The Bassett's: Sawyer

Since I haven't been blogging or keeping a personal journal (I know, I know, I should!) I have been mising out on remembering the cute/silly/embarassing/times that make me crazy things that I am so quickly forgetting - and want to remember! So with out further adieu here are the things that I want to remember about Sawyer!

Sawyer is 16 months old and weighs about 26 pounds
Sawyer loves, loves, loves cell phone - well I suppose she loves all phones, but mostly phones that work!
She likes to look at books, and will sit for a short second for you to read to her!
She can sign the word more and says "mu mu" as she is telling me she wants more of something.
she can say no, and means no!
She knows how to throw a tantrum and does the full out throw herself on the ground tantrum when she doesn't get her way!
She gives "high fives"
She knows where her nose and belly button are, and when we say another facial feature like eyes or mouth she is only interested in the nose!
She is not always innocent! When her and Lauren are playing together and Sawyer cry's, I used to automatically blame Lauren - but I am learning that Sawyer is just crying to try to get her way!
She is turning over a new leaf and has become a little more independant and doesn't cry when I leave her with someone else!
Her Aunt Aimee says that she passed her screening test with flying colors! (I'm not bragging, just teasing Aimee)
Sawyer likes to scribble with crayons, pens, pencils - whatever she can get ahold of, and surprisingly she holds the crayon correctly.

My thought is, that if you think that one child is great - have another! It is amazing the difference in each child and how much the older sibling influences the younger one and vice versa!

Another thing I have learned with having two children is that you think your first child was amazing and did things that you thought no other child probably did. Then your second child comes around and does those same things and you learn that most all children hit those amazing milestones! But I suppose we must still brag about our little ones!!

Sister Sawyer just chillin on the couch!

I would like to say that this next picture is taken right before bed time or even early in the morning when they woke up.. but this was one of those days where it took us until about 10 o'clock until we finally got out of pajamas!
