Sam is a SUPEr healthy 7 month old. He weighs 20 pounds and is over 28 inches long. Though very much his own person, Sammy has the same happy disposition of his brother Collin.
He is different because he is always going going going. A couple of months ago, Sam and Collin's babysitter Grandma Sue realized that Sammy LOVES the Johnny Jump up. Previously Sammy would only last bout 20 minutes in his traditional flor activity gym. We have found that Sammy will stay up to 45 minutes without complaint in the Jumper! One afternoon he even feel asleep in it, out cold he would reflexivly kick when it stopped moving.
Sam is sitting up for very long periods of time and scooching forward on the floor. Its just a mtter of time before he starts crawling. We anticipate he will move through crawling to walking smoothly and QUICKLY but of course we'll update you.
Sammy had a WONDERFUL first christmas. It was filled with family, and fun. He was visited by all his granparents which was such a treat. Of course his favoritie part of the gift exchange was all the colorful paper and tissue. He is very fond of some squishy blocks and a wobbly penguin he received.

Just a peanut
When Faythe and Al were here I uploaded some pictures from the summer from Faythe's camera. You can see how much Sam has changed in only a few months.
Christmas!
Samm's first Christmas was a MAMOUTH sucess. He did so well, no meltdowns, no illness- just tons of smiles for all invloved.
Holiday Open House
As we mentioned December kept the family busy. On the 20th we hosted a holiday open house with a small twist. Inspired by my company holiday card that was about "filling 150 spaces" (blood banks, donation bins, minds, time etc.) We asked guests to bring donoation items for the Emergency Food Shelf. Though there was a huge snow storm many joined us, others that couldn't make it, stopped by to make a contribution in the week after. We were able to donate over 8 large bags of groceries.
