GRANDPARENTS

Sawyer isn't eating cereal yet, but I put up his highchair and he loves it!
Fresh from the tub!

I'm a happy boy!

Plumber's crack anyone?

Sawyer with Grandma Allred

I think all these grandparents can't get enough of this little man and he loves all of them so much! He's spoiled rotten! But, I like it that way. He's such a fun little guy and he's learning to roll all over!

I'm so greatful that we have such great families that live close to us. I feel so fortunate that I didn't have to go back to work full time and only work 2 or 3 days a week. Jeremy's mom, Sawyer's Grandma Natalie watches him on Mondays and then his Aunt Janica watches him on Tuesdays, plus my mom Grandma Allred watches him every other Saturday for us. I feel so blessed to have such great friends and family close. It sure makes life fun to have so many people around that love our little Sawyer man. Sawyer turned 4 months on the 20th of April and we took him to his doctor appointment. Our little tank has grown to be 19 pounds 5 ounces and 27.5 inches long. We can't believe it! Doctor said we can start him on cereal in a couple weeks if we want. I'll be sure to get some funny pictures of that :-) Everything else looks great. He's happy and healthy. Apparently, I'm just feeding him cream and he's loving it!

Growing Boy

I just had to show how chubby Sawyer is getting. Look at those thighs!
This is our nephew Trae, he is Jeremy's sister Janica's little boy. I watch him on Wednesdays, he is such a character! Makes me laugh the whole time he's at our house.

This is what Jeremy does for like 2 days after he gets home from working his 8 day shift. He's so wiped out. Our dog Jax is so happy when he gets home too, so that someone will play with her.

My cousing Jessie had a new baby boy (Zayden) on Tuesday and we went to visit while she was still in the hospital. We can't believe that Sawyer was that small! Time flies!

Soon Jax will like Sawyer more. For right now, I think she just wonders who this little person is that has invaded her life and taken all her attention. Poor dog! :-)

I think I'm doing better about keeping my blog updated then I thought I would. I just wanted to post a few random pictures of Sawyer and show everyone how big he is getting. We got some new pictures taken of him last week with his cousins Gage & Parker, so I will post those when I pick them up this weekend. I got him a new Easter outfit and took a picture of him in it on my phone, so I need to get a memory card to upload those pictures on. Jeremy and I decided that we might new 2 cameras since he keeps taking ours with him out of town and then I don't have anything but my phone to take Sawyer pictures with all week. So, maybe we can work on that some time soon! :-) Hope everyone had a good Easter!!

Oregon

Lots of trees

Can't forget to get the UPRR truck in a picture :-)


Jeremy said it rained alot there, but everything is green & pretty

Sawyer has a new fascination with his fingers, they are constantly in his mouth and making him droole all day, as you can see from his shirt.

He's getting so good at holding up his little head & sitting in his bumbo. Aren't those chubby legs and feet just so funny?

Jeremy just got home from Oregon last night and took some really pretty pictures, so I thought I would do another post with some of those. Also, some funny pictures of Sawyer. He's getting so big! 3 months old! Where does the time go? He is about 15 weeks now and I weighed him on the scale the other day and he is about 19 pounds! Such a tank! At least I don't have to worry about doing any arm exercises anytime soon :-)

Family

Girls & Babes

The Cousins: Jayvia, Trae & Sawyer

Sorry everyone! My computer was having issues the last couple of days and wouldn't upload my pictures, so I'm barely posting them now. They turned out so cute!

Family Pictures

We got some family pictures taken when Brittany was here and we just got them back. They turned out so cute! Thought I would post a few on here for everyone to see. There sure are alot of cute babies this year! Crazy how much things can change in one year. I feel bad cuz my family wanted to do pictures when my brother Wes was here in December since he lives in China right now. But, I was huge & then after Sawyer was born we didn't want to take him out till he was a bit older to get pictures taken. So, next time Wes is here, we've gotta have pictures for sure! Its nice to get ones of your families as they get bigger. Sorry Mom!! :-)

Hi everyone! Looks like I might be one of those people who update their blog once a month. Sorry! :-) We are doing great! Sawyer is growing & growing. I think he's trying to catch up with his daddy! He is almost 12 weeks now and the time has gone so fast. At his 9 week doctor appointment, he weighed 16 pounds 11 ounces and was 25 inches long. He is such a little tank! He smiles & chats with me all day. So fun! We blessed him on March 1st while Brittany was here and Jeremy also got to bless Jayvia. That was so neat! We had a really great day and Jeremy did an awesome job! It was so fun having all our friends and family there to share with us. I'm starting back to work this coming week-so wish me luck! :-) Only 2 days though, so it will probably just be nice to get out and have some adult conversation. We found out this week that Jeremy is moving to another gang with Union Pacific located in Portland and will be traveling 8 days and then home for 6 days. I think it will take some getting used to, but in the long run, will work out great. Having him home for that many days in a row will be nice. Here are some updated pictures of Sawyer!

Sawyer likes to sleep with his hands above his head just like his daddy :-)
Sawyer is getting so long!

He still has all his crazy, curly hair!

I love being a mommy!!

Ok, so I had to get help with my blog from my sister-in-law, Amy, and now I'm ready to go. Its a bit more complicated then I thought. Sawyer is getting so big and changing every day! We don't see the doctor again until Feb 20th, but we are figuring he weighs about 11 1/2-12 pounds now and is about 23-24 inch long. He is trying to smile and gives you the cutest open mouth smiles you have ever seen! :-) We are enjoying being parents so much! I'm really dreading going back to work, but I still got a few more weeks to be home with the little guy. I can't believe that 7 weeks have already gone by since he was born. Now I really know that time flies. I could not be happier being a mom; its the best job in the world!
