SAHM
I have been having so much fun with Sam during the day, now that I’ve been home a little more. Sam is eating great and gaining weight, feeling great, and getting on a regular schedule. He had ear tube surgery last week and is doing awesome. Hopefully, that will be the end of his ear infections! He’s a great grocery shopping buddy and loves watching people when we run other errands. And, as you can see, he loves to help cook and clean!


Kissin’ cousins
Mike’s entire family…sisters, brother-in-law, nephew, mom, dad, grandma and her boyfriend, Frank, came a couple weekends ago to celebrate Christmas. We had a great weekend of fun, food, presents, and more food! Our almost 2-year-old nephew Gage, loved playing with Sam…they were so much fun together…just wait until a couple more years! We asked Gage to give Sam a little kiss…he did, and then they kept on hugging and kissing eachother! It was really sweet! Then, Uncle Dana and Mike put it to a stop!

Mama-shi and Grampy had a great time with their grandkids…playing and reading all weekend. It was nice that we could all be together for such a nice weekend.

We exchanged presents - Sam loved it! I swear, he knew just what to do when given a little present. He loved playing with his new toys and books.

Aunt Lisa and Aunt Nicole had a great time with the kids too.

All in all, it was a great weekend had by all. I think we’ll make it a tradition!
Daddy, no more photos
Ok, this is what happens after about 130 photos in different poses with different outfits when it is naptime. It’s hard being a model.
Feed the dog
Sam learned a new trick this week. If he drops food on the floor, the dog comes running and eats it. He thinks that funny. Generally he throws more food on the floor than he’s been eating lately.
We finished our Christmas cards and got at look at one tonight. I think I’ll post a preview picture so you can get an idea of what they might look like. Sam’s a cutie.
