Happy 7 Months!

Tons of Fun!

Sawyer enjoyed being an elephant for his first Halloween. :)We started the day off at Jeremiah's office to show off our little elephant.


Then we met up with some friends to parade around downtown Glendora!

Aiden, Sawyer, Emily, Sadie & Wyatt

We went trick-or-treating with our small group in the evening.


I'm sure these two will thank us one day for this picture.


Paul already called dibs on this costume next year.


When I said "we" went trick-or-treating I meant Sadie went trick-or-treating for all 8 of us!

Attention Grandma Peggy!

3 Quick Trips!

Sawyer has already been on 3 roadtrips in his short little life! All three were just one night trips. It's amazing how much stuff you justify bringing when you have a baby!

Trip #1 - In mid August, Nene, Auntie Tiff, Uncle Sam, Zeke, Olive, Sawyer and I drove up to Yosemite to surprise Papa on Walkabout. He was celebrating his 25th year as a guide!!

Uncle Sam did a good job keeping Sawyer entertained in the car. I think they get along so well because they look exactly alike.


Thank goodness for O and her great driving skills!


Uncle Jon set up a fake meeting at the Pizza Factory and we walked in and surprised Papa. :)


At the agape service




Trip #2 - For my birthday Jeremiah surpised me with tickets to a Sugarland concert in Vegas. He thought through every last detail including asking my parents to take Sawyer overnight! That was our plan until the week of the concert came and I realized I wasn't quite ready to leave the little bean.
So...

Auntie Kari came to the rescue and came with us to watch Sawyer during the concert!
Boy did we get a lot of looks for bringing a baby to Vegas!

We stayed at the Monte Carlo and had an awesome view of the party people at the pool. They all made us a tad bid uncomfortable but were truely fascinating to watch.


We walked around the strip for a very short time since it was well over 100 degrees


and ate at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay before the concert.


It's a lot of work being a Scully boy.


On Sunday we stopped by The Bellagio to take a look at the chocolate fountain!


Sawyer was ready to hit the road and begin our LONG drive home.


It was a fun trip and a great concert!!

Trip #3 - Sawyer attend his first Wallace Family Reunion in September!


Meeting Aunt Mary :)


And a not so great family picture!

A First...Rice Cereal!

Sawyer has always enjoyed mealtime so it was no surprise to us when he ate rice cereal like a pro!







We didn't even try cleaning him up with a washcloth, in the bath he went!

your dad
your dog
moving around! You pull your legs up under you when you're on your tummy, you want to crawl SO bad. Everytime I catch you doing this, I pull them out from under you. I'd like to pretend you're a newborn for just a little longer.
chewing and licking EVERYTHING!
your johnny jump-up

All Dressed Up!

We attended my cousin Amy's wedding this past weekend and our boy was looking so handsome! I had a talk with Sawyer about not growing up. He assured me he will stay a baby forever and will always let me dress him like a man.


Thanks for letting us borrow your tie Wyatt!

Sunday

Our Sunday afternoon started like this...

and then Jeremiah had a brillant idea to take Sawyer to the Arboretum! We had a great time!
