Happy 6 Month Birthday Sammie!

6 months, 4 days. We have been blessed to have spent the past 6 months with Sam in our lives. We celebrated the big day by getting Sam a birthday cupcake (as you see below). Sam also went to his 6 month check up this past week and is in the 90th percentile for height and the 75th percentile for weight and head circumference! This weekend he went with his Mom to a baby shower for Aunt Christi. He is getting big fast.

Mom and Dad got me a new hat this week to wear on my walks.

I'm getting pretty good at sucking on my feet.

Mommy loves her birthday boy.

Sam was very interested in his 6 month birthday cupcake...

Until the candle was blown out. Then he was upset...

Until he discovered the icing. Then he was happy again.

I still have my balloon. Best $3 Daddy has spent in a long time.

I spent some time with Grandpa and Grandma at Aunt Christi's baby shower.

I also spent some time with Marcella.

And Mawmaw and Shug.

They had some excellent toys there. My favorite was the wrapping paper.

I needed a little rest.

I was pretty excited to spend another day with Mom and Dad.

I had a great weekend.

I've been working hard trying to figure out the new horse toy that Mom and Dad have given me.

2 Days till 6 months Old

5 months, 29 days. We're closing in on a big "birthday" milestone of 6 months and are looking forward to it. Sammie has enjoyed a few more walks now that he is able to sit face first in his stroller without the carrier. He is trying new foods such as banana in his cereal with limited success. He is now able to easily roll over and crawling probably isn't too far away. He sits up easily and is pretty strong. His favorite thing in the world continues to be Cheyenne and he lights up when he sees her.

I still love my feet and socks. Sometimes I chew on them.

Mom and Dad got me a helium balloon. I love it.

Feet in the air!

  Nanna fed me some nanners.

Daddy has been in the CCU on overnight call every 4 days but I have still been able to spend time with him.

Hi there!

Sometimes I still prefer my thumb.

I like my new friend Lottie. This is our first playdate.

The weather is nice so I have been on more walks. Face forward now!

I still love my jungle except that now I sit up in it sometimes to play.

I can now "spin" my high chair toy. A few weeks ago I couldn't even reach it!

I'm still learning how to do this whole eating thing...

Success!

Sunny Days Ahead

5 months, 12 days old. Sam was able to celebrate mommy's birthday with both she and daddy. He also took an overnight trip to Grandpa and Grandma's at the farm. The weather has warmed up enough to take a walk which he enjoyed (except for the sunlight in his eyes at times). Sam also received a new exersaucer which he is really loving as you can see in the pictures below. He is really preferring to stand now for which he requires some assistance. He is chewing even more often and his first tooth may be coming soon.

Its warmer! Let's go for a walk!

I like to be naked every once and a while.

Grandpa and Grandma helped get me ready for another day at the farm!

I'm still loving my feet.

I love my Teddy Bear. I have learned how to throw it around.

The first day I tried out my new exersaucer I wasn't quite sure about it......

But now I am absolutely loving it!
