Sam's Grammy Shap sent him this tiger and Sam LOVES him.  He carries him around while saying "Meow" over and over again.

Sam's Harmony made him a couple of pillows that he likes to lay on while watching Chuggington.

Can you feel it?

Sam certainly can.  He hears music and stops whatever he's doing b/c HE. MUST. DANCE.  He feels the music through his whole body.  ;-)

Cookin' in the kitchen

J and I share a love for the yard sale.  He researches them during the week and we head out on Saturday mornings to see what we deals we can find.

This past weekend we scored a play kitchen in great condition and it came with a bag of pots, pans, and play food.  It is the perfect size for our small apartment.

We cleaned it all up and then let Sam have some fun. He seems to love it but often confuses the play food for real food.

Sam's new "friends"

Sam has an obsession.  Rocks.  They are his friends.  He looks for them everywhere and protects them from anyone (mom and dad) who would like to take them away.


Must run with the rock.

My prize rock!

Daddy is trying to reason with Sam to give up the rocks.

Look at them, mom!  Aren't they great?

Bye, rocks!

Let's burn some energy!

Sam is so full of energy now that it takes multiple trips to the park to tire him out enough so that he will nap or sleep during the night.

Trike Time!

Sam's been spending time riding his bike with his Aunt Drea. 

Apparently his head has grown so big that he needs a new helmet. 



And getting some love from Harmony...
