Boat Ride

Sawyer went for his first boat ride this past Saturday with his Aunt JuJu (Johnette). She invited us last week so we thought we would go out for a little while. Jade and I both love the lake so we try to go as much as we can. Sawyer loved it. He sat with his Aunt JuJu the whole time. This is when we discovered that he has hand, foot and mouth disease. It's a common virus that affects mostly children under the age of 10. It starts with a fever and a sore throat, then a rash a few days later and the blisters on his hands, feet and mouth. Poor baby! Johnette notices the blisters on his feet while we were out on the lake. There's nothing you can really do to treat this, just treat the symptoms. He was supposed to start daycare this week, but we've postponed it a little bit until he is better. This virus is highly contagious and I would hate for anyone else to get it. He has been in a great mood this past few days, just waiting for the blisters to scab over so we can be around people again. :)

Afternoon Swim

Sawyer got in his pool for the very first time over Memorial Day weekend.He absolutely LOVED it. I have a feeling we're going to have a little fish on our hands! Sorry, the pictures aren't that great, but I took them with my phone!

Happy 1st Birthday, Sawyer!

On this day one year ago, God blessed us with our most precious gift, Sawyer Blaine Snyder. He has brought to our lives more joy and happiness in this one year, I can't wait to see what the future years will bring. Our lives are forever changed by this gift from God and we are so grateful we were chosen to be his parents. Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

New Car Seat

Jade got a new truck a few weeks ago and I keep forgetting to post a picture. Sorry, I just can't ever seem to remember to take one. Anyway, he is loving it and so are we. We usually drive it on the weekends to give my poor car a rest. Since Sawyer will be starting daycare soon, we needed another car seat for Jade's truck because I will take him in the mornings and Jade will pick him up in the afternoon. Sawyer seems to really like his new car seat and I'm glad! We are so excited about him starting daycare, he is going to learn so many things and make so many friends.....we hope! Please continue to pray for us and that this is a smooth transition for all us!!

Chunky Monkey

Sawyer is getting to be such a big boy! I can't believe he will be a year old next week. Sniff sniff! He went to the doctor yesterday for a recheck on his ears and they were both clear. Praise the Lord! We were certain he still had ear infections because he is constantly messing with them. He weighed 27 lbs and is 32 inches long. WE asked Dr. Sellers about starting him on regular milk and he said to go right ahead. So, we are going to try that. I'm hoping it will be a smooth transition. Pray for us and our sweet little boy!
