Sam is 100 days old today and my parents sent him a gift. His legs aren't quite long enough yet but he did enjoy sitting in it. I also don't think he has the head control for this yet but I can't wait for him to play in it! Here's some video:

Screamfest 2011
Yes, that is what today was for Sam. He apparently did not want to be put down and screamed whenever I was not holding him. Have you ever sat on the couch in the same position, afraid to move for 3 hours?! Not fun. Thank goodness for Netflix! (Thanks, Drea!) Tomorrow should be better, right?
Valentine's day was pretty low key. J and I made a spaghetti dinner together. Yum! J brought home yummy treats for dessert and pretty flowers.
Here's Sam's pic of the day. The hair situation is not getting better. Special shout out to Aunt KC for all the Carolina onesies. Sam would wear them every day if J could get away with it!

When Daddy is in charge...
The first time J had to get Sam dressed on his own was when he wanted to take Sam out on a Saturday morning while I slept in. When the two of them got home and I went to get Sam out of the carseat, I realized he had NO pants on! J said he couldn't find any pants (what?) and so he just wrapped Sam's legs in a blanket. "He was fine!" - J's response to my horror.
Today, J was again in charge of getting Sam dressed. Here's what we ended up with. (Keep in mind that the onesie Sam is wearing is the same onesie he wore to bed under his pajamas.)
Uh-huh...those are socks on Sam's hands. J said that Sam didn't need a long-sleeved shirt/onesie b/c he put socks on his feet and his hands. Basically, J put on the same pants Sam wore yesterday and then put 2 pairs of socks on him.
Here, take another look:
Here's a bonus pic of Sam. We tried the crib again last night. He lasted 2 hours and then at 2AM, I had to move him to his carseat. At 5AM, I had to move him to our bed. Ugh!
The mirror is a gift from his Aunt K-dog and Uncle Dave:

3 month pics
I know everyone saw these on Facebook, but I wanted to post a few of my favorites so Sam has this blog to look back on pics!

Dora, Dora, Dora The Explorer!
Sam watched his first cartoon today. I pulled up Dora on Netflix. Sam seemed captivated but only lasted about 10 minutes before he decided he was hungry. It was hard to get good pics since he was sitting on my lap but here he is:

3 months old!
I can't believe it has been 3 months! Okay, I'm lying. It feels like 3 months took forever to get here. Most moms are probably saying how time is flying by. Don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying every day with Sam, but with all of his feeding and sleeping and crying issues, I just want it to be better and I think that will happen when we're able to start solids like cereal.
Anyway...so far Sam can lay on his tummy and lift his head really well. I mean sometimes he'll face plant but for the most part he has pretty strong neck muscles. He's smiling when he feels like it. He's wearing 3-6 month clothing and 9 month pants from Target. He's got a pretty big belly (weighing in at 15 lbs) and even bigger cheeks! :-) He drinks 5-6oz every 2.5-3 hours.
Today we took Sam to get his pictures taken. He did SO awesome. He absolutely refused to smile but didn't cry and tolerated almost all the different poses. He also looked at the camera for the most part. We ordered lots of pics so we'll be sending them out soon. Their printer was down so we didn't get them today.
Our chicken and dumplings dinner turned out okay. J really liked it and ate 2 bowls. I just thought it was "meh" (shrugging shoulders). No pic b/c it just really looked like slop.
Tonight we did fish tacos and broccoli. Yum!
Here's Sam's pic of the day! Just look at that face!

The Quiet Hour
So, I think the 8 hours Sam slept wasn't the start of a trend as he had a horrible night of sleep on Saturday and still woke up once last night. It is better than the every 2 hour wake ups that he was doing when he was 1 month old.
Sam takes his last bottle at 10 and then is asleep by 11. J always wants to go to bed as soon as Sam falls asleep but my favorite time during the day is from 11-12. It is my quiet hour. I get so much done since Sam mostly likes to nap in my arms only. From 11-12 at night I get J's lunch ready, clean the kitchen, fold laundry, pick up around the living room. I also spend time playing on the internet and watching reruns of The Office. I know I end up a little more tired when I have to get up at 3:30AM to feed Sam but it is totally worth it!
Monday night's dinner was sauteed chicken and tortallini in pesto and green beans.
Tonight I will be attempting the crockpot chicken and dumplings...AGAIN!
Here are J and Sam again chillin' on the couch.
Sam also seems to be enjoying the bouncy seat more too. Too bad he's almost too big for it. We took the insert out and he fits better in it.
