Sam's exersaucer

Tonight I will post a video to show you why my son will make an excellent medical student and future doctor.  His focus is intense.  His determination is relentless.  Take a look:

However...if Wheel of Fortune still exists when Sam is in med school, we may have a problem. 

Apparently, solving the latest puzzle is VERY important to him and he stops everything he's doing to watch Vanna turn those letters!  :-)

Have a great weekend! <3

Oh the dreaded tummy time!

The doc has really stressed the need for lots of tummy time since Sam isn't rolling over.  I do this a few times a day.  Let me let pictures tell the story of tummy time.

The End.

Our PJ day

Today Sam and I decided to stay in our pjs all day.  Oh, who am I kidding?  We stay in our pjs most days unless we're going out.  :-)  When did I become THAT mom.  You know, the one who you see in the grocery store in her pjs.  (K-dog!)  I haven't gone there yet but I'm pretty close b/c my pj bottoms are just so freakin' comfortable!

Thanks to Sam's cousin, Eli, he has lots of pjs.  I put him in a pair today and can you believe he is wearing 12 month clothes now?  What a chunky monkey!

Here are some pics of him in his monkey pjs.  Thanks Eli!

Video of Sam and his tongue

I wasn't going to post this video with my post below but then I watched again and it is too funny not to share.

Enjoy!

Sam has found his tongue.

And he isn't sure what to do with it.  He does a lot of this all day long:

Sam's new friend

My friend, Sarah, sent Sam this cute blankie thing that has a bear head.  (Sorry, I don't know the technical term for this.  Maybe, lovie?)  Anyway, I gave it to Sam yesterday when I was trying to get him to nap and he would only be calm while holding onto my fingers.  He fell asleep right away clutching his blue friend.

Here's a cute pic:

Today, I tried the same tactic but Sam was more interested in nom nom noming on blue friend's ear.

He even thought it was amusing.

We're swinging at the park!

We decided to take a walk and stop at the park to swing since it was so gorgeous out (short sleeve weather).  As you can see from the pics, Sam was not amused by the swing.  He is teething right now so he was more interested in eating the grimy rubber instead of enjoying the breeze as he flies through the air.

I put a blanket between him and the swing so he wouldn't chew on the swing so then he just chewed on the blanket.

Then I sat him on my lap and tried to swing but I was a little nervous that I might drop him so that didn't last long.

Daddy watched from the sidelines.
