we love our cousins!

hadleigh and sawyer spent the day playing with katie and leah today -- they had so much fun! so much fun that they both were out cold as soon as we got in the car to drive home and went to bed without any fuss! we're sure going to miss our cousins when we move to the windy city...

happy sunday.

5 1/2 months.

sawyer is 5 1/2 months old now! i meant to write this when he was 5 months old, but i obviously forgot. sawyer is finally getting big and is all over the place! he never really is still. he's rolling all over the place and sitting up for a little bit by himself. he sits in the tripod position for a few seconds, then gets distracted and falls over reaching for toys. he also 'scoots' places, but only uses his stomach and the side of his face to scoot. he actually gets pretty far that way. he loves chewing on his fists and hanging out with mama. hadleigh is by far his favorite person though. he also discovered the dog this week and has taken a liking to pulling his ears. he's wearing 3-6 month clothes and weighed 13 pounds 2 ounces at the doctor yesterday. i'm pretty sure that knocks him off the growth chart, but he's definitely making progress. he has starting eating baby food and is going so great! bananas and squash are the favorites. baby food is currently on hold because we are on day 3 of a head to toe polka dotted rash. not sure if it was from baby food or a soap that we used right before the rash. that, along with his eczema all up his arms and his face that i can't get under control, won him upcoming trips to the dermatologist and allergist! i'm sure we'll get him figured out soon enough...
