The Easter(y) Post

We're still trying to take a few deep breaths and recover from Sam's birthday party a month ago, but of course Easter comes along and things get busy again. Grandma Jan and Grandpa Alan got to town the day after Easter and have been taking care of Sam and playing with him a lot. On his last visit, Gpa Alan has taught Sam how to drop balls (toys) in baskets (trash cans) and this time around he taught Sam how to go downstairs on his own. In between the visits, Dad bought Sam a basketball hoop so he could practice on his jumpshot. Of course, Sam's a bit short to dunk on it right now so he's been getting some hops from his friends and family.

New developments - Sam loves blood oranges and strawberries. Dad is worried that Sam will eat all of the (HIS!) strawberries. He can say "truck," "grandpa," "grandma," and "mommy." He kind of says "basketball" but it sounds more like "bak-ball." He knows what daffodils are loves to pick up rocks and click them together.

During the Big East tourney, Sam and Dad wore their Blue and Gold.


I forget exactly why he needed to get clean so quickly that neither a shower or bath was available, so here it is, titled, "baby in a sink."


Sam and Kim hit the community center where Sam got his photo with the Easter Bunny.


And got to play with firetrucks.


And look like a cute li'l bunny.


The Thriftway held an Easter Egg hunt (15,000 eggs) and Sam got about 20 of them.


He was good at finding and opening them - spilling the candy onto the floor.


Yay! Time for food!


During March Madness, Sam had his MU gear on again. Stupid Stanford.


Easter morning, 6am. Sam is into the M&Ms.


Yum! Choclut! Seriously, the kid is a chocoholic. He sees 'em, he eats 'em.


The Easter Bunny brought Sam some fishing gear.


And a stuffed ducky and a book.


And what a good book it is, with textures.


We just had to throw this pic in there.


Sam meant to slip and fall.


Breakfast! Time to eat the bunny's ears.


At Church, Sam clapped along with the music.


Compare this picture to the photo from last year when Sam was 1/2 the size (click below)

The Sam/Evan Easter photo is now officially annual.


Of course, Sam was not too happy when it was time for pics with Mom & Dad.


Or Athena and Andy, but it was still fun!
