Teeth!

Well they have finally broken the surface! Samuel has two little pearly whites that have broken the surface of his lower gums, and he has taken to biting everything from his teething rings to my chin and nose -? -

He seems very excited about getting to use these new additions, but not too happy about the pending arrival of their friends. I keep telling him just to hang in there, and he'll be eating steak before he knows it. I'm not too sure he believes me.....

Firsts....

Samuel is all of 6 months now ( well, he will be in two days ). And we've started to slowly add solids to his diet. Last night while I was feeding him a little rice cereal he took the spoon out of my hand and informed me that he wanted to start taking control of the spoon.



I think I see lots of messes and frequent baths in our future.



This weekend while Bill and I were playing with Samuel on the floor, he discovered that he can balance himself while in a seated position.






He was very excited about that, and so were we.

A Lot Can Change in a Year...

It's been over a year since I posted anything on this blog, and a lot has happened since then.
We've moved (again) though this time within the same city. We needed a little more room than our 2 bedroom apartment could provide, as we've added a new addition to our family. Our baby boy Samuel was born this past February, almost six months ago.



And since my life is primarily consumed with him I am going to change the format of my blog a little bit, so that I can share photos and videos and events in his life with those of you who are interested in watching him grow. I'll also continue to post on other things as time allows as well, but as he's about to start crawling, I think my opportunities to sit down and pick up a lap top are going to be rather limited.
