Gaylord ICE

We think Sawyer had a good time at the Gaylord ICE exhibit. It's hard to say though since he didn't move once. We had to wear heavy duty jackets in the exhibit that he hated, and therefore refused to move... even when he was going down the ice slide. The crew working the exhibit had to go up the slide to bring him down. We thought it was pretty amazing though!

Dallas World Aquarium

Fish are sort of confusing for Sawyer. When he seems them in real life they're above his head and moving in the air so he calls them birds. When he sees them in books he calls them the name for a female dog. The first picture is super blurry, I just think it's funny that he has no clue there is a shark swimming past his head.

Sawyers first gingerbread house

We had parents night out tonight. Sawyer made a gingerbread house and
ate gum drops and icing and who knows what else. Clearly he had a good
time. His gingerbread house is more of a candy coated Kleenex box...
But it truly made my night. Enjoy.

Our deck is in need of repair

This guy was highly recommended. (thanks aunt midge and uncle Tim for
the tool belt!)

Busted

I told Sawyer that he couldn't get out of bed again at nap time. So he
brought his toys to bed. Busted!

Sawyer-isms

Here are a few of my favorite new Sawyerisms:
His favorite song is the GNR version of Knockin on Heaven's Door. He likes saying "knock, knock, knock." It's super cute.
He calls Snuffy "No No Man." Since he has a big nose.
He pronounces his name "Loler."
He prefers to wear a jacket at all times. And, he likes to pop his collar.
He LOVES to brush his teeth.
He cheers for everyone when they potty now.
He has two speeds, dawdling and racing. When he races he likes to yell "go."
Apparently he needs half of a roll of toilet paper to wipe his nose. (see pictures below)

Halloween pics

Our introduction to Halloween in Oak Cliff was fun. It was a total circus. The sidewalks and streets were packed with kids. We had over 800 pieces of candy and ran out by 8:30. Sawyer had a blast, although he didn't seem to think it was different from any other day.

Happy Birthday Aunt Kelly!

18 month check up

Sawyer had his 18 month check up today. He is 31.5 inches tall (50th
percentile) and he weighs 21.5 lbs (5th percentile). Good news: more
avocado for Sawyer so he can put on a bit more weight before his 2
year appointment. Bad news: shots.
