Week 5 Update

This week has been a great week. Sawyer has been smiling for about two weeks but yesterday he smiled in response to us for the first time. Today we've gotten a handful of smiles out of him. He has also started napping in his crib (as opposed to his co-sleeper in our bedroom). Basically he gets cooler every day.

We also had his first photo shoot. The pics are below.

Week 4

We can't believe Sawyer is 4 weeks old!

His 4th week was an eventful one! It has been very hot in the Bay Area. Kelly, Jonathon and Natalie came over and we ate outside. It was so hot Sawyer spent a few days only wearing a diaper.

We also took Sawyer to the "Baby Brigade" in El Cerrito. The El Cerrito Speakeasy is a dinner theatre that accomodates to babies under 1 year old in on Tuesdays. The theatre is packed with babies and parents. Halfway through the movie we looked around and saw several dads standing along the outside pacing with their babies in one hand and their beers in the other. Sawyer slept through "I Love You Man." Next week it's "Observe and Report."

On Thursday we had a reunion of our prenatal group. It was really neat to see all the babies and hear everyone’s birth stories. We took a really cute picture of all of the babies.

Here are a few pictures from the week and a video of Sawyer trying to get his binky back into his mouth and sneezing instead. Enjoy!

Week 3

Week 3 brought a growth spurt, baby acne, cradle cap and we learned Sawyer can float.

Here are some new pics and a video of Sawyer waking up.

Good Morning...

...Happy Easter

Week 2

This week, Sawyer met Grandma and Grandpa Colchin. According to Grandma, the pictures don't do justice to his cuteness.

Week 1

Tonight, Sawyer is a week old. It's been relatively uneventful in adult terms. But for someone who was thrown into the world 7 days ago, a lot has happened. He moved into a new house, met a dog, went for a ride in a car, had a bath and experienced a tiny earthquake.
