Brotherly Love.

So intrigued by his big brother, he wants to learn all about him.

He loves to grab faces, and feel your lips when you talk.

He giggles when you pretend to eat his fingers with your lips.

Ethan wants to keep him. (Thank God 'cause there's no returns).

My Sweet Baby Boy.

Sitting in a high chair, eating rice cereal, full of smiles.

My baby is growing up.

We love him dearly.

Four Month Check Up.

Sammie had his 4 month check up last week. Got 2 shots! He weighed in at 14 lbs. 11oz. I can't believe how fast this has all gone! Didn't I just bring him home like last week!?

The cutest thing happened this morning. Sammie and I were sleeping in bed. He was all snuggled up against me, and I stretched and made a morning yawn sound, 2 seconds later he did the same thing. Exact noise too! It was so cute.

mmm...nummy fingers.

This was his "make shift" bouncy chair with a shade cover. I just threw a blanket over the top to give him a little "tent" of shade! He really loves being outside.

Egg Hunt.

Our egg hunt on Easter morning. Ethan had a blast. The Easter Bunny

brought him lot's and lot's of chocolate!

I know this post is a little late for Easter, but I haven't had the time!

We went to church Easter Sunday, and for some reason, Ethan was mad at Mommy and Daddy. He didn't talk to us the whole time during church..but as soon as we got home, and he saw the Easter bunny had come and left some surprises for him...his mood quickly changed!

Mom and Sam enjoying the beautiful weather.

Chocolate Lips.

Someone LOVES buckeye's.

Can you tell? When his sweet little voice says
"MMmm, I love peanut butter and chocolate Mommy"...
It's kinda hard to say no.

Sammie Baby.

Fishy Face.

Baby Toes. (and chunky thighs)

Just Sam.

It's a Miracle!

Oh my goodness! I caught them both looking at the camera, at the same time, and Ethan even has a smile on his face. Now getting both of them to smile, look at the camera and stay still?? I'll save that for the pros!!

3 hours outside play = sleep all night!

The wonderfully spring-ish weather we had last week was just enough to tease you that spring is right around the corner. Until we got 7 inches of snow on Saturday night. Ethan and Sadie were playing outside for hours on end...until leading to complete exhaustion and sleeping through the night without getting out of bed 12 times!! Yes Ethan does not nap anymore, bedtime is another battle. You read him a night time story and just as you sit down on the couch thinking "aah time to relax"...NOT...Ethan is standing in his doorway waiting for you to "tuck him in" again, and again, and again. One night Nick and I were just so tired and wanted him to sleep so we could sleep, we actually let him sleep on our floor next to our bed. I thought he would wake up in the middle of the night and want to go back to his own bed. But he never did. I thought great a new habit he's going to want to get into!

Sammie is doing great. He couldn't be a happier baby. Some nights he sleeps great, others..not so great. But oh well, I really don't mind getting up with him. He went through a phase the other day of not napping all day unless I was holding him. Now that's unmanageable! Especially with another child to take care of! But it's better now.

We are FINALLY finishing our kitchen!! We started priming the cabinets yesterday, took all the doors and hinges off, and picked out a new counter top. I cannot wait until we have NO more projects in our house and I can just enjoy it nice and finished. I think that might never happen!! :)
