Recently Sawyer turned six months old. We can't believe how quickly he is growing up. He is changing and definately getting cuter every day. Here are his stats and some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Weight: 16.5 pounds (16th percentile)
Rolls all over the place in both directions
Army crawls
Says dadadadada, nanananana, babababab, and mamamamama
Smiles and laughs all of the time
Eats everything
Bites (he has four teeth already)
Loves nanas, strawberries, peaches, corn, applesauce, carrots, raspberries and green beans
Is the cutest baby in the world!!!

Pictures!

Everything here is going well. We have just been busy, busy, busy as usual. I just finished another one of my classes for my Masters degree. I only have one left to take in the summer and then I am done. Tate is finishing up with his Masters in the fall as well.

Sawyer is doing great. He is five months this week and I can't believe how fast he is growing. He has grown almost five inches since his two month check up and he went from the 21st percentile in height to the 78th. He rolled over for the first time (front to back) at three months and just last week he started rolling from his back to his front. He has also started to scoot on his belly like a caterpillar. We are anticipating the day that he will start crawling. We started him on solid foods last week as well and he is really enjoying them. We love this little boy so much.

I know I promised these in my last post so here they are!!!

Quick Update!

So I realize that I have failed to post in a long time, but with the holidays, school and a new baby I have just been way too busy. I am sure you all know that little Sawyer arrived in October--the 26th to be exact at 8:04 pm after fourteen hours of labor. He was six pounds eight ounces and has been a joy from the start. He really is a good-natured baby. He has been laughing and smiling since he was about a month old and he started sleeping through the night a couple weeks ago. We love him so much and are thankful for the joy that he brings into our lives.

The holidays were great this year. It is always nice to have the family together. We opened presents Christmas morning and then had a delicious breakfast cooked by the men in the family. We also had our annual cookie cook-off. I was sure that I was going to win for the third year in a row with my delicious somoa cookies but I was beaten by a non-Leavitt--no hard feelings Danna!! That same night the girls also rocked the boys world in the traditional trivial pursuit match. It was also nice to be able to relax and catch up on sleep as all of the aunts were fighting over who got to hold Sawyer:) Over new year's weekend we also had Sawyer's baby blessing. It was beautiful and again nice to see all of our family.

I had to return to work last week after a ten week break. It was extremely hard--especially to leave my baby. But grandma Leavitt is watching him so that makes it easier. I also start school again in a week. I have three more classes to get my Masters so I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to be done and see where life takes us after that. Tate is busy also. He will finish his Masters in Bilingual Education this summer.

Well I had every intention of posting pictures when I started typing this post but now I am just too tired. Pictures to come soon I promise!!!

Baby and Anniversary

Well, we have two newsworthy items to report today. The first, and most exciting, is that we had another ultra sound today. The doctor checked everything and said that it all looks great. He also said that the placenta has attached to the very front of my belly and that my baby is trapped behind it for the time being. We didn't get very good ultrashound shots but here is a video for your enjoyment. I am 24 weeks along now and getting more and more excited with every passing day. I have stared working on the nursery, but am not getting as much done as I would like because I am still going to school for six hours a day. However, I will be done in three weeks and then I can completely focus on baby stuff--I can't wait.

We also celebrated our 5th anniversary this past week. I can't believe that it has been five years since we got married. Here are some of the major events in our lives over the past five years and some pictures of our wonderful wedding day!
