He Sits! He Crawls! He Swims! He's Amaaaazing!

Sam has taken some pretty huge steps lately and I thought we should share them with all of you...and if you missed it...check out the video we put up last time.

And remember, if you want a high quality image to print out, you have to click the picture first, then download it.

He Crawls!

He's mobile now and becoming quite adventurous. The video says it all.

Packer Fan...Already!?

Oh gosh! Sam's already sporting a Packer jersey, and he's only 6 months old! And he looks pretty happy about it. (M: I clearly had nothing to do with this.) On June 2, Sam and Becky got to meet Donald Driver of the Green Bay Packers at the grand opening of the Aurora Clinic in Plymouth. Sam was quite happy with the encounter and didn't cry at all when Donald put Sam on his knee to sign his jersey. The kicker was that once we were heading out of the tent, we neglected to put his bib back on and Sam, in true post-meal fashion, puked on the jersey. It's ok though, we wiped the puke off and don't plan on washing the jersey. Through it all, I think Becky was way more excited about meeting Donald Driver.

I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas!

So as the photos suggest, Sam has started to eat solid...well mushy food. Mostly rice cereal to be exact. And let me tell you, it has no taste, but for some reason he likes to eat it. He's also become quite vocal spouting off rants of "ma ma ma ma ma ma" and "da da da da da". He still doesn't associate the words with anything yet, but he sure likes to say them, especially when he's frustrated. We're currently working on his social skills, if he sees someone who he does not know within 20 feet of him who is talking to him...he'll cry. Though he was recently introduced, again, to his Cousin Ellen and they hit it off quite well. Aren't they cute?!

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.
