Dear Sawyer,
Things you do not love:
-Being left alone
-Drinking from a bottle (nope, you want your milk straight from the source!)
Things you do love:
-Being carried in a baby carrier (you're always so comfy, you fall asleep right away)
-Snoopy (there is baby Snoopy wallpaper above your changing table and every time you look at it, you smile)
-When PoiPoi shouted, "Ai yah!" She was playing with you today and when she shouted "ai yah," you laughed for the first time!
Love,
Mom

Two Months!
Dear Sawyer,
You're two months old! Now that you're a little bigger and doing more than just eating, sleeping, peeing and pooping on a continuous loop, things are a lot more fun. The best part is that you have started smiling a lot, especially when I tickle you under your chin. And you're making concerted efforts to communicate with me, what with the adorable "uunh" and "agoo" sounds you emit. Also awesome is that you are sleeping for five to seven hours at night, so Mommy is feeling a lot more rested!
You are currently wearing size 3 months clothing and size 1 diapers and are so big that JieJie can only hold you on her lap for a little while before she says, "Oh, too heavy. Take off please!" You also have big-sized burps after I nurse you (wow, some of them are loud!) and big cries--when you are really upset, you cry so passionately that your whole head breaks out into a huge sweat!
Another really big thing? How much I have totally fallen in love with you these past couple months!
Love,
Mom

Newborn Nails
Dear Sawyer,
I clipped GuhGaw's teeny tiny fingernails when he was a newborn and I clipped JieJie's teeny tiny fingernails when she was a newborn, but that didn't make clipping your teeny tiny fingernails today for the first time any less nerve-wracking. I forgot how scared I get of cutting a newborn's finger by accident and how, with each clip, I hold my breath as if trying to diffuse a bomb. Eeesh.
Love,
Mom

One Month Old!
Dear Sawyer,
You are 1 month old today! Wait, what? How did four weeks go by already?
The past 30 days have been a blur of sometimes-painful nursing (you don't even have any teeth but geez, do you clamp down hard with your gums!), nervous diaper changes (you've only peed on me maybe two times but GuhGaw peed on me all the time during diaper changes when he was a newborn and I guess he traumatized me for life), fun baths (you seem to really enjoy bath time now), impressive tummy times (you can hold your head up so high and for a good length of time), fascinating Baby TV (I especially like to watch you while you're sleeping because you often smile in your sleep and it is so cute!) and thankfully not that much sleep deprivation (I'm not getting 8 hours of sleep or anything but you do sleep for 4- to 5-hour stretches most nights, which I'll take!).
And of course, there has been lots and lots of cuddling! Even when it's the end of the day and I'm physically and mentally exhausted and you're asleep in my arms and I should put you in your bassinet so that I can go to bed, I somehow find the energy to stay awake and hold you just a little longer. Because after all, you're only going to be this small for so long.
Love,
Mom

Baby Trifecta
Dear Sawyer,
You pooped and while I was changing your diaper, I accidentally got a little poop on my hand. And then you peed on my hand. And when I finally cleaned you (and my hand) up, I picked you up and you spit up on me. All right--what else ya got?? :-P

Mom

A Trio of Accidents
Dear Sawyer,
So today, GuhGaw woke me up at 5:30 in the morning to tell me that he had wet his bed, JieJie had an accident in her underwear and peed on the floor and your diaper leaked while I was nursing you and your pee spilled out all over my stomach. So this is life with three kids under the age of five! Oye.
Love,
Mom
