Thank you neighbors for blaring your rap music at 2:00 in the morning! It's always so fun trying to sleep to the bass vibrating your wall. It's especially fun when a sleep deprived mom is trying to get a little sleep... Your music made that nearly impossible! So thanks again dear neighbors of mine for blasting your rap music so early this morning... Sure do love sharing my bedroom wall with ya!

Blessing Day
Let me preface this post by saying that I am super bugged with this Mac computer... I rotate all the pictures and save them, and they show up all rotated in my album, but then I post them and they aren't rotated!?!! Not only that, but once they are posted, I can't see the pictures I posted until I hit the post button down at the bottom... so much for trying to write captions under the pictures if you can't even see them. Great computer.... just great! On that note... Sawyer had such a neat day on Sunday, February 6, 2011. My family was able to make it down, complete with Grandma Kathy, and Dixon's sister Jessica was also able to make it! We are so blessed to have family that is willing to travel long distances to support us in our endeavors.
I woke up and showered, only to find out that my blowdryer decided to only blow cold air (yes, I made sure to check that I didn't have the "cold air" button on). Panicked, I blew my hair for just under an hour and it was STILL wet. I decided that Heavenly Father was trying to test me... and went to church regardless (so excuse the hair in these pictures). Oh well, memory maker right?? Heavenly Father also tried Dixon and had him wake up deathly ill with some kind sinus infection... poor guy had a fever most of the day! Sawyer on the other hand, was just perfect. He handled being passed around all weekend like a champ! Dixon gave a beautiful blessing, and then it was on to Wade and Carolyns for strawberries and pancakes..YUM!!
And yes... Dixon kept Sawyer's name the same: Sawyer Anderson Leavitt. I was slightly worried he would change it to some random Brazilian name during the blessing, but he spared me! We sure do love our little guy!!
Thanks to all our family and friends for making the effort and taking the time to share in this special day with us!
PS. I ended up losing the super bowl bet that day (I was betting on Steelers, Dixon was going for the Packers... So I owe him dinner for a whole week...this week didn't count because we all were deathly ill... more on that later!)

Be Mine
I'm not the biggest Valentine's fan, but when you have two cute boys in your house... what's NOT to love about Valentine's?? Dixon and I have a tradition on V Day: Steak dinner. I make potatoes and gravy and jello (it's an Anderson tradition), and Dixon makes our steaks... Sawyer wants to join in this year, but I think he'll be stickin to his new diet! Speaking of new diet... notice how much his face has filled out from his 2 months pic taken on Friday to today (Monday). I think it's workin, and I just love me a chubby baby! Bring on those chubby cheeks! And from my Hubby, Dove chocolates with peanut butter... he knows me oh so well. I may or may not have one of these every night to celebrate a job well done (getting through the day!) Hope your Valentine is about as cute as mine!
Happiest Valentines Wishes!!
Love,
Dixon, Shaylee, and Sawyer

2 months
I can't believe my little guy is two months already! We had his Dr. Appointment yesterday and these are his stats:
- height: 22 inches (10-25 percentile)
- weight: 9 lbs 8 oz (5-10)
- head circumference: 39.5 (25-50)
Because he hasn't been gaining weight like he should be, the dr is now having me supplement with formula after every feeding! I was disappointed about this, because I feel like a bad mom that my body isn't providing for him like it should be... But I'll keep nursing him, and then offer him a bottle after! The doc wants him to be about 5 lbs heavier next time we see him, which us in two months.
On that note, Sawyer had to get his little shots yesterday. Poor guy already has a cold... So let's add shots on top of that!
We'll call this his before face:
And we'll call this his after face:
He did so good I was proud of him... And he didn't stay mad at me too long cuz he has been getting a treat ( his bottle) after every meal! Love my little guy!!
Keep growing bud!

Random thought
Every now and then I have days like yesterday where 5 o clock rolls around and I wonder... "what on earth have I been doing today?" And although I didn't get much done around the house because Sawyer was mr. Grumpy, I realized that I sustained a life all day... If that isn't doing something major, I don't know what is!
... And this is my little guy finally asleep at 5pm so I could get in the shower! :)

Sometimes...
Dixon finds Sawyer and I like this:
Sawyer hasn't decided on a sleeping schedule yet. Sometimes he'll sleep from 8:00pm-4:00am...other nights he'll sleep from 9:30pm-12:00 am and 1:30am-3:00am, and up for good at 6:00 am. Because he's such a sporadic sleeper, Dixon sometimes comes home and finds me and Sawyer like this!
(I know that your not supposed to put babies on pillows, but Sawyer will only sleep if he is in his boppy pillow, or laying on a pillow like this... because it feels like he is being held. I am in the process of getting him to sleep on his back now that he is moving around more in his sleep!)
