Peas

This is how Sam felt about them:

I tried a few more spoonfuls but eventually he wouldn't even open his mouth.  I didn't force them on him b/c honestly, the smell of the peas made me want to vomit.  Blech!  Who decided eating peas EVER would be yummy? 

We're moving on.  Maybe we'll try some fruit this weekend.

Sam has his first swim class tomorrow.  Can't wait to share pics!

In the meantime, I leave you with this adorable face:

And I think Sam may be too strong for the activity mat...

because this is how I found him earlier yesterday (for the 2nd time). 

He didn't even care and was just laying there watching cartoons.

Silly boy.

And last, here's Sam in the t-shirt his Aunt Drea bought him.

 

Another post about sitting

We're still working on it but Sam is getting better and better and has pretty much master the tripod position!

Here's proof:

This is what happens when Sam loses his balance and I'm not quick enough to catch him.  Doh!

Funny story...(Don't laugh too hard or J will hear you.)

Last week J had his first softball game in Indy.  He joined some league at work.  He did REALLY well and had some great hits and helped score quite a few runs.  It was awesome!

Then it was the last inning and the score was tied.  J was up to bat and just knew that he needed to get a hit and get into scoring position.  He gets his hit and b/c of a few bobbles with the ball, he has time to run all the way to 2nd base.  Only J knows that he needs to get to 3rd base to be able to eventually score and help his team win. 

So, he keeps running!  While running to 3rd base, J glances up to see where the ball is and that's when it happened.  Apparently J's upper body was moving quite a bit faster than his legs which created an unbalanced situation that sent J diving towards the ground.

You think the story is over?  Oh no.  Here's where we need to discuss what J calls the "TRIFECTA".  It just so happened to have rained a lot that day so the ground was nice and wet/muddy.  J just so happened to be wearing a nylon type windbreaker.  Those two things plus the speed at which J was traveling created a sort of "slip and slide" combo.  J actually SLID towards 3rd base on his belly. 

You think the story is over?  Oh no.  The slide stopped a foot short of the base and J needed to tag it before the 3rd baseman.  Enter the army crawl-like action that my husband took to tag the base with his fingertips.

J was covered in mud literally from head to toe.  LITERALLY.  His face was muddy and his entire front side was covered in red mud.  He was all scraped up and had a hurt foot.  That did not stop me from coming the closest I have ever come to peeing my pants (except when I was pregnant) from laughing so hard. 

This story is not an exaggeration.  OMG...so funny.

If you read this far, you get a reward!  It's a pic of the Sam-man!

This is one taken from our trip to Baltimore.  The one night that Harmony let GP rock Sammy to sleep.  So sweet!

We're sitting! (Well, almost!)

Sam and I have been spending our mornings practicing sitting.  Sam's doing an awesome job and doesn't complain too much.  He does, however, manage to spit up quite a few times during practice and that makes for lots of messy laundry for me to do.  I think by the time we go to his 6 month well baby check-up, Sam will have mastered sitting.

Here's some pics of practice:

Is this not the best smile?

 Here's Sam a little more wobbly but only b/c he was more focused with getting his toy in his mouth.  :)

Sam prefers to kick back on his boppy: 

Notice the crossed feet?  He prefers crossing his feet which makes sitting very difficult.

Teething makes his toys taste SO good!



::chant:: Let's go Yankees! (Clap, Clap, Clap)

Last year, J didn't get to go to even 1 Yankees game b/c I was pregnant and b/c of our big move to Indy.  Saturday night we headed to Camden Yards to see the Yankees face the O's.  The Friday night game was rained out so J was excited that Sabathia would be pitching and the game was AWESOME!

Here's my mom before the game, trying on my Yankees hat.  (Notice the Korean flag patch the J had put on my hat.  So sweet!)

We had awesome seats but at the 7th inning, we headed to the outfield and watched A-Rod's grandslam from right behind the bullpen.  We didn't see any good pitchers warming up since C.C. pitched so great.  I did get a glimpse of Joba though.  Here's the view we had from there:

While we were at the game, Harmony and GP were busy taking care of Sam which included feeding him some rice cereal.

Giving Sam his bottle:

And then some hang out time:

Barefeet in the grass...Ahhhhhh!

One of the days during our visit in Baltimore was 80 degrees out so we took Sam out to the backyard to get his first experience with green grass and Jollie, the family pet.

Daddy helping Sam stand in the grass.  Jollie observing.

Sam's not sure what's going on.  Jollie isn't sure if he likes Sam yet.

Sam can't stop looking at Jollie.  He was kinda obsessed with the dog.

Nothing like baby toes in the grass.  Love!



Enjoying some love with my boy!



Love the hat no matter how silly it looks.  :)
