Dear Sawyer,
GuhGaw started sleeping through the night when he was 4 months old and JieJie has always slept through the night, even when she was a newborn. But you, my youngest child, you are almost 10 months old and still waking up every 2 to 3 hours at night. *siiiiiiigh* Except last night! You slept in your crib from 11:30pm to 4:30am, at which point I woke up to silence and wondered why you hadn't woken up crying (I wake up when you cry and I wake up when you don't cry because if you're not crying when you're usually crying, I'm scared something is wrong--that is being a mom!). And you must have heard my thoughts because a second after I thought that, you woke up crying. Doh!
Love,
Mom

Waving Bye
Dear Sawyer,
You just learned how to clap a few days ago and now you clap all the time when you are happy, when I say "Yaaaaay!" and when I do random things like shut the refrigerator door (I guess I do do a pretty good job of closing the door, huh? :-P ).
You also wave goodbye a lot, even when you're busy! I was nursing you on the couch tonight and JieJie was sitting next to us and doing FaceTime with GongGong. When you heard them saying bye to each other, you waved bye as you continued nursing. Haha! So cute!
Love,
Mom

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Dear Sawyer,
I just booked a location for your first birthday party because you are somehow turning 1 year old in a few months . . . wha? This year is going by so fast and you are growing so big and you are acquiring so many new traits every week! Your most recent ones:
-You have outgrown your 9-months-sized clothing and currently fit into 12-months clothes.
-You can crawl pretty quickly now, so Daddy had to install a baby gate in the doorway of your room.
-When I come into your room while you are playing on the floor, you immediately crawl over to me, grab my legs and pull yourself up.
-You wave goodbye to people when they are leaving the house.
-You recognize your pediatrician as that big man who gives you the painful shots, so you start to panic and whimper as soon as you see him enter the exam room.
-You can stand up on your own for a few seconds.
-You like baths so much that you cry when I take you out of them.
-You like me so much that you cry when I leave the room.
-I often sing "If You're Happy And You Know It" to you and make you clap your hands at the right spots in the song. Today, you clapped at the right spots all on your own!
Love,
Mom

First Tooth
Dear Sawyer,
You were a whole lotta cranky the other night and barely slept but for a good reason: Your first tooth is coming in! I can feel the tiny sharp tip of it when I run my finger along your bottom gum. You have noticed it, too, and have been cutely playing with it all day with your tongue!
Love,
Mom

Headbanger
Dear Sawyer,
Last night, I was holding you and accidentally banged your head on the wall when we were turning the corner to go into my bedroom. This morning, I was holding you and accidentally hit your head on another wall when we were coming out of your bathroom. I am so so so sorry. I suck :-(
Love,
Mom
