Picky Eater

On his horse from Great Aunt Ann

Daddy and Sawyer (Sawyer with his new shoes on)

He loves the new bath tub

Mom I am taking a bath. NO pictures!  :)

I thought as the months went by it would get easier being a parent, well in some ways.  Sawyer is 16 1/2 months old and VERY stubborn, just like his mommy, haha.  I am always worrying about his nutrition.  He loves his milk, and juice but getting him to eat is another story.  He will hardly eat meat.  Sometimes we can get him to eat  hamburger or ground turkey, and occasionally chicken but its a rare occasion.  He will turn his head and if you manage to get it in his mouth the tongue immediately comes out and so does the meat.  These days it seems he is living on bread, peanut butter, cottage cheese, fruit, waffles, and jello.  He refuses vegetables too.  When we started him on baby food he did so well.  He would eat all of it and seemed to really love it but now that he is on real food everyday is a struggle.  I am hoping as he gets older he learns to love other foods and will be a better eater. 

Mischief

It's hard to believe Sawyer is just two days shy of being 16 months.  He is growing so fast and learning new things everyday.  Along with learning he is exploring.  Our son has NO fear!  We find ourselves saying the word 'NO' a lot at our house.  We have a gate between our living room and kitchen so that he can't get into the cat's dishes or fall down our basement stairs.  He has learned how to knock it down now, especially if mommy or daddy are in the kitchen without him.  Sawyer is also a climber, lol.  We have had to remove all four of the chairs away from the dining room table because he was climbing up onto them and then onto the table.  He LOVES daddy's computer and will climb up into the computer chair every chance he gets so that he can type on the keyboard.  I hope you enjoy the pictures below. :)

He tipped over his bus.

Getting a closer look.

I want to help cook mom.
