Crawling (Success!)

Sam crawled for the first time tonight.  Then I wanted to get it on video for the grandparents but Sam was so hesitant.

It's really cute, actually.  He will crawl a little and then sit back down and then crawl a little and sit.  I'm sure this won't last long and I'll be chasing him all over soon.

Daddy's been shopping again.

And I'm throwing this pic in here too just b/c I think it's funny.  I'm sure this is the face we'll end up getting from Sam the first time he has to sit in time out.



Puff, Puff!

Sam's new favorite snack are puffs.  Not just any puffs but the Apple Cinnamon puffs.  He is getting pretty good at picking them up and putting them in his mouth and no longer has to rely on me to place them in his mouth.  (My boy is getting so big!  ::sniff, sniff::)  We also have to hide the container when we're trying to feed him "real" food b/c he won't open his mouth and just stares at the puffs container.  :-)

**Just as a side note for my own memory keeping - Sam sat up on his own for the first time today.)

So, seems like we need a video of the puff monster.  Enjoy!
(Oh and please ignore the dirty bib.  Sam just had lunch and it was all over his bib.)

Downward Dog

Sam's apparently into yoga and his favorite position is Downward Dog b/c he does it all.the.time.  We keep trying to get a picture of it but everytime he does it and we grab the camera, Sam sits down and stares at us like he's posing for a picture.  :-)

These are the best we could get:

Stand Up!

Sam's new trick is pulling himself up from a sitting position.  J sat Sam in his crib and then yelled for me to come into the bedroom to see this:



Stop taking my picture and help me!



Lois sent Sam a gift!

Sam's Great-Grandmother, Lois, sent him a special gift from NY.  I think J loved it more than Sam!



Can you tell it was a windy day from Sam's hair?



I'd say these will be the last of any NY or Yankees pics, but...well, you know my husband so you know I make these kinds of promises.  :-)

Daddy brought presents!

J was on a work trip in NYC last week.  He brought Sam some goodies when he came home. 

(These first set of pics were taken at 1AM.  See how much energy my son has?  Feel VERY bad for me?)
Sam's first baseball bat:

Sam prefers to chew on the bat rather than swing it:

J also got Sam his first I Heart NY shirt.  We had some trouble with these pictures now that Sam is mobile.  He doesn't want to sit still and really wants to hold the camera so I didn't get any good pics of him sitting in the chair.

Let me hold that camera!

I will NOT smile for you, Mom!

No more pictures!

I want to get down!!!
