Cousins

Isa, Sammy, and Luke

Sammy does the happy arm waves and squeals of delight for Isa.

Juli with Sammy

Not to leave out Kevin

Toes

The Double Toe Grab. Not sure what green giraffe / loch ness monster is smiling for.

Wow Grandma!

Sports on the tube had Sammy's full attention.

Sammy can sit by himself now. He still needs a little help standing (thanks Grandma).

Debbie shows off the new stroller. Now we can "go places most other strollers only dream of going" - according to the marketing material.

Cousin

Erin and Sam. Erin is not only cute, but also quite entertaining.

Christine,too. Sammy is not letting go of those rings until they are entirely covered in slobber.

Sammy the Giant

Lookout villagers, Sammy the Giant is loose.

Oh wait, he is just a little harmless guy.

Samson declares that Cheerios once thrived within the confines of this box (Arrrhhheeeeeoooo).

Sammy is enjoying books now.

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.

Sammy and Vicki enjoying a sunny day.

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.

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.
