July Update

Dear Sawyer,

You have been busy this month! You can easily go from sitting to standing and are walking so well now. You like to walk to the kitchen (you love food!) and I melt every time you walk toward me and fall into my arms or when you walk into my legs and then hug them. I also love how excited you get when you walk longer and longer distances; you giggle and squeal and are clearly proud of how well you're walking!

You have 7 adorable little teeth now (all the better to eat your favorite fruits, blueberries, watermelon and grapes) and you always want to eat what I'm eating, especially if it's a bread or roll of some sort. But you still aren't a fan of cow's milk and only drink maybe 1 ounce a day, when you should be drinking 15-20! Come on, dude! (Some mothers breastfeed their kids until they're 5 years old but your mama will most certainly not be doing that.)

You love upbeat music and when I turn on a good dance song, you dance by swaying back and forth and pointing your fingers up in the air. You love JieJie, hug her a lot and can even say, "Li-ah." But you get jealous when you see her sitting on my lap and immediately come over and try to squeeze onto my lap, too. Oh, dear.

Love,
Mom
