See-Saw

Daddy set up the trampoline and the boys are in hog heaven. It's amazing to see Sawyer in it now since he hasn't "jumped" in it since November. What a difference 5 months makes. Now he's really jumping!




20 months old and going strong, Sawyer James (aka See-Saw) is our little character. He's a bundle of energy, joy, fire and flame!!!! He jumps headfirst into any athletic endeavor, has a love affair with vacuums, tractors, lawnmowers, trucks, trains, tools, flags, babies, & Daddy's I-phone, loves to "read" countless books, tries to imitate ANYTHING that his brother does or says and can eat an entire apple (I mean the whole apple from skin to seed) in no time at all. Don't even think about trying to take the apple from him either! Sawyer's uses many sign and words to communicate (some easier to understand than others) and has started putting several words together..."Mo cheese peeaze." Some popular words are "no", "baby", "no", "please", "no", "book", "no", "on", "no", "cheese", "no", "flag", "no"...you get the drift!

The other day my youngest son and I were enjoying a few hours together (away from chores, to-dos, etc.), and I realized how much he has changed over the last several months. He's far from a baby anymore and it's hard to believe that Jack wasn't much older when we brought Sawyer home. Basking in the sun on the ND campus, Sawyer walked around while doublefisting his apple and sandwich and took in all the beauty of spring. He then looked at me, straddled a medium-size rock, and proceeded to pretend like he was flying/almost falling off the rock (sound effects and all..."woah!" It was such a little boy thing to do. Sawyer, your babyhood may be coming to an end, but I'll remember it forever.
