Dance, Sam, Dance!

The good news:  Sam loves to dance.

The bad news:  He learned his moves from his daddy.

Please notice that Sam has progressed from the bouncing and clapping.  He's now added some swaying.

And Elmo joins in the fun:

For years, I've heard that J's #1 move was the "Dolphin".  I'm waiting for Sam to master that move.  Stay tuned!  :-)

Merry Christmas

From the Shap family to yours!

Bibs

No, not those kind of bibs.  Grammy Shap sent A LOT of boxes to our house this week and they were full of presents for all of us.  One of the boxes also included a pair of bib overalls. 

Adorable!

We headed over to Harmony's house for a little dinner:

Thank you, Grammy and Grampa Shap for ALL of the MANY presents you sent but especially for the cutest bibs ever!

Valley View Farm

We visited Valley View Farm to see all the decorated Christmas trees.  Loved all the ornaments!

Probably not the best place to take Sam who wanted to "hold"/eat all the ornaments.

There was plenty of room for him to run outside though.

Day in the life of Sam

Ever wonder what Sam does during the day?  Well, wonder no more!  Here are some pics of his daily activities.

He plays with his puzzles.  Although he prefers licking the puzzle pieces rather than putting them together. 

 ***The one sock is a clear sign of how rough the day was. 

Then he and J will sometimes chill in Sam's bedroom and play in front of the fan.

Tasting the diapers is sometimes included in the schedule as well.

Of course, there's lunchtime.

Playtime with the dishwasher.  (ew...yes, that is a dirty spoon in his mouth)

Some definite quality time with the colanders which are Sam's VERY favorite toys right now.  He manages to find them no matter where I hide them.

The blue colander is his favorite.

Hanging on the balcony.

Staring down at the pool maybe wishing it were summer:

And mommy and daddy's favorite time...NAPTIME!

Sam's Got Rhythm

Apparently Sam really likes Cee-Lo's song, "Fool For You".

Yes, I know that Sam is standing on the coffee table and that this probably sends him the wrong message.  Especially when I yell at him to get off the table in a few months.  Not to mention the fact that it is probably dangerous if Sam were to fall off.

What's my response to all that?  Um...J put him there.  Blame him.  Send your letters to him. 

You should know that J was right there to catch Sam should he have tripped and fallen over.  I was just holding the camera.  ;-)

Fun times with GP

These pics are from Thanksgiving weekend.  I'm just SUPER late with my posting.
