to scream in the car and car seat.

Sawyer is such a happy boy. His favorite song is Twinkle, Twinkle and he likes Patty Cake and when I bounce him on my knee. He loves to watch his sisters run around and coos all the day long except when he is tired or hungry and then he feels the need to tell the world about it. 

He wants to eat his hands and tries to put both fists in when he can.

And we discovered our feet and like to put those in our mouth too. Yummy.

He is starting to play with toys and no surprise, put everything in his mouth. 

I am so in love with this little guy. 

New Year's Eve

New Years Eve we had our own family celebration. We had sparkling apple cider, played games with glow sticks and had a dance party. We also sat down and talked about our family theme for the year (A Happier Family) and our goals to get there.

Enjoying the glow of the tree for the last time.

We made our own photobooth.

Happy New Year!!!

Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve with Jason's mom's side of the family. We had a delicious dinner and then did gift exchanges. 

The tree after Santa came. 

My 3 presents.

Sawyer's first Christmas

Laneah screamed over every present. It was good to see her excited, but the screaming got old fast.

While Laneah tore through present after present, Brooklyn took her time. It is so funny to see their different personalities. 

Sawyer watched his sisters and then it was his turn. He wasn't sure what to think at first, but did get a little ripping of the paper in. 

He loved Brooklyn's Elsa doll. 

We got a couple of movies for Christmas, so that night we watched the Lego Movie together as a family. Jason came through this year and got me a big heating blanket and a spa gift card for a manicure, pedicure, and a full body massage. Lucky me:)

It was a wonderful Christmas.
