Six.

Sawyer Lee,
You are six months old today. I sound like my mom when I say, "I feel like I had you yesterday."

You are such a happy baby. Your smile truly melts my heart.
You love your sister.
I often catch you staring at me from across the room. (you know where your food comes from:)
You love love to kick your legs.
You are totally content to sit in your car seat for hours.
You are not attached to your pacifier like your sister was.
You are officially in the "crying-it-out" stage of sleep training. I hope it proves to make you as good of a sleeper as SiSi is.

I confess I was nervous about having a boy after having my sweet Siena, I didn't know if I would feel as connected to you...boy, was I wrong. You are a light in our home and the most easy-going, happy, smiley, chunky-thighed boy on the block. I love you to pieces.

I pray that the verse we chose for your announcements would be true your whole life long- "that He would command His angels concerning Sawyer to guard you in all your ways."
Happy six months.

OK made me wish I had a boy. But I've got two of the greatest sons in law so I'm blessed.

Happy 6 months Sawyer. You are precious and will grow to bless others with the parents you have.

Good job mom and dad. You have a beautiful son.
