Home Is Where Sam Is

I took these photos of Sam, this morning and I am in love with them.  With him, too, of course.  He's pretty great with that tongue and all.

Dad and Connie Visit

Dad and Connie visited a couple weekends ago.  I didn't do so well at getting photos, but these two were from my Instagram feed, that weekend.  Top photo: Dad and Brian enjoying green beers (made green by chlorophyll not food coloring) at Whole Foods.  Bottom photo: Sam enjoying bubble time with Grandma C.

13 Months

Somehow, another month has flown right by us and our Sam is now 13 months old. 

Right now, Sam:

• is very unpredictable about what he will eat.  The only things that he will "for sure" eat, every time that they are offered, are veggie straws and Cheerios.  For everything else, it's a big guessing game.  Something he enjoyed for lunch may or may not be spit out at dinnertime.
• knows how to give five, clap, raise his arms in the air to show that he is "so big" and wave.
• likes bubbles.
• tries to say "quack" and "meow" and can successfully growl like a lion.  
• likes to read books.
• likes bath time.  
• hates having his diaper/clothes changed and squirms around like a crazy person.
• still likes to play peek-a-boo and patty-cake.
• still puts everything into his mouth. 
• drops half of his food onto the floor around his highchair.
• smiles every time that he sees Mabel.
• likes to "help" with the dishes and explore the inside of the refrigerator.
• really likes his nursery rhyme book.  
• is loved.
