7 months

This was a good month for Sawyer. A tooth finally came in. He figured out how to crawl (although in the opposite direction of where he wants to go). And he had his first Halloween. He went as a skeleton. Then we he got his skeleton outfit dirty, he went as a pumpkin.

(if you click on this picture to enlarge it you can see his tooth. Unfortunately he only shows it when he's crying!)

Sawyer's 6 month check up

We had Sawyer's 6 month check up this weekend. He is 26" long and 16.75 lbs. This puts him a little over the 25th percentile in weight and the 50th percentile in height. Chris asked the doctor how tall he would be as an adult at this rate... she laughed at this question because it's such an estimate but she said 5'10".

Here are a few more pics from the past few weeks:

Sawyer "in action"

Here are some pictures of Sawyer "in action." We'll replace our video camera soon. Until then we have these photo series.

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."

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.
