Up to 16 weeks, and +16 pounds!

It's after 10pm right now and the boy is still making noises from his crib...he's two hours behind schedule right now, and Mom and Dad haven't experienced this before. But anyway, last week a lot of fun things happened...Sam is now grabbing his toes, and talking almost all the time. He's been in a great mood for most of the past week. For Father's Day, Sam got Dad three pictures of him wearing his "My dad rocks" shirt (thanks, C) and they're pretty neat. You can see a couple of the pics that were in the frame below.

Uncle Mark visited this past weekend, which was great. Sam really enjoyed spending time with him and helping with his cribbage hands. This weekend the whole fam will go to Safeco to watch the Reds take on the Mariners. Sam and Dad will be wearing Red and Mom is gonna wear blue.

It's cool being flexy.

The cuteness never ends.

Can you spot Sam? Here he is with the rest of the kids in the PEPS group. Hint, he's wearing the outfit in the picture below.

Rawwwwwwr. How do I look, J Matt?

Kick it!

How true it is...

Mom and Dad enjoy a romantic dinner...Sam had a babysitter.

Uncle Mark greets Sam with a big grin.

The fact that Sam is labeled a 'vegetarian' confuses the kid.

Tummy Time has been good for Sam, he's really getting better at it.

"Oh yeah. We're having so much fun!! Everyone's got to have one of these play mats."

Sam's first ball isn't white with red laces, but Dad can deal.
