grammy's playmate

We are getting ready for Grammy's arrival on Saturday. We are really looking forward to seeing her, and most of all, she will be helping take care of Sam for the week while I attend a course for work. I've been really hoping this course would come available and it has! We are busy prepping food, pumping milk and most of all, getting sleep so I can turn my brain back on - here's hoping it still works. This space will be quiet for the most part, but we will report back on how the week goes.

Oh, big day today - avocado for lunch, he loved it, Anna did not.

cleaning

Some shots from around here over the past week or so. We are doing some major cleaning up around here, both in closet, garden shed, basement, toy and now in camera form.

Daily food intake from today - Anna is now helping, and Sam seems to have it figured out by himself...sometimes.

six whole months

Our Sammy Sam, Sam is six months tomorrow! He's 20 lbs, he loves eating food (so far we've had rice cereal, chicken, sweet potato and pears). He loves watching Anna, jumping up and down in the jumper, the colour red, and being with lots of people. He has the cutest giggle, loves being naked and having a bath. He is now sitting up, and to get him to smile for these pictures Anna ran right at the camera with him on the floor. Happy half birthday Sam, we are celebrating tomorrow by taking the Mazda in for an oil change and getting pizza for supper!

weekending

At Fort Calgary, Anna added to the herd, while I checked out the baby supplies from the 1930's. Sam ate chicken, Jacob entertained with puppets, Katie got some snuggles, Stew read books and did laundry. It was fun, thanks for visiting guys.
