During his six month Sawyer:

• Went to summer science with mom where he got to go on field trips, take naps, witness the chaos that is 13-year-olds doing labs, and be loved on by the students.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Started sleeping in his crib, because he outgrew his bassinet. Otherwise, in all honesty, he'd probably still be in our room. He was sleeping through the night but then the transition brought on some struggles; mostly him rolling onto his face and then not being able to make it back.

I panicked watching him sleep like this but he seems to prefer it.

And it results in some pretty awesome morning face

Or his little limbs getting stuck between the slats- quickly remedied by breathable mesh bumpers.

We've made it back to him sleeping through the night almost every night though. He never wakes up to eat in the middle of the night anymore (and hasn't for a while) but every now and then he'll need his binky popped back in or to be flipped off of his face.

• Started rolling consistently from front to back..but I'm not sure it's intentional. He can roll to his stomach with ease and then fights to get to his back. Half the time he gets too frustrated and just rubs his face in the carpet and yells. (This becomes a problem at night as already mentioned).

• Picked up this cute quirk of rubbing/grabbing my arm while I change his diaper or get him out of his car seat.

• Started doing this lip trick after he's done eating.
  
  
  
  
• Went swimming for the first time. He seems to like it but definitely isn't all giggles about it.

We invested in this shaded pool float for him. Worth every penny.

• Met some more baby friends including Blair at the pool and Beckham at a lunch date.

• Started flapping all of his limbs when he gets excited- snow angel style. This is cause for a lot of blurry pictures.

• Discovered his flexibility allows for him to chew on his toes.

• Went camping for the first time and rocked it. Though it was camping with a cabin and mattress but still.

• Started appreciating his Bumbo more and lasting longer than two seconds in it.

• Played some catch with his dad. Heartmelting.
  
  
  
  This sweet boy is entirely lovable. Watching him grow and become more aware is so fun. The other day I was talking to him about my hope in teaching him to be kind to people and how I want him to grow up to be kind. He just sat and stared in my eyes while I talked and I swear he was taking it all in. I love him and our little family. Life is good.
