4 Wonderful Months With Sam

Since my last post Sam has had his 4 month checkup. He now weighs 16 pounds 8 ounces and is 28 inches long. He's at the 75th percentile which for us is perfect. He is now able to stand for a few minutes with assistance and kicks a lot more often. We have tried to give him cereal with limited success as you can see below. He is chewing on things more often. He also experienced his first snowstorm today. He is still sleeping through the night and will sleep for 12 hours straight if you will let him (which is a huge blessing).

Sam has a hold of my ear.

Tummy time. Peyton Manning would be proud.

Dang he's cute. He spends most of his time in a good mood and is a very happy baby.

Sam's first attempt at food other than milk. He ended up wearing it rather than eating it.

One of Sam's new favorite things to do is to lie on our bed and talk to the ceiling fan.

Whatever you give him now goes into his mouth. Here a teether is his victim.

Sam likes his Lion blanket.

His legs are getting pretty strong. Here you can see him using them on his own.

Sam's homeboy Ryan and homegirl Danelle came over and brought Sam an awesome miniature rocking horse and Bengals hat. He's wearing some dinosaur slippers that Daddy bought him that are a little too big for him right now (but still really cool).

Sam and Cheyenne are quickly becoming friends.

Sam and I ventured outside briefly for his first snow picture. Next year we'll make a snowman.

Sam enjoyed the snow.

Almost 4 Months Old

Sammie will be 4 months old in a few short days on the 24th. He is starting to chew on his toys more often but no sign of any teeth just yet. He is now playing for longer periods of time and can stand with support for a few seconds. We have been using his bumbo to help him get used to sitting as he will be ready to eat some cereal in a few weeks. He loves it when you sing to him and spends most of the day playing and giggling.

Sam loves to "swim" in his new ocean.

Cheyenne has been sleeping in Sam's room with him more often.

Sam looks great in his UK shirt.

Sam has spent some quality time with Grandpa Terry and Grandma Billie. He's also spent a few Friday's with Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Pat who are babysitting while we are at work.

Sam loves his thumb as much as his binkie now.

Sammie is liking his bouncy chair more lately.

He's ready to go!

There is nothing cuter than babies and puppies --- that is unless the baby doesn't like the puppy.

This is one of our favorite pictures of Sam.

Sam the man.

Sam wore his Colts jersey that uncle Ben gave him to cheer on Peyton Manning.

A New Year With Sammie

New Years 2010 is here an Sam is now 3 months old. He spent New Years at home with Grandpa Terry and Grandma Billie while his mom and dad went to a New Year's Party at Ryan and Danelle's. Sam received a new play gym as a New Year's present and really likes it in addition to his older play gym. He's starting to sit in his Bumbo with a little help from Mom. He's a big boy, as you can tell.

Daddy is trying to make the same face as Sammie.

Sam still likes play gym 1.0 and his pack and play.

Sam likes to sleep in this position. Here he is on the couch.

Sam still likes to travel. He likes to sleep in the car.

Grandpa got to spend a little time with the Sam Man on New Years.

Sam still is doing great with his tummy time.

Sam watches football with Daddy like this. He's also becoming a huge John Wall fan.

He's getting better at sitting but still needs a little help.

Sam loves his new play gym. Its an ocean theme.
