Sawyer has been playing peekaboo for quite a while now. We put a cloth or towel over his face, and he then rips it off, we say "Peekaboo!" and he gets a big smile.
This morning in bed he took it to the next level.
He figured out that he could take our sheet and put it over his own head, wait a second, and then rip it off! He had a huge smile on his face every time he did it.
I'll try to get some video soon.

Some Hawaii photos
A little late in posting these, but here are some pictures of our trip to Kauai in May! We'll be going back every other year from now on, because my mom and dad are suckers and bought into a timeshare there!
 Mom on the jungle hike |  Dad took me in the keiki pool at the Lae Nani. I loved the feel of sand between my toes! |
 This is the waterfall and the pool at the Waiohai. I'll spend lots of time here growing up! |  Dad wore me on the jungle hike. I didn't want to tell him, but he put me in the Ergo baby backwards! |
 There's nothing better than a nap on the beach with dad... |  ...followed by a snack with mom! |

 It was fun to have cousins around to play with |  I had a tearful goodbye with Oma and Opa in the airport. |

More milestones!
We've got tons of pictures to upload later, but we wanted to put some stuff in the blog before we forgot:
1. Sawyer had his first solid food on Monday May 25th. It was just a little rice cereal, and he loved it (even had a second bowl). He never hesitated at all, and even tried to "help" feed himself!
2. He spent his first time alone with his new babysitter Maria on Friday. It made Cindy very sad to leave him even for a few hours (she consoled herself with some retail therapy). Her first day back at work is Monday.
3. Today, he had a very big day. First, Cindy made him his first "real" food -- steamed sweet potato (organic, naturally). She used the Beaba that her cousins gave her; it's a steamer and food processor in one. Sawyer loved the sweet potato. We thought we might at least see a funny face when he tasted it for the first time, but he went right for it. Seems we're going to have a big eater on our hands!
4. Finally: while we were feeding him, I noticed that his first tooth is poking through! I tried to get a picture, but it's too hard to get him to sit still and smile. Maybe that explains why, after sleeping all the way through the night before last, he woke up 3 times last night!

Quick update from Kauai
Sawyer had 2 big milestones yesterday in Kauai (his mom's birthday, incidentally).
First of all, he had his first ever back-to-front roll! It was considerably scarier than a front-to-back roll, and he was certainly surprised by the sudden chane in perspective.
Then, he had his second big accomplishment: his first trip into the ocean! We went to the keiki pool in Lydgate Park, which was perfect. We took turns floating him around, then sat him in the sand right where the waves were reaching. He loved it, right until a wave nearly as tall as he was hit him!

Rolls and Raspberries
Today Sawyer was lying on his tummy, and started fussing. Dan said, "Well if you're unhappy this way, just roll over." So he did. Twice. Burn!

Also: we now know Sawyer has inherited his dad's love of fart humor. Note his style: he takes his cue, looks into the camera, and lets loose. And he knows the secret: fart jokes just keep getting funnier the longer you do 'em.

Test driving the highchair
Sawyer's not eating solids yet, but he got a preview of things to come. If only we would feed him something other than plastic toys...
