Our Growing Boy

Its been a busy week for us for different reasons --- mom is busy tending to Sam and his ongoing growth spurt while dad is busy with work. Sam has grown out of some of his clothes and is starting to fill out. We are looking forward to spending our first Halloween together as a family.



Smile Sam!

I'm getting Sam used to what a football looks like (just in case UK needs him this year)

Our good friend Jessica stopped by this week.  I wasn't present the whole time she was here but I heard Sam was a hit!


Sam is a really good baby. So far he only really cries when he gets hungry.



One of Sam's favorite places to hang out is his changing pad - he loves it there. You can see how his little arms, legs and especially his belly have filled out. Leah is doing a wonderful job making him into a bigger little man.

Happy 1 Month Birthday Sam!

Work has kept me extremely busy this past week so I am later in posting than usual. Sam had his 1 month birthday this past Saturday. He is becoming more vocal and is smiling more often. He is keeping mom busy with his voracious appetite. He is doing well and is growing fast. We love the joys of spending our days with a little boy.


Sam was excited to watch the UK win on his birthday. He rooted hard for the Cats but still hasn't learned to say "first down Kentucky"


Sam tried out the quilt that Great-Grandma Rose made for him. He liked it so much that he decided not to soil it.

Busy Week

Sam has had a very good and very busy week. He is eating and sleeping better than last week. He has had a bunch of visitors this week including his Aunt Bethany and Uncle Ben.



Sam's umbilical cord fell off this past week so he has now received a few big boy baths!


Sam has really started to enjoy his bouncy chair!


We've tried out Sam's crib to see how he fits (he fits great!) although he still sleeps in our bedroom in his bassinet.


Sam loves to watch football with daddy.


Mom is getting pretty good at trimming Sam's nails.

He sometimes does this. We're not sure why.

Aunt Denise and Grandma Billie came by this week.

Mom tried out a new carrier today. Sam liked it.

Daddy bought Sam some really cool dinosaur socks.




Aunt Bethany, Uncle Ben, Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Pat stopped by for a few hours to meet and greet the latest edition to the clan.

Sam was really glad to see Poodle.

Another Weekend Gone By

Sam is closing in on being 3 weeks old now and we are trying to treasure every sleepless day/night that we have while he is so little. At times he is a handful (especially on Leah) but it is all worth it, of course. We are truly blessed to be parents and are thankful for every day that we spend with him. He continues to get stronger and is becoming more aware of his surroundings.


Ryan and Danelle stopped by Friday night to spend a little time with their new friend Sam.





Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Pat came down today and brought a surprise! Grandpa made a UK wagon for Sammie!


Mom and Sam after another long afternoon.

Sam is now 2 weeks old

Another pretty busy week has gone by and the time seems to already be flying. Sam went to his second doctor's appointment today and has already gained his weight back --- he is now 8 pounds 1 ounce which is a full pound more than when we brought him home on Sept 26th.


Our good friends Kenneth and Jennifer stopped in to meet Sammie.

We think Sam has already gotten a little bigger.



Sam the little man.


Sam is ready to make his second trip to UK to see his doctor.


Barbara and Brian stopped by with their daughter Logan to meet little Sam. I think Logan has a crush on him!
