Dallas Arboretum

Yesterday Sawyer and I went to the Dallas Arboretum with Matt's cousin's Kristi and Shana along with their kids: Emerson, Nola, Shayden and Bishop. It was a lot of fun the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Sawyer did a great job riding around in the stroller and looking at the flowers. For lunch Sawyer enjoyed his first picnic and touching grass for the first time. Immediately after lunch when Sawyer got back in the stroller he fell asleep for the rest of the Arboretum trip. Sawyer's fourth tooth (front right one) finally came through on Sunday! Enjoy some pictures from our trip:

Music.. MOPS.. Friends.. Church

Sawyer and I have been having a lot of fun this past week. We went to music class on Tuesday, Sawyer loved playing the drum and the teacher let him stay after class again to playa little bit longer. On Wednesday we went to MOPS for the first time. The girls there were all really sweet and I chose a good day to go for the first time. We did a scavenger hunt instead of having a speaker, which gave me a chance to get to know the girls a little better. Sawyer did a great job in the daycare I was never paged and the ladies taking care ofhim said he had a lot fun. He even ate cheerios for the first time during snack time. Also on Wednesday night one of my bestfriends from back in Omaha came to visit, Cat. She was in town with her boyfriend for a wedding and spent a lot of time with me and Sawyer. She kept getting Sawyer up on his hands and knees to work on his crawling skills. I think it paid off, he's been getting on his hands and knees and rocking ever since then, plus he is scooting himself all over the place. On Friday Sawyer and I went to Frisco (30 min away) where Cat andMike were staying and met them for lunch. Sawyer had a lot of fun playing with Cat and Mike. Saturday my friend Brittany from Hastings College came over and we went out to dinner, watched a movie, and played with Sawyer. He slept good that night, I think we wore him out. Then on Sunday we got up and went to church for the first time. I triedthe church where I go for MOPS andI really liked it a lot. Sawyer had to go to the daycare again and within 20 minutes I was paged. Sawyer started to cry because another little girl in the class was crying. I calmed indown and then took him back to try again. This time he stayed in there until the end of church. When I picked him up the ladies taking care of him said he had a lot of fun reading books, looking at the big kids outside on the playground, and playing with the toys on the ground. She did say that whenever another kid cried he would cry too, but they were able to calm him down. She told me she thinks he is going to be sensitive :). He's been so sensitive since he was born, I'm pretty sure she is right. Little Man's feelings get hurt easily.
