Oh how our lives have changed!

Needless to say, SO MUCH has changed since the last time I posted! If I were to try and catch you up on everything, we'd be here all night so I'll just talk about the most important things which is pretty much one and only thing...SAWYER :)
Sawyer Marguerite Williams
Our precious baby girl was born April 21, 2012 at 8:24 pm. Sawyer was 8 lbs. 8 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. There truly are not enough words to express how much we are in love with our sweet blessing from above. This post will probably be chocked full of pictures since she is already 3 months old. I still cannot believe that it has already been 3 months since she made her arrival. These past months have flown by and it is breaking my heart that she is getting so big so fast! Not going to lie, I got a little emotional this past week when going through her closet to put away the clothes that she can't fit into anymore. I know that there are SO many amazing things to look forward to, but I just can't help but get a little sad that it's going by so quickly. 

I am kicking myself for not keeping this blog updated..during the pregnancy and up until now. There are so many things that I want to write down so I don't forget them, but I just don't even know where to start! I guess I'll just begin with where we are at now....

Sawyer is exactly 3 months old today and we attempted to get her pictures taken at Target....it was an adventure to say the least. This momma will most likely NOT be trying that again. I think I'll stick to working with a photographer that doesn't try to cram people in even when you make an appointment. Not having to feel rushed or crazed is well worth the extra money if you ask me! We got one good picture out of the whole mess, but that's all I needed...just that one good picture. I will say though, my favorites so far have just been the sweet, precious moments I capture with my handy iPhone. If you follow me on Facebook then I am sure you have noticed that it did not take long for me to go into full on mommy mode with the pictures. I just can't stop taking them and posting them!! My sister in law told me within the first week of having Sawyer that it was very obvious I was a mommy now. My Facebook page was covered with pictures I had posted of her...and it has been that way ever since! 

Obviously this summer has been, hands down, the best summer ever! I have been enjoying every single second that I've been able to spend with Sawyer, Dusty and our family and friends. My summer started a little early--5 weeks to be exact. Sawyer couldn't have arrived at a better time. My leave just extended on into the summer so I've had a long summer break. We have had many, MANY lazy days (my favorite days with her by far), shopping days with Nikki and Hailey, Jayme and Jordan, Aunt Melanie, and of course Nana! We've even had some shopping days with Daddy (mostly grocery shopping, but hey shopping is shopping). We have spent many summer days at Nana and Papa's house so we can visit with them and Uncle Joey, Aunt Melanie, Grayson and Ella. Sawyer has been to her first play date (not that she played much) and her first birthday party. And of course summer wouldn't be complete without a summer vacation. This year we went to Caddo Lake along with my mom and dad (Nana and Papa). Dusty and I also celebrated our 2 year anniversary while we were there.
