Such a Big Boy!

All of the sudden, my almost 9 month old son seems like a big boy, and not a baby anymore! We went to the pediatrician last week to check-up on Mr. Sawyer and the high fever he had been experiencing. Dr. B. checked him out and said it was just viral. After a couple of days of Tylenol/Motrin, we had the fever down for good. He weighed in at 18 lbs 10 oz! Nothing slows Sawyer down when it comes to his bottles and meal times. This boy loves to eat!! While at the office, I mentioned Sawyer's love of food. We were given the go-ahead to introduce more table food into his diet. We started off at lunch on Saturday by giving him small bites of our own lunches (ie. mashed potatoes and gravy, grilled cheese, french fries, lima beans). He loved every bit of it!! Sunday night, we planned a healthy, Sawyer-friendly family meal. We sauteed chicken and zucchini, and cooked quinoa. We cooked Sawyer's zucchini very plain with only a touch of olive oil. He had that cut up in small bits along with diced pears. He could not shovel it into his mouth fast enough! So proud of him for trying and loving new foods, and for learning to feed himself. I even got Will to eat some of the zucchini ;) He said if Sawyer was going to eat it, so would he! 

If those pictures aren't adorable enough...check out this video of my sweet, big boy eating his dinner!

Stay tuned next week for Sawyer's 9 month update! My, my time flies....
