It's been a while!

Sam is getting so big and darn smart. He's getting into everything now and we've locked and bolted down everything we can that we want him to stay out of. He's an excellent stair climber and he can walk with assistance from either furniture or his little walker toy. (video coming soon!)

He now has six teeth and is eating a variety of new foods. He enjoys feeding himself with a spoon from time to time. Just today he was eating fruit medley (not mashed), part of a pancake and well, his standard mashed foods too. He's not so keen on the macaroni and cheese or any of the other jars of dinner food yet, but he's warming up to them.

It's exciting to see the progress he is making, and though I'm sure he'll be even more of a handful, we're really excited to see him take his first unassisted steps.

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.
