So Many Changes

Friday the 10th was Sawyer's first night in his crib. I know we waited awhile to put him in there. We had company until Sawyer was three weeks old and some one was always sleeping in his room. Instead of putting him in his crib afterwards like we should have, I got a little too attached to my buddy sleeping in the same room as me where I knew he was safe. He didn't like his crib the first night, he woke up about every hour and a half to every two hours. Saturday night (9/11/10) he slept five hours straight which was much better. However, Sunday night (9/12/10) we were back to Sawyer sleeping only a few hours at a time in his crib. Then on Monday night (9/13/10) he slept longer gain. Anway as you can tell we have had a consistent pattern lately of Sawyer sleeping long hours one night and short hours the next night.

On Sunday (9/12/10) Sawyer's bassinet was taken apart and put in the closet for storage. I also packed up his newborn baby clothes and put them away. My little man has officially outgrown some clothes and his little bassinet. He's is getting so big I can't believe it! Sawyer loves playing peek-a-boo lately, he smiles so big and will make a lot of noises. He makes different noises every day now and they seem to surprise him when a new one comes out that he hasn't made before. I enjoy watching his face look shocked. Sawyer also really enjoys having books read to him. He really likes his Bob the Builder book that we got from Bryan, Kattie, Blake, and Ellie. One night we read it three times because he kept smiling and "talking" to the book.

This week Sawyer has also discovered his hands a little more. He isn't looking at them yet. He does try to stick them in his mouth and suck on them all of the time. He gets relaxed by sucking on his thumb, or really any finger or fingers that get into his mouth. He still doesn't enjoy taking a bath and will scream the whole time he is in the tub. I hope that changes soon.

Changing Sawyer's diaper isn't too bad right now. He loves to lay on the changing table and look at me and smile the whole time I do it. All the smiles he gives me make changing a stinky diaper a little more fun. One thing that will make Sawyer relaxed is to sit outside in the evenings and swing together. He can sit completely still and look around for at least 45 minutes without crying. I'm amazed. Monday night Sawyer cried for 50 minutes straight, but when I walked outside with him to get something he immediately stopped crying. I think he will want to play outside a lot when he gets older.

Sawyer will be 2 months old tomorrow. I can't believe it, this past month has gone by so fast!
