TGIF! :)

Lauren took this photo of Sam today - he is playing with some of his favorite toys on his mat on the sun porch.

Sam in the morning

This photo was taken on May 20th but I think I only posted it on the blog header and not in an actual post - so seeing as I want to update the blog banner, I wanted to post this one here to keep it around so to speak.  This was my current favorite photo of him, until I got the one from Lauren today of Sam on his play mat. I took this photo of Sam first thing in the morning - I just love hoe excited he is for his day :)

Sleepover!

The past few days were really, really warm for this time of year, in the 80s I believe.  This was Sam's first time with hot-ish weather and so we needed to get a little creative to keep him as comfortable as possible.

So Tuesday night we installed the A/C  (we only have one at this point) in our bedroom and then made a make-shift crib for Sam in our bedroom.  Here is a (blurry) shot of the make-shift crib:

And Sam really pleased to not be in his bedroom - with some of his favorite toys ;)

Another Bath

Geoff gave Sam a bath and who can resist a good "baby in a towel" photo opp? ;)

More Food Fun

We gave Sam some oatmeal over the weekend and he enjoyed it much more than the rice cereal - here are a few photos from his first run in with oatmeal :)  We also gave him mashed up avocado - I think next on the list will be squash.  Lauren made him some butternut squash in the Fall before he was born - it is a perfect time to defrost a few.

Picnic in the (Habitat) Park

Sunday afternoon Jenn, Lauren and I took advantage of the incredibly lovely weather and took Sam to Habitat in Belmont which is a Mass Audubon property.  It is one of my favorite places and it is so closeby we are really lucky.  We had lunch there and hung out in the Upper Meadow all afternoon.

Elephant Shirt

Geoff's cousin Helen gave Sam a really adorable elephant onesie so we took the opportunity over the weekend to take a photo for Helen to show how perfect it is for him.  This is Sam just relaxing in the arm chair in his nursery :)
