Sawyer visits the midwest

Some pics from our midwest road trip. We started in Madison, WI. Then we spent a few days in Chicago. We rented a house for a couple of days on Lake Michigan. And we popped into Ann Arbor for a day before heading outside of Detroit for Royal and Sarah's wedding. We ate some really good food, drank some really good microbrews and saw good friends. Afterward, Em took Sawyer down to Texas for a few days.

Sawyer is a Cheese Head

After a long night we made it to Madison safe and sound. Sawyer is officially a cheese head! Tonight we're going to a Tex Mex place. Seems kind of strange to find a Tex Mex place in Madison, but we wouldn't turn down queso.

Our home was broken into on Friday and our cameras were stolen. So our photos won't be so great right now. We are planning to replace Chris's new camera as soon as possible and have already spotted a Best Buy!

5.5 Months Update

It's football season!

Sawyer is liking solids more and more! We can call this picture "gimme that."

Eat Real Festival

A few pics from our Saturday down on the waterfront in Oakland. 

We sampled some really good local food and microbrews.  

Sawyer had a good time laying in the grass.

Sawyer and Plums

Sawyer liked plums much more the second time he tried them. This time I combined the plums with a little quinoa rice cereal to dull down the tartness. We're making all of his food but the rice cereal. He still closes his right eye after each bite. I think that's his "sour" face. It's hard to record a video and feed him but I hope you catch it. Also, if you think watching a baby eat is gross. Don't watch.

More of Month 4

Sawyer started eating bananas this month. This means he also gets to start drinking water out of sippy cups. He likes the bananas and isn't sure what to think about the sippy cup.

He has started wearing a cloth/disposable diaper hybrid. So far we're really happy with it. They're really cute!

Sawyer continues to laugh a lot... but so far we can't catch it on the video camera.

We like these pictures taken back to back. They show how expressive he is.

Sawyer peekin'.

Unfortunately Sawyer has started rolling over during the night some too.

His favorite toys these days are his feet,

mom and dad,

his gym,

his bumbo,

and teething toys.
