The last post of 2012.

Dear Freddie,

May I begin by requesting that you bring in the new year with a better nights sleep than last night.
Start as you mean to go on please little man.
Mummy and Daddy do not like 4am starts.

What a year it has been.
Though we won't ever forget your dramatic start to life it is going to feel good to have a full year behind us since those difficult times.

You have changed so much this year.
Your personality is so strong, we can't imagine a time when you did not rule this house.

It has been a busy year full of exciting times.
You have paddled in the sea, built sandcastles, celebrated a wedding, learned how to play with your brother, wrestle with your dad and fight over your Grandpops.
Your birthday and naming ceremony was the highlight of the year for me.
A beautiful day celebrated with those who love you.

You have seen your brother off to big school and enjoyed your daily school run buggy trips.

You have exhausted me with your tantrums and then instantly melted my heart with your beautiful toothy smile.

Happy New Year sweetheart

Love you

Mummy

Today Freddie took his first steps!

We went for a family meal and he decided then and there to show off and take a couple of unaided steps.

I never imagined that we would be at a pub/restaurant when he decided to reach such a significant mile stone.

Well done Freddie.
A lovely Christmas surprise.

Thursday 20th December 2012... Again!

This is a video of Freddie on a very important conference call.

He is currently in talks with Heston Blumenthal about the creation of an edible mobile phone...

It has been a while since my last post.

This has something to do with the fact that Freddie is such a busy little boy at the moment.
He certainly keeps us on our toes.

He has been a star recently at some of the Christmas events that aren't always baby friendly.
He slept through most of Samuel's nativity.
He was a happy chappy all the way round Asda yesterday whilst mum and I got the Christmas food shopping done.
He was rather noisy at a family meal we had at Lakeside on Saturday because I think his teeth were bothering him but nonetheless the meal was a success.

Tooth number six has recently poked its way through and it looks to me like a couple more will follow shortly.

Teething is not pleasant and the little man has been suffering a bit.
Calpol and cuddles solve all!

The photos below sum the little dude up...

A Cheeky monkey!

He rules the house, bossing everyone around. Demanding that polar express be put on most of the time!

Samuel is so good with him. He entertains him and let's him use his head as a drum in the bath!


We are all very excited for Christmas.
I am starting to wonder what Freddie will think once all of the Christmas celebrations are over.
I get the feeling he thinks all of the bright lights, decorations and parties are the norm!

We may have to have the tree up all year he loves it that much!

Hope you have all been good for Santa!

Well another countdown to Christmas has arrived and the Sawyers have enjoyed another festive break at Center Parcs.

The boys had lots of fun all week with us and their Mamma and Grandpops. The lucky boys also got a visit from Auntie Em, Uncle Dint and Zachary.

It was strange thinking about how tiny Freddie was when we took him last year.
This year he enjoyed the soft play areas, the swimming the frosty walks and lots more.

He spent the week bossing us all about with his chatter and his feisty ways!

Getting Samuel out of the swimming dome was a challenge this
year. I was certain he would actually turn into a fish.
The big little man also showed off his skills at tennis and squash and had his first attempt at roller skating!

Here are some pics from the week...
