3 Months old!
My how time has flown! I can't believe Sam is 3 months old already!
Yes, we're still swaddling...we might be for a long time! He still loves it!
Got this great rear view every day on my way to and from work!
Tummy Time - rolling off the pillow, but not rolling over on his own yet.
I love these pants - looks like he sat on a frog!
He loves his farm animals!
Sam's first time at Trivia - Johnny's Pizza 8-24-09
Eyeing daddy's pizza - no, no Sam! No meat for you!
It took me a while to figure out I had to flip the high chair upsidedown to put the car seat in it! DUH!

12 weeks
Below are some pics Pops took while we were "Skyping" tonight. This is a great way my parents get to actually see Sam just about every night. However, I think it makes them miss him even more! The quality isn't great, but he was smiling and laughing, so the ended up being pretty good pics. He's looking at Scott who is making silly noises and faces at him. He even giggled at one point - I think that made Lollie and Pop's night!
He had his 2 month check up on 8/11 and he got three vaccines (2 shots and one dropper). He did pretty good! He fussed a little after the shots, but didn't scream. Such a brave little man! He weighed in at 12.00 lbs and he's 23" long now. His head went from 15" to 16" since the last appointment. That brain is getting big!! Dr. Cole says we can start the rice ceral at around 4 months. She also said we need to work on Tummy Time (not Sam's favorite thing!), so we are trying to get that in every day. He still has his eczema pretty bad on his arms and legs, but Dr. Cole told us to start trying Cetaphil cream in addition to the Aquaphor and the Hydrocortizone cream. Sam does NOT like getting lotion put on him, but it does seem to help his skin!
He's still loving going to Ms. Cyndi's every day and Grandma (Scott's mom) comes up on Wednesdays, sometimes with Grandpa and keeps him that day. It's so great that he's getting that bonding time with her. I know Lollie is sooooo jealous! :o)
He's consistently sleeping 6 hour stretches at night, which is nice. We're actually getting some sleep and functioning a little better during the day! He still has a few nights here and there when he wakes up more than once, but not often.

Sam loves his bouncer seat!
Sam's new blue paci he got from his buddy Brody (Lauren's little boy)
10 weeks frog pics
I always want to fist bump him when he does this with his arm/fist. I know he's trying to figure out how to get his fist to his mouth, but it just looks so funny!

More 9 weeks pics
More pics from 9 weeks. Smiling more and more these days and sooooo close to laughing!
Funny face
He's always got those arms and legs going!
War Eagle!
He's looking at Scott - Daddy always makes him smile big!
You can see how big he's getting by seeing him in his carseat.

7-9 weeks
The last couple of weeks have been really good!
I went back to work on 7/20. Cyndi, a nice lady from church is keeping Sam during the day. She keeps 4 kids total, so Sam gets lots of attention! She has been wonderful. It was hard leaving him with someone else at first, but it's gotten a lot better. Mom stayed that whole first week and went and picked Sam up every day at noon. It kind of eased us into it (not that Sam seemed to mind - he really likes Ms. Cyndi!)
Some recent developments:
Rolling over onto his side - he does this in the pack n' play a lot (see pics below)
He's found his hands - and is trying to suck on his fingers to soothe himself (also a pic below)
Sleeping longer stretches - he's starting to sleep 6 & 7 hour stretches, which is wonderful at his age! We are so lucky!
Smiling - this is the coolest one, because he smiles when he sees familiar faces and when we smile and play with him!
He's eating 3-4 oz. per feeding now (which is how he can sleep longer stretches). I weighed him on our scale today and he's up to almost 12 lbs. His next doctor's appointment is on 8/11, so we'll see what the offical weight is then. We get several shots that day too, so I'm hoping he does as good as he did the first time with those!
7 weeks pic in his crib
Play time with Daddy (who can get him to smile more than anyone!)
7/26 - First time to Simpsonwood UMC - he did pretty good during service and immediately fell asleep afterwards!
church outfit
Tummy Time mat - I know, he's laying the wrong way!
Rolling on his side
