Double the Post - Now with Baptism!

Yeah, so last week there was no post. And I'd apologize, but I think you'll quite enjoy what we've compiled for you this time around.

It's been a busy couple weeks up here in Seattle, with one set of Grandparents here for the past two weeks, and another set for the next two. Pack that together with a trip to the zoo, lots of walks, and tons of other fun, and it's still the same Sam, with more features! Just today, he's started to sit up on his own...all that practice building up his abs is finally paying off! Of course, he'd still rather stand...but he's developing a bigger tool box.

Caught in mid-meal, Sam acts coy.

Sam supports local public radio! Thanks Joanne.

The Baby Einstein is a new favorite, and anything to chew on while teething is always welcome.

Mom catches Sam and Dad trying to get some shut-eye.

More Baby Einstein action, hmmph.

Another sneaky shot, this time with Grandma Jan takin' a snoozer with the boy.

Sam doesn't quite understand the purpose of the Johnny Jump Up, instead he tries to run everywhere, despite his parents' attempts to help him Jump Around.

Though he's taking a break from solid food, he still loves to play in his high chair.

At the Woodland Park Zoo, Sam loves the birdies.

Bubbles rule! Is he wearing a monacle?

It's Baptism day, and a photo with Mom's parents...

...followed by a shot with Dad's parents.

Now post-Baptism, Fr. Jack poses with the new initiate.

...and with the Godparents!

At the end of a long day, Sam winds down with a book.
