Random Thoughts

Some random thoughts for the day...

• Today is the first day Sawyer crawled across the room to me. Over the last month she has moved more and more, first starting with spinning around to get toys, then moving backwards, but today she did the full army crawl/inchworm forward about 6-7 feet from where she was on our rug to where i was at the table. I was working on my computer so perhaps she didn't think her crying was being answered quick enough and decided to take matters into her own hands this time. She's not fully up crawling on hands and knees, but i'm guessing that's next until she masters this whole walking thing.

• Sawyer has taken to her non-musical stuffed animals lately. She has Porter (her giant dog) and Curious George in the family room with her toys. She stares at their faces/eyes and goes into fits of laughter - i love it! She typically goes in and "kisses" their nose. I need to get her and George on tape because he can really get her laughing.

• Sawyer does not like hair dryers or the vacuum. I find this is funny - everyone told me she would love them b/c it's white noise, but the girl looks terrified when they're on. Mark vacuumed last weekend and Sawyer insisted on being held, and basically dug into my neck until it was turned off.

• We think Sawyer may have started to say mama. She's only said it a few times but she typically repeats it after mark. This is how she started out with dada, so although she doesn't yet use it for me, i'm glad she can make the sound now.

• We've got some fun things planned the next few days, including visits with family and friends so we'll checkback in at the end of the weekend. Cross your fingers it's nice weather because we want to spend time outside!
