In Memory
We lost a very dear friend last night in a tragic accident...
Ashley Krajca
Ashley is a graduate student at the University of Miami as well as an intern with the South Florida Student Shark Program that Curt is affiliated with. Ashley had a passion for sharks, specifically hammerheads. A hammerhead was the first shark Ashley ever caught and tagged and this past Saturday while doing research for the Discovery Channel aboard Curt's boat Ashley caught and tagged her final hammerhead. Ashley had enough passion for ten people when it came to sharks...Her enthusiasm was contagious!!
Ashley was too young to die. She was bursting with life. She was very bright and had the world at her fingertips. She was funny, could always make you laugh. And she loved to play with Sawyer before and after trips.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to Ashley's husband, her family, her friends, and her colleagues at the University of Miami.
Life is so precious and this is such a difficult reminder. Live and love your best each day.

Play Time and Bath Time
ROLLING!!!
Yesterday morning Sawyer rolled for the first time - belly to back. And this morning he rolled from his back to his belly... I was finally able to catch a roll on video. Will keep trying for the reverse.
We have moved into new territory as parents... we have a mobile child!!

All smiles and laughter
Sawyer had a great day today....
He spent the morning with Teresa and
her family as I was doing my Open Water
dives to become certified in Scuba and
Curt was out on the water catching
sharks with a film crew from Animal
Planet for a new TV show "Bio Recon"
that will premier after the first of the
year. They caught 11 sharks, 5 species.
The crew was thrilled and impressed
with Curt's operation.
Sawyer hung out in his stroller while
mom and dad finally had a few moments
to catch up on their days...
And then Sawyer was all smiles with Daddy
You can hear him giggle in this video...
And then Mr. Funny Pants was wearing his shirt
on his head.
Not sure if I have mentioned it, but we have a new and
delightful routine... Sawyer goes to sleep at 10:30p and
wakes up at 7:30a... YEAH! We are over a week into this
new routine and feeling refreshed!!

Mommy is Home
I have just returned from my first work trip away from my men.
We all survived!!
The good-bye was emotional, but we were able to stay
connected through Skype a couple of times a day which
made things easier for me in San Diego.
Sawyer's reaction when I arrived home...
He was really hungry!!!
Once he had nourishment he was able to show how
happy he was to see me. Lots of smiles and giggles.
A new favorite... Sawyer is SO BIG!!

Sawyer to end his day.

The Godfather Visits
Sawyer Gets Good at Kicking
Sawyer has figured out that when he is on his play mat
that if he kicks the purple dolphin holding the ball it will
make noise. He is getting pretty consistent with his kicks!
And I loved this picture... almost as if I snuck up on him
and his face says, "I don't know what you are talking
about, I didn't do it."
