Our Boy

Happy Baby

this was taken about 2 weekends ago when we went through the galaxy of lights. basically a walk through of lots of Christmas lights. sawyer started off sleeping and then he woke up. don't let this picture deceive you though. after about 5 min of the happy baby he got really mad because he had gas.

A Boy and his Bell

my parents had their Christmas tree up this weekend when we went to see them for thanksgiving. they put it up for sawyer because he loves to look at lights. this one little bell on one of the bottom branches held his attention and he loved it. he would sometimes involuntarily hit is but this one time he actually held onto is and pulled it off of the tree. we put it back on but he kept doing it. it was so funny. i love how babies amuse themselves.

Sleepy Baby

i love this about him. this is how my baby boy sleeps. it's great!

Praise for Poop

so on sunday we went to sunday school and of course little guy came with us. he really loves to throw us off schedule too. we try to feed him right before we leave for church but he always manages to eat once we get there. no big deal we adjust. so i fed him once we got to sunday school. our sunday school class was somewhat different this week. it was definitely a cleansing of the soul. there were tears shed and problems spoken about. instead of our typical lesson we had a discussion time and lots of prayer. after my hubby opened with prayer we kept if open for anyone to pray. as people are praying i'm smelling something and just know that it's baby boys gas. i'm thinking oh know somethings coming. and sure enough after a couple of people are done praying and there is that silence he decided it was his turn and he let loose. over and over again. it was to much for everyone we laughed till we were crying. it was a much need time of laughter and my hubby praise God for His perfect timing and the much needed humor and our class definitely need at that moment. it truly was great. i never thought we would be giving praise for poop. poor little guy was laying in my arms looking around like "...what's so funny? why is everyone laughing?" he had the sweetest innocent face too. it was great.
