Sawyer is Two Years Old!

How can it be that Sawyer is already two years old? Where has the time gone? I have had many people tell me that time flies, but I had no idea how quickly until I had children. He is growing and changing every day.

We had his well-check on Tuesday and he is still in the fiftieth percentile for weight and height. He stood on a regular adult scale this time instead of lying down on the infant scale. He also was measured for his height instead of his length. He stood against the wall like a big boy. He won't have another well-check for a year instead of a few months like it has been.

The biggest thing Sawyer is doing right now is getting out of his room. He did it for the first time on Monday morning and I thought that I was going to have a heart attack. I was running around downstairs getting ready to leave to have their pictures taken and it sounded like he was outside his room. I started climbing the stairs and he was at the top of the stairs waiting for me. I got cold all over at the thought of what could have happened if he fell down the stairs. I can't believe how quickly he learned how to remove the door knob cover that was on his side of the door. It was nice while it lasted though. I timed him Tuesday during his nap and it only took him three minutes to remove the doorknob cover, place it on his bed (no idea why he does that), open his door, and stand at the top of the stairs. This time wasn't as bad because I had closed the stair gate. This morning he let himself out at 6 AM so we're going to be putting a gate in his doorway from this point on so that he can't get free. Are we horrible parents or what? It never fails that Chloe is sleeping much later now so that means that it's time for Sawyer to start waking at the crack of dawn...ugggh!

I think that I am going to stop taking monthly bear pictures with Sawyer. I think that I will wait until he is three to take another one. He is slowly but surely tiring of the pictures I think. That will also give me more time to focus on Chloe's pictures.

Elmo was the theme for Sawyer's birthdy party so I had to get his outifit for him.



Sawyer saw the "M" on the bear's chest and started doing his monkey imitation.
