Party!

Sam, Dave and I attending a party Sunday, celebrating six-month birthdays among a group of moms I occasionally meet up with.

Sam was among eight other babies, ranging in age from 5 1/2 months to 7 months - Sam is one of the oldest.

I don't see these women too much these days. Most of them have returned to work. So, it was nice to get together with them.

Sunday was a gorgeous day. Temps reached near 60 with ample sunshine. Spring is on its way!!!

Independent Mobility On The Horizon.....

Sam is starting to show interest in crawling. He is able to stay on his hands and knees for at least 30 seconds. We have to put him in that position, but while on his belly, he does try to pull his knees under him.

I'm hoping it will take him another month or two to figure crawling out, but I guess I need to get my act together and start childproofing the apartment!

Big Boy Bath + more

Sam is getting too small for his infant tub - mainly because when I lift him up to wash his behind his head comes close to hitting our kitchen cabinets above the sink.

So, the other day we tried the big boy tub. He loved it!

Here are some photos of him in the tub plus some more: Sammy

Sam's First Trip To D.C.

Sam and I traveled to D.C. over the weekend to visit Nathan and Kyle. Friday was Nathan's birthday and Sam wanted to take his uncle out for lunch.

Sam did well during the trip via Amtrak. It was difficult getting on and off the train with our luggage, but there were many kind people to help us out.

We left Thursday afternoon, and on Friday, we took the uncles for lunch at Red Robin and then to the mall to pick up cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Yummy!

We spend Saturday hanging out, eating lunch at Panera and shopping at Barnes and Noble and Best Buy.

A good time was had by all. Here are the photos: Sam's D.C. Trip

A Photo Review

Here are a few recent photos of Sam, taken over the past couple of weeks. The last two photos in the Picasa album were taken yesterday, my birthday. We had a babysitter come for the first time, so Dave and I could go out to dinner. It was very strange and hard for us to leave the house without him. But we did enjoy ourselves, dining at an Italian restaurant in our neighborhood. The babysitter is the nursery worker at our church, so Sam knew her, which made us feel better.
