4 MONTHS!
These 4 months have hands down been the BEST 4 months
of my life. It is totally amazing that I have been blessed with you as my
child! You are growing like a weed Saw-man! Where has my tiny little baby boy
gone?
You totally amaze me. You complete me. You make me
excited to wake up in the mornings to see your sweet face. Your kisses melt my
heart. YOU are my WORLD. I occasionally look at your Daddy and thank him for
giving me you just as I thank God every single day and night. Your Daddy loves
you, he adores you – you are also his whole world!!!!
You still look just like your Daddy -you are changing
everyday. AND.... I am not gonna lie to you I am still holding out a little hope
that you have some of your momma in you! I think you have my eyes and lips so far. Your little
smile lights up the whole room, your “B” tells you all the time what a “pretty
little smile” you have.
There were a lot of “firsts” this month for you!

You celebrated your FIRST THANKSGIVING

friend

You are still sleeping every night right beside Mommy
and Daddy in the pack n’ play/nap nanny or in your snugabunny rocker beside our
bed. Your very favorite Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. You are still NOT a good napper
– you take “cat naps” and most of them last no longer than 30 mins or so, you
are really enjoying your naps these days while being held…the second you get
put down those eyes pop open. Most nights you are sleeping anywhere 8-10 hours
or so before waking up for a feeding!! Most of the time you still taking 4 oz
every 2 ½ to 3 hours. You still LOVE your baths and you take a bath at night
around 7:30 – 8:00 and its always with mommy. You will not take a paci, I give
up!!! You are still in a size one diaper and and 3-6 month clothes you weigh approximately
14 lbs. now…the same as last month. You are only in the 20th
percentile for your weight, we gotta fatten you up J Your eyes
are still blue, YAY! You are getting a little hair, finally! You have super strong little legs and you are
holding your head up so well and doing lots of tummy time.

“fat face”, “BOY”, “saw”, “buddy bud”, “little man” and your Daddy has recently started calling
you – “stink”
The words to this book describe my love for you Sawyer
Maddox. I can’t wait to read this book to you over and over. Santa brought this recordable storybook to you and Mommy is going to record her voice reading it so you will have it forever and ever!
Here is the beautiful,
moving text in its entirety:
I wanted you more
than you ever will
know
so I sent love to
follow
wherever you go.
It's high as you
wish it. It's quick as an elf.
You'll never
outgrow it...it stretches itself!
So climb any
mountain...
climb up to the
sky!
My love will find
you.
My love can fly!
Make a big
splash! Go out on a limb!
My love will find
you. My love can swim!
It never gets lost,
never fades, never ends...
if you're
working...
or playing...
or sitting with
friends.
You can dance 'til
you're dizzy...
paint 'til you're
blue...
There's no place,
not one,
that my love can't
find you.
And if someday
you're lonely,
or someday you're
sad,
or you strike out
at baseball,
or think you've
been bad...
just lift up your
face, feel the wind in your hair.
That's me, my sweet
baby, my love is right there.
In the green of the
grass...in the smell of the sea...
in the clouds floating
by...at the top of a tree...
in the sound
crickets make at the end of the day...
"You are
loved. You are loved. You are loved," they all say.
My love is so high,
and so wide and
so deep, it's
always right there, even
when you're asleep.
So hold your head
high
and don't be afraid
to march to the
front
of your own parade.
If you're still my
small babe
or you're all the
way grown,
my promise to you
is you're never
alone.
You are my angel,
my darling,
my star...and my
love will find you,
wherever you are.
You are
loved.
~ Nancy Tillman
Happy 4 Months Sawyer! Love always and forever!
Mommy and Daddy
