So far, we've had several people ask how to pronounce Sawyer.

We didn't realize how difficult it would be for people to pronounce a common-sounding name (granted, it's more common as a last name than a first name. But hey...Steven Spielberg named his son Sawyer too!).

Kenny and I pronounce Sawyer the same way we pronounce "lawyer."

Okay, I know that doesn't help much.

We pronounce it the way it's written: "saw" (as in, an instrument to cut wood) and "yer" (as in, the last three letters of his name). So we're noticing that it's a bit different than the more common pronunciation we hear: "Soy-er."

I guess it really doesn't matter to us how people are pronouncing his name. It sounds the same if said quickly, and everyone knows what name you're referring to when using either pronunciation.

So call him whatever you want, as long as you're using his name. :D

Congratulations. I understand what you mean about being more relaxed with the second child. May God give you both strength and joy.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a beautiful boy. Fantastic pictures! I look forward to meeting him. We found it much easier the second time around, too. Except juggling the needs of two little ones -- that's harder than the first time around! Call if you need to talk sometime!

I like that name - Sawyer Smith! and with your luck, he'll become a lawyer, so he'll actually be Sawyer the lawyer. He's very handsome as well and he fits beautifully into the already comely Smith family. Congratulations Kenny and Liz! God bless you!
Lots of love and joy for you!
