3 Month Update

On March 22nd, Sawbaby celebrated his 3 month birthday!  This month has been so much fun, although I feel like I say that on every update.  He is starting to develop a personality, and smiles a lot.  I love it; seriously, I can't get enough!  I can usually be found acting really silly in the attempt to get him to laugh.  We haven't heard our first little giggle yet, but I know it is right around the corner.  Sawyer loves to stand up (with support, of course).  He is turning into a little wiggle worm.  The other night, I went to check on him in his crib and he had completely turned himself all the way around.  He didn't have a doctor's checkup this month, so I am not exactly sure how much he weighs as of right now, but I can tell you this...he is getting heavier.  My arms are starting to get a real workout, which I'm pretty happy about, since I have had absolutely no time to go to the gym while trying to balance being a momma and wife, working full time, and going to grad school. 

This month we were blessed to have my mom/ Sawyer's Nana come to stay with us for a week.  Since Mom is terrified of flying, she decided to take the train, which was a first for anyone in our family.  She got on the train late Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa, after spending the night at Chris and Whitney's.  Steven and I picked her up the following afternoon in Raleigh (she had a layover in Greensboro, which is whole other story in itself). We were so excited to see her, and felt so blessed to have her come and keep Sawyer for the week because his sitter, Mrs. Myrtle, went to the mountains with her husband and friends.

Mom spent the week getting in a lot of quality Nana/Sawyer time while me and Steven were at work during the day.  She was a welcomed guest, especially considering that I came home to a cooked meal, clean house, and folded laundry, not to mention a well cared for little baby every day!  She is great with him and I always learn so much from her every time she visits.

Month 3 has been so much fun.  He grows more and more every day; it's crazy.  I am trying to stay in the moment and take in each development of his growth, instead of rushing him to the next thing.  I still can't believe he is mine!  God has blessed us so abundantly!
