Sitting Practice

Sammy is getting close to sitting up on his own. Here is a recent video:

Also we have been working on some "sleep training". This has really been working, and all three of us have been getting more sleep.

Solid

Sammy had his first "solid", rice cereal. He likes it very much, and does make a good mess.

Advanced Rolling

Sammy is rolling both directions now. He just added the back to front maneuver to his repertoire.

Sammy plays with Grandma and Grandpa.

Sammy whips out some tunes.

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.

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.

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.
