6 Months

Believe it or not, Sammy is six months old today! Six months and he already has a start on the beer belly and rainbow bling.

This picture is from week three (from the hospital). Precious, indeed. He has now quadrupled his birth weight.

Sam and I.

Snoozing with Bob.

Getting Bigger

Sammy seems to have gotten quite a bit bigger/sturdier in the last couple weeks. These pictures were taken last weekend.

Sammy likes to stand but needs help balancing. He is not afraid of dogs.

Debbie and Sammy had fun playing.

Aggressive laughing going on here.

Drool action shot.

Mojo

Sammy was happy to wear his Mariner's outfit to provide some Mojo before Dad went to the game to see Griffey's HR and Grandma break out the rye bread and the mustard for Ichiro's grand salami.

Sammy's head is so big he looks like a comic book character when wearing snug shirts.

When we went for a stroll, Lloyd watched from the window. I don't know how he stays up there on the windowsill. I have heard some crashes before.

Sammy Rolls Over

Sammy started rolling over on his own.

Sammy Sounds

These are some of the fun Sammy sounds.

Samson went in for his last RSV shot. You can see how excited he was. We are happy that flu season is just about over though, and Sammy has done just fine. Cousins Ryan and Hailey were able to come visit.

And here is Sammy in a bucket.

Sammy Updates

Sammy likes to be on his tummy and can hold his head up pretty high now.

We put Sammy in a Bumbo seat briefly. Not really much of a reaction, but he was able to sit.

Sammy really likes to be carried around in this BabyBjorn pack. This is my hands free device.

Sammy likes sitting on laps too, and is just starting to look at books a bit.

Sammy enjoys looking at people's faces, including his Grandparents. He also studied Amanda, Josh, and Paige, along with his own face in the mirror many times.

A Few New Pics

Samson in his fancy clothes. Look out lady babies, this thirteen pounder appears cute and cuddly but he can have some big mood swings.

The swing is a good perch to sit and watch people acting like idiots. I'll spare you the idiot this time and just show the audience reaction.

Vicki took this older picture of us a while back, and the other one is more recent.

Tag, You're It

Debbie informs Samson that she and Dad are reversing roles. Mommy is going back to work while Dad is leaving work for a while to stay at home. WHAT? Dad who, he wonders.

Oh that guy with the camera.. oh okay then.

Debbie enjoys her time with Sammy.

Swing Dancing

Sammy smile sightings are gradually increasing. The best way to elicit a smile seems to be to put on a perma-grin and either spout out some gibberish or speak baby-talk. The best ones are the unsolicited ones though.

I think Samson may be a good swing dancer.
