Lazy Saturday with Sawyer

Daddy Hamra is at work so Sawyer and I are just spending the morning playing. He is loving his vibrating bouncing chair. He is just full of spunk, wiggling around and babbling, giving us a preview of what we can expect in the weeks and months ahead.
Here is a video of our smiley boy:

Project Nursery

Woohoo!! We are in the running!

One of my favorite websites, Project Nursery, has picked Sawyer's room as a "Nursery They Love"this week. There are five finalist and they will reveal the winner Monday afternoon.
We would really appreciate it if you could visit the site and click on his nursery and "like" it at the top of the picture. You can also "rate" it with 1-5 stars.
Here is the site: http://projectnursery.com/2012/04/nurseries-and-parties-we-love-this-week-2/
Thanks!!

Sawyer: 7 Weeks

This week we learned that our little guy has a fragrance allergy. Poor guy broke out in a rash on the back of his neck and when it started to move to his face we decided to get it checked out. It is from the bubble bath and detergents we were using, even though we wash all his stuff in fragrance free, John and I were still washing our stuff in the normal detergents. So for the next few years anything and everything with dyes or fragrances are banned from the Hamra household.

The plus side to going to his doc is we got an update on his progress. Besides his rash he is doing great and growing so quick!!

Weight: 12 pounds

Length: 22 inches

Another big thing that happened this week....I went to happy hour! First time I was away on my own without John and Sawyer. I've got to say, it was great and he seemed to have a blast at his grandparents.

A much needed happy hour with my besties

Best part is my mom sent me pictures while I was gone. He sure loves his GPA!

Sawyer's First Easter Card from his Grand Aunt & Uncle and second Cousins!!

Tonight I am going to attempt to take him to Good Friday church service and then Easter Sunday service on Sunday. We'll see if he likes the quiet atmosphere.

Sawyer's First Cardinals Game

The Springfield Cardinals hosted the St. Louis Cardinals last night at Hammon's Field. We were able to bring Sawyer to his first baseball game with my parents thanks to Great Grandpa & Grandma Hamra who let us sit in their box. He slept through almost the whole game but got pretty social at the end of the night trying to talk to his grandpa! It was a beautiful night and we all had a blast!

Grandma Engel got him a new outfit to wear

Beautiful night for baseball!!

We left his milk in the fridge and had to come all the way back. That stuff is too precious to leave behind!!

Sawyer's Nursery

One of the best parts of being pregnant was planning and creating a space for Sawyer to come home to. We wanted a room he could grow in to, less baby and more young gentleman. I know, I know...we don't want him to grow up too fast but we always visualized our Hamlet as a little man with fine taste. We couldn't let him down. We opted for dark wood, rich colors and sophisticate patterns. In the end I think he approves.
Here is the transformation and how it all turned out. Make sure to check it out on Project Nursery (we could win some $$ if you rate it): http://projectnursery.com/projects/71574/
