Super Sawyer

I miss doing monthly posts about my little man.

And what a little man he has become! He will be 15 months old this week!!! 

God couldn't have made a sweeter little boy for us. He loves giving kisses. He will kiss just about anybody if they ask for it, he tries kissing the dogs, he kisses himself in the mirror & he kisses the phone when he talks to his grandparents & aunties. He's a mommas boy. He gives big, squeezing hugs & high fives. His giggle is the best, most amazing, happiest sound in the world!! :)

He is an expert walker now, and starting to be a little climber. He is in to EVERYTHING!!! He can make the biggest mess in a matter of seconds.

He likes throwing things in the trash - remotes, phones, toys - so our trash can is turned around backwards to keep him from opening it..for now. We recently changed out all our exterior door handles, they were latch style handles, because this busy body could let himself out. All the bathroom & bedroom doors stay shut to deter him from getting into things. 

When he gets in trouble, he throws himself in the floor. I call it a fit, but he doesn't ever cry. He just lays down for about 20 seconds, then gets up good to go. It's like he is giving himself a time out. I have no clue where or how he learned this, its just one of his own things I guess. I'll take it over a true screaming fit any day.

 

 His nickname "pretty boy" has stuck. It fits though. Poor guy gets called a girl every time we are out in public. It's getting to be pretty irritating, but what I actually find more offensive, is that people think I would have a baby girl out in public & NOT have her dressed in head to toe pink with all the frills & giant bows. Seriously. He wears plain ol' boring boy clothes. Blake & I joked that we are going to have to start dressing him in suit & tie everywhere we go from now on. :)

He doesn't say too many words yet, but he knows what just about everything we say to him means. He does a lot of "jibber jabbering". He will walk all around the house "talking" & he uses different tones like he's having a big conversation. He is going to be one of those people that talks with their hands too because they're always moving! ha! He has such a personality, & he's hilarious!

He is still really in to throwing balls. He is getting better at throwing the balls for the dogs to fetch....we just need to teach them how to bring the balls back to him, they're kind of possessive of all the balls around here. We do random searches for passies & balls around here. The other day, Blake moved the sofa & found 13 assorted balls! haha!

 I call him Super Sawyer now because of this oh' so cute shirt he got for Valentine's day.
