I know this is so cliche, but seriously, where does the time go?!?! How is it possible, that we awoke yesterday morning, and our little boy was a year old already? It seems like the girls were just coming down to the hospital in their pj's and slippers to see the newest addition to our family. Even Lainey commented today that she was thinking that it just didn't seem that long ago that Sawyer was only "this big." Now, he is crusin' all over the place...he doesn't have any desire to walk on his own yet...but he gets around just fine...crawling on all fours...or on his hands and feet if out on the cement...walking around furniture...walking behind push toys...climbing up and going backwards down the stairs (it's definitely nice not to have to worry about that anymore!)....testing the limits on just about everything and exploring the world as only he sees it right now. What was our life even like a year ago without him? Happy Birthday, our dear sweet boy. WE LOVE YOU!
It was a BEAUTIFUL Sunday, so we went to the park with Lainey and Sophie and met Cohen (who didn't want to be in a picture so had to be snapped in one running away) :-) and his cousin Madisen. We ate Lunchables and had cupcake cones to celebrate Sawyer's birthday (who really had no clue what was going on). :-)

Sawyer did enjoy his cupcake cone although he ate his without the frosting simply because it was so windy that the sand was flying everywhere....and yes, that is a little shiner on his cheek...it's just one of the many times he bumped his head...just happened that this time produced a bruise. :-) He loved the sand, the kids and climbing on the swing set and was more than ready for a bath and nap when we got home!
Surprisingly, Sawyer really didn't love his cupcake as much as the girls were sure that he would. He shuddered at his first lick of frosting, and as much as the girls tried to get the cupcake into his mouth all he really wanted to do was throw it onto the floor. He did occasionally lick his fingers, but overall, he just enjoyed the mess! (and all the noise and attention from the rest of us) :-)
After getting cleaned up from cake, the girls opened Sawyer's gifts, but that's where their help stopped. He quickly claimed control of his toys...especially his toy drum our neighbor's gave him. He LOVED it!
Overall it was a wonderful day...celebrating Sawyer and the true gift he is to all of us...his bright beautiful smile...easy-going laid back personality...and little person he becomes daily learning and growing and doing new things all of the time! I cannot even imagine what the next year holds in store for you little guy...what an adventure!!!!
