Mylestones

We've been busy here at the Sawick residence---keeping up with Myles has been crazy lately! He has cut 2 teeth---but I can't get you a pix because he won't let me near them with a camera...you are going to have to just trust me.  

He has started drinking out of a sippy cup on his own

He also is sitting up by himself (sometimes)....please don't focus on the drool---with his teething, no outfit is safe and there are no dry moments any longer. I'm not sure if you noticed, but he is getting cuter and cuter by the DAY!  :) 

Oh what a fun day!

We visited with Myles' birthmother and her family yesterday. In their town, there is a great park that has an antique merry go round that has been restored, a train that goes around the park, lots of other rides, swings, etc...so Myles had his first ride on a Merry go Round  ...he wasn't too sure about it at first, but then got used to it and was all giggles and smiles!  We had a GREAT day and a  great visit...Myles was in rare form all smiles and giggles all day entertaining everyone..even while being passed around to everyone...it truly was a perfect day.

after a long HOT day, it is always good to be back in Daddy's arms

Myles jabbering away

Rare for me to be able to capture Myles in video of him jabbering and giggling and making this funny noise --I hadsome help from my mom and dad distracting him so he wasn't focused on the camera---and got some great footage. here is Myles and for the record, he makes this noise ALL DAY LONG! :)

Big Squirt and Little Squirt

My Mom and Dad were able to spend a couple of days with us on their way back from Maine recently, It was great for them to spend some times with Myles now that he is getting older.  For those of you who don't know, my Dad's nickname forever was Squirt.  Mindy had a shirt that she passed down from Jack that says "little squirt" on it that I have been DYING to get a pix of Myles wearing and my Dad holding him in it---my wish has been granted! So now I have my Big Squirt and Little Squirt!!!  click HERE for more pix of their visit!

Visiting cousins Addie and Kevin

 

 Myles and I hung out with Kevin and Addie last weekend.  Myles had loads of fun patting Paris the dog, chewing on Addie's pantleg, and singing to Aunt Karen.  I can't believe I remember when Kevin and Addie were this little!  Man, does time fly!!!

Grandma and Grandpa visit

My Mom and Dad stopped in to catch a little time with their grandson on their way to Maine....They will get more play time on the way back--but there were lots of smiles and hugs for the short time they were here.

Does it get any better than this??? Grandpa doesn't think so!

Beaming proud Grandma and Grandpa!

RIP Uncle Connie

My uncle Connie Knox passed away earlier this week. After battling diabetes for many years, God thought it was time for Connie to join him upstairs with the angels.  We will all miss his Christmas ornaments he crafted each year, his twinkling eyes when he smiled, his soft chuckle, his love for bees, his HUGE garden and him riding his 3-wheeler despite having both legs amputated.  Times like this I hate living far away. My thoughts and prayers are being sent long distance.

My boy likes his oatmeal!

What can I say, my boy likes his food---just like his Mommy!!!   This may not wow you as much as it does me, but I sit and giggle whenever I feed him because Myles makes so many noises when eating---like he is savoring every morsel.  I apologize for some of the footage as I was holding my phone/video in one hand and feeding him with the other--so every now and then the camera goes astray.

Happy Fourth of July!

And what is a holiday weekend without some swimming??? our little fish LOVES the swimming pool! 

watching the news and talking

Myles this morning watching the morning news and talking to Mommy.  These vocal cords have been getting a workout lately!  he finally let me tape him..even for a little bit.

The Sawick Kids

Matthew's brother Michael, his wife Michelle and 3 kids from Atlanta, GA were in Charlotte for a lacrosse tournament this weekend--and was finally able to meet Myles too!  of course, the cousins were a hit together and doted on Myles---even started Myles with Lacrosse.  And this was a big event for London who is not the youngest Sawick any longer--but she seemed ok to give up her title to Myles.  We had a great time and can't wait for Jake's next tournament this weekend when they return to Charlotte again!
