A Franks Fairytale

Happy 7 Months Sawyer James!!!

This last month has been so much fun! Sawyer is growing so much and his little personality is shining right through him! He has one objective right now...to crawl! He spends all day and some of the night working to accomplish it. He gets so frustrated every time he can't move. I love watching his little challenge and how much he desires this one thing. He whole world is focused on learning to crawl! God gave Sawyer this little personality before we even knew him. He is one focused and determined little 7 month old! That also makes for a strong willed little guy! Let's just say snuggling isn't his forte! He also got 4 new teeth in one week! He now has 6 teeth...time for big people food!!!

The Franks household has made it the full 7 months (minus my bronchitis when he was born) without having any sickness. On Friday night there were 5 girls and our kiddos that got together, and all of us but 2 caught this stomach bug! It might be one of the weirdest things I've ever heard of. We all got sick at the exact same time with the same symptoms! Poor little SJ and I had the stomach bug for two days. We were so thankful that daddy was here to take care of us. Sawyer was so sick. I hated seeing that little look in his eyes. He felt so helpless. Clay washed and rewashed every blanket and pillow in the house all day long. It was a crazy couple of days. Only my 3rd week of school and I've already had to take 2 sick days. Oh no...it could be a long year! Other than that little bump in the road, this has been one happy month for Sawyer! He is such a perfect, precious little angel! Everyday I feel more blessed to call him my son! Happy 7 months Sawyer!

Look a those kissable cheeks!!!

Pulling up in our crib! Ahh!

Love that face!

He plays so well in his crib!

Just relaxing in my crib...wondering what the day holds!

Precious precious little face!

Lolli was coming to visit and we were waiting for her in her room!

Our little angel is 6 months old!!!

Sawyer is growing into such a precious little boy! We love him more than I could have ever imagined! It's been such a wonderful summer, sharing it with our sweet little buddy! He is a little trooper! He's traveled to Texas to see G-pa and Deedee and Poppa, Lolli and Grammy! Traveled to Arkansas to see the Newtons and Grandma and Grandpa! He's been swimming with his two friends Griffin and Kennedy (by swimming I mean..there is a pool outside, and in-between naps, eating and pooping...we spend a few minutes in the pool:), runs errands with mommy...even been to the nail salon a few times :) He learned how to sit in a swing at the playground and learned how to kick and splash in the pool! SJ also got invited to his very first birthday party! He can sit up all by himself, roll over...all across the room, and loves to watch Bubble Guppies! It has been the most perfect summer! I didn't get a tan, I didn't get any projects done I planned, I didn't get most things checked off my list, I didn't get my house deep cleaned and I definitely didn't read as many grown up books as I thought I would! But it couldn't have been more perfect! We have giggled together, read books together, napped together, taken evening walks together, prayed together and spent so many precious hours rocking and singing together! I am so blessed for every single minute I get with this precious boy. I am so thankful that God has given us the opportunity to raise and train HIS child to go into this world and be like Him! I pray everyday that we will trust the Lord every step of the way as we raise Sawyer! It's such a huge task the Lord has laid before us! We are so excited and can't wait to see what his future holds! Happy 6 month birthday sweet angel! We love you more than you'll ever know!!!
