Jeff, Hilarie, & Sawyer: 4 Months Old, 1st Vacation, &Teeth

   Sawyer turned 4 months old on Friday, the 27th of July, we left for Bass Lake on Saturday the 28th, and discovered he had cut his first tooth on Sunday the 29th! What an exciting few days :)!
   I was supposed to take Sawyer to get shots right before we left on vacation but I got the days mixed up and had to reschedule for next week. My best guess is that he is about 25 inches long and approx 18 pounds. He is wearing 9 month clothes! He is getting big and so independent! He is not much of a cuddler, which totally bums me out. However, when he doesn't feel good, he still only wants to be held by mom - both a blessing and a curse for me :)
   Bass Lake was so awesome and our little man seemed to love it! I was pretty nervous about the long car ride there and back, but he was amazing! Hardly cried at all, which is sooo not like him. He typically hates the car after five minutes. He loved going in the water with me and Jeff and even fell asleep in his floater. He adored the attention from Hali'a and La'akea, plus Grammy and Bumpa! We rented a pontoon boat and ate dinner at the Pizza Factory. Overall, a fun week and we can't wait to go back!
   I was pretty shocked to find that little bottom tooth while eating dinner at the Lake. My baby just seems too little to have teeth already! But alas, there it was. One week later, the second bottom tooth broke through. It is kind of a bummer to see him growing so dang fast, but he is so much fun that I am trying to appreciate more of the milestones and not be so sad at what is passing by. Not an easy thing for this Mama!
