So very sweet

One of Mommy's favorite new pictures.

Dad's the best!

My daddy is HILARIOUS!

Uncle Tom

Uncle Tom came to visit. Pretty sure we'll be buds!

Making a fort

Daddy turned his back to make a bowl of cereal and Sam pulled the little table over himself to make a fort. He was pretty smug.

This photo is from Valentine's day. Sam's balance is getting good enough that he can sit on top of the lion for a while. He obviously loves it!

Skill building

Sam is already learning the importance of "just listening" to the women in his life.

7 Months Old!

I'm already seven months old today. I've been celebrating by taking extra long naps. Yesterday was really exhausting. Daddy gave me a bath, which I loved, then we went to my Autie Kim and Uncle Tim's to watch the Super Bowl. It was great to see the underdog win, but Daddy was wishing it was the Packers rather than the Giants, and I said "grrchcchnn" in agreement. I got my first tooth a few days ago. Teething really bites! I've been relatively happy in spite of it. It helps that I get to see my friend Madalyn twice a week, and then on Thursday nights my Grandpa Carpenter comes to play with me while Daddy and Mommy go to a class at church. He's really good at watching me. He entertains me a lot more than Mommy. I don't want to ruin a good thing, so I behave pretty well. Well, I better go. Mommy doesn't think that anything else I want to say is very creative.
