Toys, Teeth and Trouble.

You may need to click on the picture of his teeth in order to see them better. I assure you...the bottom two are almost fully in now...and he can bite! Ouch!

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?!
