70 days, wow.

It's funny how you fall into a rhythm so easily. Sam is getting to sleep for the night somewhere between 8 and 8:30pm...and once we start the effort, he's usually out in less than 5 minutes. Friday night was the first time he slept for 8 hours without waking...quite an accomplishment, but we have this feeling that he only will do things like that on the weekend, as after 8 on Friday and 7 on Saturday, he opted for four on Sunday night. At least Dad can sleep through just about anything. Sam knows it's play time when Dad gets home from work, which is pretty neat. We get a lot of smiles out of him during that time, and he is definitely smiling more in general. His last weigh-in was just short of 13 pounds...my how the boy has grown. No more scrawny arms and legs, instead he's got a double-chin!

On his sweet play mat. He hasn't figured it all out yet but he loves to dance on it.

Also on the play mat...having a great time!

Any poses like this are the work of Mom.

But you've got to admit, she knows what she's doing; he always looks great!

A security blanket, at this age? No, it's a burp cloth...and it matches the duckies.

Totally cashed out, he'll sleep anywhere.

The little guy loves the camera (and Mom & Dad)

Mom and Sam pose in front of some colorful flora.

Dad tells Sam a hilarious (punny) joke. He can't hold it in.


Sam loves his Baby Bjorn so much that he takes a nap whenever in it.
