I'm a big girl now...

because I am almost 9 months old I think I can do anything.

For instance, look at me here, I can crawl and get anywhere I want




I can swim in the pool all by myself




I don't need mommy's help with standing up, now I can stand up and get into all kinds of fun things






And I can take a bottle...Now Daddy can feed me and I love it, I should have done this sooner!


Mommy took this picture of me while I was sleeping, even though I think I'm a big girl I am still Mommy's little baby...


Love, Sawyer

On the move

I've been waiting for this day for some time now, and it's finally here. Sawyer started crawling this evening! Clint and I are so proud of her...as of tonight our lives will never be the same :)

Here is a video of Saw Baby hanging out in the kitchen, her new favorite playground (which that brings a whole new level of discipline that I will chat about later)


These next 2 videos are from today and these are the first times Sawyer has really crawled...enjoy!





Have a great weekend!!!

The bigger the better???

Sawyer received some big bows a few days ago in the mail...at first I wasn't sure what I thought about them...but after putting them on her I just think they are too cute! I know some would oppose but oh well! Enjoy looking at this precious girl:









Right now she is cutting her top two teeth, she is going to look so stinking cute once those come through! She is starting to eat lots of more finger foods and I am feeling a bit more adventurous with what foods I give her.

In other news ( yes our life does consists of other things besides Sawyer, haha) Trinity, our church met for the first time in a community city in our town. Clint and I took care of the kids, but we had a pretty good turn out and we are getting ready to start up community groups this week, which is really exciting! And we are preparing for our trip to Louisville coming up in two weeks. I am so pumped. I am just praying that Sawyer adjusts well, feels good, and has a great time...we are counting down the days in the Casabella household.

I"ve been trying to upload some videos that we have taken recently but we are having issues with it...hopefully we can get that working.

Have a great week!!!

Happy Daddy's Day!

First off Clint and I want to give a shout out to the men in our lives who have played such a huge role in who we are today! Michael Dixon, Michael Casabella, and Steve Blanchard we LOVE you all so much!!!! Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made for us, and loving us the way you have. We are so blessed to have you as our Fathers.

Also, Clint is such an amazing daddy. The way he loves Sawyer is so precious. He would do anything for her, his sweet daughter. I love watching him play with Sawyer, he can get her to giggle so much easier than I can! The way Sawyers face lights up when I say, "Wheres Daddy" is too sweet. She starts looking all over the house for Clint and then onces she sees him she goes crazy...melts my heart. This girl LOVES her daddy!!!

Clint, Thank you for being one incredible Father. Sawyer is so blessed to have you as her Daddy and I know your relationship will continue to grow over the years. Thank you for providing for our family and leading our family well. We love you so much Clint/Daddy!!!!

Sweet Sweet Summertime!

The weather has been beautiful up here, and we are loving every minute of it! Sawyer LOVES being outside, as soon as I put her shoes on and head to the door, she starts kicking her legs and flapping her arms, she gets so excited...I love it!

My mom got us an umbrella for our patio, I am so thankful because now Sawyer and I can sit on the patio during the day. It is so fun. I get a snack ready for her, and then grab some favorite toys and we sit and watch the world go by. I hope she continues to enjoy this because I love it! Here are some pics of Sawyer enjoying life




Today we went to the park with Bethan and Jane ( our neighbors and close friends). The girls had a blast and Bethan and I had great converstions!!! It was so delightful...Thank you God for sweet summertime and sweet friends!!









I love watching Jane and Sawyer interact, they are already sweet friends and Sawyer can't even talk...it is going to be so sweet to watch their little friendship grow! Sawyer is already learning so much from Jane, and Clint and I are learning so much from Brandon and Bethan!!!!

Hope you all are enjoying this sweet sweet summertime!

Sophie+Sawyer

Sawyer has a new best friend, it's Sohpie the giraffe. I have heard so many great things about this little, rubber giraffe. Well, the rumors are true! Sophie has become one of Sawyers favorite toys to play with. Thanks Grammie!!!

Tooth!

I know you all are dying to see Sawyer's tooth, I finally got a good picture where you can see it



Do you see that little white thing popping up in her month??? That's it!!! She has been a little fussy butt these past few days, but I know it's just a phase, so I am trying to enjoy our time together and cherish these moments! ( I feel like I always say that, haha)

And because I just can't get enough of little miss Sawyer Beth here are some favorite pictures I have taken recently. These first ones are from a few nights ago, when Clint and I took Sawyer on an evening walk. Their is a park really close to us, so we walked up there. Sawyer had a blast! Her new favorite thing to do is hold your hands and walk around ( this is wearing this momma out).






This is a precious picture of Sawyer with our neighbors daughter Gianna! I watch Gianna and Marissa every Friday, and Sawyer loves her little buddies.
