5 Months and now he can scream. Yay!

Samuel is now five months old! Can you believe it! He's able to roll from his back to his belly, but not in reverse just yet, but he sure tries. He has also begun mastering the art of rotating himself in his crib, so in the morning his feet are where his head is supposed to be. Yes, he discovered loud volume screaming recently and he loves to tell Beamer every time she walks by. He's also become quite the jumper...well in his "Jumparoo" that is...he loves it and goes crazy every time we put him in it. Enjoy the photos below of Mom, Dad, Grandma and a couple solo Sam.

Baptism

This past Sunday our son Samuel was baptized. We weren't sure how it was going to go because he started to cry the moment we arrived at the church. Becky was able to console him and get him to fall asleep. They arrived a little late to the service, but just in time for the actual baptism. He woke up in the middle of the baptism while the minister was holding him, but was on his best behavior. He was wide awake as the minister showed him off to the congregation. It was a very nice service and Samuel was good when it mattered. His Aunt Val and Uncle Matt were chosen as godparents and did a great job in church as well.

Our family celebrated with us at our home after the baptism. Sam missed out on most of this due to a much needed nap.

Enjoy the pictures that we took before church (which is a good thing because he promptly threw up on the outfit when we got home after church). Mark's favorite part of the outfit was the hat.

Photos, and more Photos

Here's a few more good shots.

Long overdue update

I apologize for not getting a new post up here sooner. I really have no excuse except that I'm lazy.
So there.
As for Samuel...he is doing well and growing like a weed. As you can see from the photos in the next post, he's got quite an addictive smile. Once you get him going you just want to keep him smiling. He's also cooing and he's getting a better handle on his hand and arm coordination. He recognizes our voices, and reacts to us when we're close. It's still a learning process, but we're doing just fine.

Enjoy the pictures.

Big Debut, Part 2.

Here are three more of us before we came home. These are all large enough to have printed wherever you get your photos done. Don't forget to look at the post below for the rest of the photos.
