Zoo!

We took Sam to his first visit to the Baltimore Zoo.  Sam loves to make animal sounds so we thought he'd have fun seeing the bears, birds, giraffes, elephants, etc.
He seemed to have a blast with only a few meltdowns when it was time to move on to the next animal.

Let me apologize in advance for all the pictures of the back of Sam's head.   I'm sure this post will only fuel Jack's need to cut Sam's hair since it's clear his hair is out of control.

Watching the polar bear.

Pretty flowers.

"Come on, guys!"

Showing me the zebras.

Fascinated by the water.

Showing Daddy the birds and gazelles.

Elephants!

Love this boy!

Is it summer already?

80 degree weather today meant Sam got to spend some quality time with his water table.  He really loves the water.  I'll need to get him signed up for swim lessons soon.

  

What the heck happened to my baby boy?

He's suddenly taking on big boy responsibilities and I'm struggling with letting him go.  :-)
LOVES to brush his teeth. 

Sam's new favorite chore

"Washing dishes" is Sam's new fave activity.  He'll stand on a stool at the sink for more than 30 minutes just playing with the water and his spoons.  We can't give him anything that holds more water than a spoon holds b/c he has filled bowls/cups with water and dumped them on the floor.  Mopping is not MY fave activity.
While at Harmony's house on Easter, Sam "helped" with the dishes.

But don't worry...Sam spent plenty of time playing too.  Especially outside with GP.

The teachings of Zen

Sam likes to head outside after breakfast and tend to his rock gardens.  Though it is uncertain what he's thinking about, we imagine he's either pondering the true meaning of life as he becomes one with nature or seeking wisdom in the attainment of enlightenment.  We look forward to the day he can share.  Oh yeah...Go Heels!

A day at the zoo...well almost

Sam woke up to find himself at the zoo.  He loves to hear and practice saying all of the animal sounds.
