Sam's walking! (well, almost)

It is nice out!  We took Sam out for a "walk" using the walker my parents got him.  He does so good.  If you listen carefully, you'll be able to hear the squeaking of his squeaker shoes.

Hangin' with Grandpa and Grammy Shap

Sam's new friend

They play together quite often and seem to have long, meaningful conversations.  (I seriously need to get Sam into a playgroup or something.)

Park Time!

I can feel Fall coming.  Oh, how I've missed you, old friend.  Oh, how J is going to be annoyed with me when I ask him to go down to the storage room and dig out my totes of long sleeved shirts, sweaters, and hoodies.  :-)

Anyway, the day was cooler so we scored some park time.

Showing off that new smile again.

Splash Pad Fun

Since the spash pads are closing this weekend, we decided to take Sam to have some end of the summer fun.  He really had a great time and crawled all over the place.  He loves the water so much!

A little nervous at first.  Also the water was a little chilly.

"Where'd the water go?"

New Smile

Sam!  Smile for mommy!

Please, Sam!  Smile!

Cheeeeeese!

Football Season Is Here!

This means that Fall is almost here and also means that Cousin Logan is moving on from baseball to football.  He's playing middle linebacker this year.  Every time I say middle linebacker, I think of Olivia from the Cosby Show.  Does anyone remember this episode?  Anyone?

Logan dropped off a special shirt for Sam to wear to his first home game.  Sam loved it of course b/c he loves his Logan. 

We just need to get Sam out more often b/c he didn't last long in the stands with all the people yelling and cheering.  We ended up having to leave early.

Of course I got some great pics first!

Logan is #48

Sam intensely watching the game.
