Dear Sawyer,
I dropped a pretzel on the kitchen floor and you picked it up. I thought you were going to eat it (you have eaten off the floor many times before, sigh) but you threw it in the garbage can instead. Thanks for helping me, sweetie!
In other news, you have learned so many new words lately that I think this will be the last new-vocab update because there will be too many new words to keep track of going forward. The latest additions to your vernacular: quirrel (squirrel), cookie (as in the sweet treat and Cookie Monster), Ernie, Bir (as in Big Bird--your interest in Sesame Street has really grown!), house, rain, choo choo train, cat, horse, deer, ball, eye, ear, no (nose), arm, back, neck, tickle, axi (taxi), boat, wall, room, bed, oval, cuh-cle (circle), brush (you say this when I bring you your toothbrush), park, walk, the letters A, O and S, cool (school) and pider (spider). I can't believe how many words you are learning every day. Or that you will be 2 years old in two days!
Love,
Mom

Say Cheese!
Dear Sawyer,
You have unveiled two new behaviors recently. First, you now love posing for photographs and do so by plopping down on the floor, crossing your legs, folding your hands together in your lap and grinning from ear to ear while you say, "Cheeeeeese!" One time, you were watching TV and saw me carrying my camera into another room, so you actually climbed down from the chair and followed me because you wanted me to take a picture of you. And seriously, look how adorable your pose is!
Second, when you were standing in your crib tonight, I watched--and stood safely nearby--as you managed to lift your leg up onto the rail and hoist your body up so that you were balancing on top of it as if you were laying on a surfboard. Oh, uh uh. Bring in the toddler bed!
Love,
Mom

Main Interests
Dear Sawyer,
It's fun seeing what kinds of things interest you. You love animals and get excited when you see dogs, squirrels and birds. Two of your favorite books are Your Baby's First Word Will Be Dada and Moo Baa La La La, probably because you like seeing the animals and imitating their sounds (and we've read them both so many times, you can recite the words along with me). You also perk up around babies and say, "Awww, cuuue [cute]!" if you see one in a book or on TV.
You still have a very strong interest in cars, trucks, trains and planes and can spend long stretches in your room just pushing your toy vehicles around; you especially like to line them all up in a straight line. Lately, you've really been into firetrucks in particular and say, "Whew whew whew fi fi! Fi fi!" when you see one. You even get excited when I dress you in a T-shirt or pajamas with firetrucks on them and show them off to Daddy or your siblings by repeatedly pointing to the firetrucks and exclaiming, "Fi fi!"
Your love for reading has grown lately and you often pick out books, plop into my lap and request that I "rea" (other than Dada and Moo Baa, you also like The Little Engine That Could (trains!) and Thomas the Tank Engine books (more trains!)). You have also become more interested in puzzles and are really good at putting the pieces in the correct spots; your shapes, numbers and vehicles puzzles are already too easy for you. And like millions of toddlers before you, you have discovered the awesomeness that is Elmo. You have recently become very interested in Elmo books and Elmo songs and can even say his name: Eh-mo. We'll have to plan a trip to Sesame Place this summer!
Love,
Mom
