I want to be a DJ when I grow up...




I was in the kitchen and noticed that Sawyer was being really quiet. I had put in a CD for him to listen too, but he decided that he wanted to change the song. So this is how I found him. He is clever with his climbing skills. He actually managed to put the song on REPEAT so we listened to the same song over and over!

Snow Boots...




We had these in the closet. They were hand me downs from the neighbor. It was blowing snow yesterday, so I thought I would let Sawyer wear these around the house. He was so funny trying to walk in them. He thought he was cool!

Christmas on Main...

We enjoyed Christmas on Main. Brandon and Jenny joined us for the night. We ate pizza and looked at the lights. Sawyer did not like Santa as you can see. He wanted to be far away from him.






Annual Party at the Stewarts...



Trent and Sawyer playing on the couch!


Ivy is still unsure, but Sawyer seems to be just fine with the hugging!


Giving love...Sawyer is all for it, but Ivy is a little unsure.


Hmmm....I think I may like him...I'm not sure?

Hanging out on the couch!Some were happy and some were not so happy!



Sawyer was so excited to open a ball. He loves putting the shapes in the ball.

Ministry Fair...



This was back in October. Leah and I were a part of the ministry fair at Long's Chapel. We are each a big part of the puzzle.

Twins...



Well...we can't deny that Sawyer looks just like his Daddy.

Check out Sawyer the big HAM!

Shopping Trip...




We went to Commerce shopping. We stayed overnight and had a blast swimming in the pool. We even had fun packing up our luggage.

Stacking Raisins...




Sawyer loves to stack things. As you can see, he gets really mad when they fall.

Sawyer loves to ride the lawn mower. He even falls asleep on the mower. I will be able to show Saw all the places he could sleep when he grows up!

Hangin out with Daddy...




Daddy and Sawyer enjoy playing with trains, cars, and trucks in Sawyer's bedroom. Look at Sawyer, he looks so grown up!

Fine Motor Skills...






Well, as many of you know I am 5 classes away from having my Master's Degree in Birth to Kindergarten-Teaching. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing! As I've been taking classes it seems that I am learning so much because I get to be a new Mama along the way. Sawyer became fascinated with quarters at Mema's house and he wanted to pick them up and put them in Uncle Kenzie's bank. So now he has discovered that his Clemson football is also a bank. He goes into his room and points until I get the football down and allow him to drop the coins one by one. I love that he enjoys doing this becasue I see how well his fine motor skills are improving (I know...I'm a nerd). Anyway it is crazy how I think about development now that I am constantly researching hot topics and getting experience first hand too. I have also realized that children develop so differently. Even though I read all of this research and do papers...I'm convinced to just let Sawyer guide me in his learning. He is such a little explorer and I love that. I sound so nerdy...but I really do not focus on his development but am constantly amazed at how Sawyer explores on his own!

What a Little Ham...




This is what you get when you ask Sawyer to show his teeth!!
